As a Pacific Dental Services affiliated Dentist, you...

Enjoy a superior, state-of-the-art work environment. We invest heavily in new technologies, systems and delivery methods that will make your practice the leader in cost-efficient, time-saving quality dental care. PDS™ buying power assures innovations that contribute to better dental health.

Are supported by an exceptional staff. Trained and dedicated individuals fill every position in each dental office. From the Receptionist who greets each patient as a guest, to the Treatment Coordinator who skillfully guides patients’ acceptance of follow-up care, the focus is on providing the Perfect Patient Experience®. A full-time Office Manager and Back Floor Supervisor oversee the daily operation of the practice, freeing you to see more patients and give them more personal attention.

Are provided continuing education and training opportunities for lifelong learning. PDS has developed training second to none for licensed professionals, managers, and office staff. Our educational environment for Dentists, known as Pacific Dental University, offers an array of courses from basic diagnostics to advanced surgical implant training. We are committed to clinical growth in advanced technologies and restorations, and the continued refinement of case acceptance skills. PDS also has the most complete management training program in the industry for Office, Multi-office, and Regional Managers.

Are offered excellent compensation. According to the latest survey from the American Dental Association, general practitioners who own their practice in the U.S. have a net income of $202,930.* PDS Affiliated Associates and Owner Dentists earn considerably more than private practitioners. In 2008, Owner Dentists affiliated at least two years earned an average of $375,000 in combined W-2 and profit distributions up from $355,000 in 2007, while full-time Associates made an average income of $172,000 in 2008.

Are on an exciting professional career path. As a new Associate in an established PDS affiliated office, you’ll be mentored by an experienced Owner Dentist who will help you hone your clinical skills, speed, and diagnostic ability as you settle in during the first critical years. You will continue to develop your proficiency, confidence and capabilities. If you wish, you can fulfill your ultimate goal of becoming an Owner Dentist with your own affiliated practice. Or, you can decide to remain an Associate and still enjoy a productive, rewarding, and satisfying career.
