Why You’ll Love Working Here

Snow Hill Dental Associates is a patient-first, ethics-driven private practice led by Dr. Ben Strahl, a thoughtful, clinically focused owner with high standards and a calm, low-drama leadership style. This is a practice where quality matters more than speed, integrity matters more than ego, and long-term relationships—both with patients and team members—are the foundation of success. If you’re looking for a place to do dentistry the right way, this practice was built for you.

You’ll be stepping into a stable, well-established practice with over 3,000 active patients and a strong community reputation. The team is experienced, respectful, and highly communicative, with long-tenured hygienists and leadership that values mutual trust. Systems are predictable, assistants are supportive, and the environment is intentionally designed to reduce chaos and burnout so you can focus on excellent patient care.

This role is best suited for dentists who enjoy practicing thoughtfully and value quality over speed. Dentists who prefer highly production-driven, fast-paced environments or who are looking for a short-term role may find this practice less aligned with their goals. Snow Hill Dental Associates is intentionally built for clinicians who appreciate ethical decision-making, clear communication, and a steady, long-term approach to patient care.

Mentorship here is real—not scripted or performative. Dr. Strahl maintains an open-door approach and is deeply invested in helping the right associate grow clinically and professionally. Whether you want guidance on implants, extractions, treatment planning, case acceptance, or the business side of dentistry, you’ll have access to thoughtful, judgment-based mentorship backed by years of real-world experience. The practice is also equipped with modern technology, including CBCT and Primescan scanners, as well as digital workflows, to support high-quality outcomes.

This role is built for longevity. The practice is already fee-for-service dominant, financially healthy, and positioned for continued growth. For the right associate, there is a clearly defined path to ownership—starting with a buy-in opportunity at 2–3 years and full ownership at 10 years. This opportunity is not for someone looking for a short-term role or a stepping stone.

Located in historic Snow Hill, Maryland, this community offers a slower pace of life with a significantly lower cost of living than major metro areas—without feeling isolated. Snow Hill is just 15 minutes from Ocean City and Salisbury, giving you easy access to beaches, dining, shopping, and entertainment while still enjoying small-town charm. You’ll be able to own a beautiful home, build real community ties, and maintain balance without sacrificing income or quality of care.

• Integrity – We believe excellent dentistry starts with honesty, transparency, and doing the right thing for patients at all times. Treatment recommendations are made based on clinical need, not production pressure. Accountability and ethical decision-making are expected and supported.
• Quality Over Ego – Clinical standards matter more than speed, volume, or bravado. We value sound judgment, self-awareness, and knowing when to proceed versus when to refer. Pride comes from doing excellent work, not from cutting corners or proving a point.
• Patient-First Care – Long-term trust with patients is more important than short-term wins. We prioritize clear communication, education, and thoughtful case presentation so patients feel confident in their care. Every decision is made with the patient’s best interest in mind.
• Respect & Teamwork – A low-drama, respectful environment is intentional here. Doctors, hygienists, assistants, and administrative team members are treated as equals with shared goals. Collaboration and professionalism are non-negotiable.
• Growth Mindset – Learning does not…
