Associate Dentist

Associate Dentist - Private Practice with Sign On Bonus & CE Allowance

Location: Hawkins, Texas

Status: Full-Time / 4 days/week

Compensation & Benefits: $250K - $400K

Imagine walking into a practice where you’re the only doctor in town – literally. That’s the opportunity at Hometown Dental in Hawkins, Texas. You’ll inherit a steady stream of loyal patients from the surrounding community and enjoy true clinical autonomy from day one. With a supportive, values-driven team and a new facility coming in December 2025 (complete with CBCT and modern tech), you’ll have the space and resources to do your best work, without corporate pressure or micromanagement.

Dr. Jorden Mortensen is on a mission to restore the standard of care in rural Texas, bringing clinical excellence and high-integrity leadership to underserved communities. At Hometown Dental, you’ll find a culture rooted in extreme ownership, positivity, and teamwork where your independence is respected and your commitment to going above and beyond for patients is truly valued.

You’ll thrive here if you’re confident, kind, and self‑motivated; someone who doesn’t need hand‑holding, loves being part of a close‑knit town, and is eager to lead. If you’re looking for mentorship, autonomy, and a tight team culture in a small‑town setting, this could be your dream fit.

This likely isn’t the right fit if you prefer to work without close team collaboration, struggle with day‑to‑day flexibility, or feel out of place in a tight‑knit rural community. If you expect strict separation between clinical and front‑office roles, or you’re uncomfortable pitching in when the unexpected hits, this environment may feel like a stretch. Our team performs at its best when everyone remains calm under pressure, communicates effectively across roles, and genuinely cares about making things easier for both patients and coworkers.

• Extreme Ownership – We take personal responsibility for everything within our control. No blaming. No excuses. Just action and accountability.
• Positive Energy – We bring good energy to every interaction, with teammates and patients. The doctor sets the tone for the entire office.
• Hard Work – If a patient needs same‑day treatment, we do everything we can to make it happen. We show up ready to help, even when it’s inconvenient.
• Clear Communication – Whether it’s clinical conversations with patients or logistical coordination with the team, we believe in transparency, clarity, and understanding.
• Adaptability – In a small‑town practice, flexibility is essential. We adjust, pivot, and figure things out always with the patient’s best interest in mind.

• Deliver high‑quality general dentistry, including restorative, extractions, and removable dentures.
• Lead and operate as the sole dentist on‑site, supported by a trusted, close‑knit clinical team.
• Provide same‑day care when possible and appropriate.
• Communicate clearly with patients and the team, fostering trust and consistency.
• Embrace a leadership role in a growing rural practice poised for expansion.

• You’ll earn above‑market pay in a community where your dollar goes further. With minimal competition and low overhead, this opportunity offers financial freedom without sacrificing work‑life balance.
• Step into a practice with a steady flow of patients from day one, with no need to build from scratch. As the only dentist in town, you’ll be viewed as a trusted provider and a vital part of the community.
• This is a high‑trust environment where emotional intelligence, ownership, and transparency drive how the team works and grows together.
• You’ll soon be working in a brand‑new space designed with efficiency and comfort in mind. CBCT and other modern tools will support the quality of care and pace you’re proud to deliver.
• The staff here believes in the mission, and it shows. With deep trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to service, the culture is calm, collaborative, and energizing.

• Confident and competent in restorative, surgical, and removable procedures.
