Hands-On Patient Care in a Supportive Setting

Your daily clinical practice at Gentle Family Dentistry is designed to let you focus on quality patient interactions rather than high-volume turnover. You will provide essential dental hygiene services, including routine cleanings, scaling and root planing (SRPs), and comprehensive patient education that empowers individuals to maintain their oral health between visits. Patients span the full age spectrum — from young children learning their first brushing techniques to elderly patients managing complex dental needs — allowing you to practice with variety and impact.

In this supportive environment, you will collaborate closely with dentists, dental assistants, and administrative staff. The clinic is equipped with modern technology that streamlines care and enhances patient outcomes. With fewer patients per day than many private practices demand, you’ll have the time and resources to ensure each patient leaves feeling cared for and confident.
