About The Position

NiteLines USA is seeking a Dentist to serve at a dental clinic at 4900 Broad River Road in Columbia, South Carolina. The role includes examining and diagnosing patients, performing dental procedures, creating and updating dental policies and procedures, serving as Dental Director, and serving on the SCDJJ medical committee. A full-time dental assistant is onsite to assist with procedures, and the clinic is fully equipped with newly acquired dental equipment. The planned patient volume is at least five patients per day. Third molar extractions, root canals, and existing orthodontics are referred out; other extractions may also be referred out.
