About The Position

Gentle Dental is seeking a full-time General Dentist to join our established West Salem practice in Salem, Oregon. This is a unique opportunity to practice in a predominantly fee-for-service environment, allowing you to focus on comprehensive, patient-centered care while enjoying greater clinical autonomy and stronger patient relationships.

At Gentle Dental, we believe exceptional patient care begins with supporting our doctors and clinical teams. Our group practice model provides the resources, operational support, and collaborative environment needed to help dentists thrive while maintaining clinical independence.
