Associate Dentist | $30,000 Incentive in Rochester, Minnesota at Clear Lakes Dental - Rochester

Let's be honest the dental industry has gotten a little ridiculous. Every job posting promises the “highest pay." Every practice claims to have the "best culture." Everyone advertises huge sign on bonuses. But once you look closer...The bonus isn't paid for years. The guaranteed salary disappears after six months. There are restrictive contracts that make it difficult to leave if the practice isn't what you expected. That's not how we do things.

Our Commitment to our Dentists

At Clear Lakes Dental, we believe trust starts before your first day.

A "$30,000 sign-on bonus" paid after three years isn't really a bonus.

Instead of making you wait years for money you've already earned, we'd rather pay you competitively from day one, AND pay out a large portion of your bonus on your first paycheck.

A guaranteed salary that actually stays guaranteed.

Many practices advertise a guaranteed salary...until it quietly disappears after six months. Not here. You'll receive a guaranteed base salary of $180,000 or 30% of collections, whichever is greater. Your guarantee doesn't vanish because your onboarding period is over.

As your patient base grows, your compensation should too. That's why your collections percentage increases 2% every year, up to 40% of collections. No renegotiating. No guessing. Just a compensation model designed to reward long term success.

Some practices reduce your compensation to offset CE expenses. We don't. Your $2,000 biannual CE allowance is provided in addition to your compensation, not instead of it.
