General Dentist

Company Overview Grace Clinic of Yadkin Valley is a free medical clinic dedicated to providing essential healthcare services to adults aged 18 years and older who lack insurance and have limited income.

This is a part-time position with Fridays and weekends off, giving you the freedom to enjoy your life while making a real impact Monday through Thursday.

You'll work alongside a small, supportive team that believes in whole-person care and sees dentistry as a vital part of overall health. This isn't high-pressure corporate dentistry. It's thoughtful, relationship-based care where you can listen, and help people who truly appreciate you.

Apply aseptic techniques and infection control protocols to ensure patient safety during all procedures. Collaborate with team members on complex cases involving oral surgery.

Experience Proven experience in general dentistry with a focus on patient care and clinical procedures. Familiarity with dental office management software.
