Job Description
Providence Dental Clinic is seeking a Per Diem Dentist to join an established, community-based dental program in Santa Rosa, California. This role is ideal for an experienced dentist with a passion for serving pediatric and underserved populations in a mission-driven clinical setting. The clinic provides more than 8,000 patient visits annually, with care focused primarily on children ages 0 to 20, including an intentional emphasis on children ages 0 to 5, and patients with special needs and pregnant women. While the majority of care is pediatric, limited adult treatment is provided for emergency needs. The program supports access to dental care through a mobile dental initiative serving high-need sites throughout Sonoma County, including elementary schools. This dual clinic/mobile model allows providers to reach patients who may otherwise face significant barriers to care.
