Remote Dentist for residents of California – Join Our Telehealth Dental Care Team!

Are you a licensed dentist eager to deliver high‑quality, patient‑focused care from the comfort of your own home? Our fast‑growing tele‑dental practice is seeking a dedicated professional to provide virtual consultations, preventive services, and comprehensive treatment planning for patients across California. This fully remote opportunity blends the flexibility of working from anywhere with the fulfillment of improving oral health outcomes in a digital healthcare environment.

About the Role

As a Remote Dentist, you will become the primary point of contact for patients seeking dental care through our secure, video‑based platform. You will review patient‑submitted case files, including intraoral photos, radiographs, and medical histories, to formulate accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. Your responsibilities include prescribing appropriate therapies, coordinating with our network of local labs and specialists, and delivering thorough patient education to ensure adherence to recommended care. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of dental hygienists, orthodontists, and practice managers, you will help maintain high standards of clinical excellence while enjoying the autonomy of a home‑based practice.

The role emphasizes continuous quality improvement through peer reviews, case discussions, and participation in professional development webinars. You will also contribute to the evolution of our telehealth protocols, providing feedback that shapes best practices for virtual dental delivery across the state.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive virtual dental examinations using high‑definition video, digital imaging, and patient‑provided records to diagnose conditions and assess treatment needs.
• Develop detailed, patient‑friendly treatment plans that outline procedures, costs, financing options, and expected outcomes, ensuring clarity and informed consent.
• Prescribe medications, dental appliances, and follow‑up care instructions while monitoring patient progress through scheduled virtual check‑ins.
• Maintain accurate, secure electronic health records (EHR) in compliance with HIPAA regulations and state dental board requirements.
• Participate in weekly team meetings to discuss complex cases, share clinical insights, and collaborate on interdisciplinary care strategies.
• Engage in ongoing quality assurance activities, including case audits, patient satisfaction surveys, and continuous education credits.

Salary Range

Our compensation package is designed to recognize both clinical expertise and patient volume. You can expect a base salary of $120,000 – $180,000 USD per year, complemented by performance‑based bonuses, a revenue‑sharing model that can add 5‑10 % to your earnings, and an annual professional development stipend. Additionally, we provide a one‑time home office setup allowance and a wellness allowance for continued learning and certifications.

Requirements

Education & Licensing

Candidates must hold a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from an accredited U.S. or internationally recognized institution. A current, unrestricted license to practice dentistry in California is mandatory, along with active membership in the California Dental Association. Board certification or eligibility for board certification is strongly preferred.

Experience

Ideal applicants possess a minimum of five years of clinical experience in general dentistry, with a solid background in preventive care, restorative procedures, and patient management.

A proven track record of delivering high patient satisfaction scores and maintaining meticulous clinical documentation is essential.

Technical Skills

Proficiency with leading electronic health record (EHR) systems—such as Eaglesoft, Dentrix, or Cloud-based solutions—is required. Excellent command of secure video conferencing tools (Zoom, Doxy, etc.) and secure messaging platforms is necessary for effective virtual care. Strong written and verbal communication skills, cultural competency, and the ability to educate diverse patient populations remotely are critical.

Certifications & Additional Credentials

Current CPR/BLS certification, DEA registration (if prescribing controlled substances), and any specialty certifications relevant to your practice area should be up to date. Membership in professional organizations like ADA or CDA further demonstrates commitment to the field.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with employer matching, and generous paid time off (15 vacation days plus holidays). Our tele‑dental environment provides flexible scheduling, allowing you to set your own hours and achieve an optimal work‑life balance.
