Pediatric Dentist needed in Tuscaloosa AL

Pediatric Dentist Opportunity – Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Join a Growing, Patient-Focused Pediatric Dental Group

We’re seeking a compassionate and skilled Pediatric Dentist to join our dynamic and expanding team in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This is a unique opportunity to work across two thriving pediatric dental practices—one well-established and another currently being acquired. Each offers distinct patient populations and practice styles, allowing for a diverse clinical experience and the flexibility to shape your role based on your strengths and interests.

About the Role

This is not your typical “bread-and-butter” pediatric dentistry position. You’ll split your time between two complementary practice environments:

• Practice A: Serves a primarily Medicaid patient base with a focus on high-volume, same-day dentistry and urgent pediatric care. Ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

• Practice B: Caters to privately insured patients with a more traditional schedule and treatment model, offering a slower-paced, comprehensive care approach.

We’re looking for a motivated provider who’s ready to contribute immediately. There is strong patient demand at both locations, and we’re committed to finding a candidate whose clinical skills, values, and long-term goals align with ours.

Why Join Us?

• Make a real impact in the lives of children across diverse communities

• Enjoy true clinical autonomy supported by experienced staff and leadership

• Flexibility to tailor your schedule and patient mix to suit your preferences

• Competitive and negotiable compensation structure

• Collaborative, mission-driven culture that values both care quality and team dynamics

Qualifications

• DMD or DDS from an accredited dental school

• Completion of a Pediatric Dentistry residency

• Active Alabama dental license (or eligibility to obtain one)

• Passion for pediatric care and a strong commitment to serving underserved populations

• Openness to honest discussions about clinical philosophy and long-term career aspirations

Why Tuscaloosa?

Nestled along the Black Warrior River, Tuscaloosa blends small-town hospitality with the energy of a college town. Home to the University of Alabama, the city offers a vibrant mix of culture, sports, dining, and music. With an affordable cost of living, great schools, and easy access to outdoor recreation, it’s a great place to build a career—and a life.

Compensation & Benefits

We offer flexible compensation models to fit your needs. Options include:

• A guaranteed daily rate

• Collection-based compensation

• Customized agreements based on your goals and which practice(s) you work in

We’re happy to discuss the best structure for both you and the practice. Whether you're a better fit for one location or interested in working across both, we’ll work together to create a plan that aligns with your preferences.
