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
