About Our Practice

enlightenDENTAL is not your typical dental office. We are a biological, patient-centered practice in New Orleans, LA committed to whole-body wellness. We combine advanced technology with a deep respect for natural, minimally invasive approaches to dentistry. Our treatments are guided by science, holistic philosophy, and compassion-focusing on preserving teeth, restoring health, and empowering patients to take control of their oral and systemic health.

We are a close-knit, growth-focused team that values collaboration, continuing education, and creating a calm, supportive environment for both patients and staff. Every team member plays a role in delivering exceptional care, building trust, and maintaining the integrity of our unique mission.

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Associate Dentist who aligns with holistic and biological dental principles. The right candidate will:
• Deliver exceptional patient care while upholding our biological protocols (safe mercury removal, airway-focused dentistry, biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques).
• Communicate with empathy and clarity, ensuring patients understand their treatment options and feel fully supported in their health journey.
• Collaborate closely with the entire team in a high-engagement environment that includes regular team meetings, training, and patient education initiatives.

This is an opportunity to practice dentistry in a way that honors the body’s natural healing abilities and builds deep, long-term patient relationships.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Care
• Perform comprehensive examinations with an integrative health focus, considering systemic health, airway, nutrition, and oral function.
• Provide restorative, surgical, and preventive care using biocompatible materials and techniques.
• Support safe amalgam removal following SMART protocols.
• Use advanced technology (CBCT, ozone, PRF, laser, etc.) for diagnosis and treatment.
• Preserve teeth whenever possible, offering alternatives to extractions and root canals when clinically appropriate.

Patient Communication
• Explain treatment options in clear, non-technical language and with visual aids when possible.
• Build rapport by reading patient cues (verbal and nonverbal) and adjusting approach accordingly.
• Ensure patients leave each visit feeling informed, cared for, and respected.

Team Collaboration
• Work closely with assistants, hygienists, and administrative team members to deliver seamless care.
• Participate in weekly, monthly and quarterly team meetings, CE workshops, and case reviews.
• Contribute to our educational outreach and patient experience initiatives.
