Part-Time Associate Dentist - Tranquility Onsite Dental - Santa Clara, CA

Flexible, Meaningful, Mission Driven Opportunity Tranquility Onsite Dental is seeking a part time General Dentist to provide onsite dental care to residents of senior living communities throughout the South Bay and Peninsula. This is a unique opportunity for a dentist who wants meaningful clinical work, flexibility, and the chance to make a real difference for older adults who often have limited access to dental care. We are seeking one part time dentist based out of our Santa Clara office. The schedule is typically 1 to 2 days per week, Monday through Thursday, with the opportunity to establish consistent working days. About Tranquility Onsite Dental Tranquility Onsite Dental provides onsite dental care to residents in assisted living, memory care, and senior living communities. Our patients include older adults with dementia, medical complexity, mobility limitations, and difficulty accessing traditional dental offices. Our mission is simple: to bring compassionate, high quality dental care directly to the seniors who need it most. This work is deeply rewarding because our doctors are able to serve patients who may otherwise go without care. About the Role As a Tranquility dentist, you will visit senior living communities and provide care onsite using portable dental equipment. A typical day may include approximately 7-10 patients, depending on the community, patient needs, and visit type. Our doctors work independently onsite, with virtual administrative support available. Our virtual assistants help with charting and notes so you can focus more fully on patient care. This role is best suited for a dentist who enjoys caring for older adults and can remain compassionate and adaptable in a senior living environment. Some patients may have dementia, may be unable to cooperate fully, or may need extra time and patience. The right doctor understands that success does not always mean completing ideal care. Sometimes success means protecting the patient’s dignity, documenting clearly, communicating well, and making a thoughtful plan for the next step.

You will provide care to patients who are often overlooked, underserved, and unable to access dentistry in a traditional way. The work requires emotional steadiness, flexibility, and compassion.

If you are a dentist who values meaningful care, patient dignity, and mission driven work, we would love to hear from you.
