About the Practice
Dr. Buzza's thriving general dentistry practice has served Northern California since 1986. Known for his commitment to high-quality care and a warm, welcoming environment, the practice has grown steadily, primarily through its well-established IV sedation offerings. The practice generates daily production of $20,000 to $25,000, supported by an excellent team of 13, including three hygienists, four dental assistants, and five experienced administrative team members. This is a high-performing, upbeat office where patients feel at home— the team is dedicated to creating a positive, friendly atmosphere for everyone who walks through the door.

Dr. Buzza has built his practice on compassion, diagnostics, and delivering transformative care, which has led to him developing a reputation for handling complex cases for patients who are highly anxious or simply want their cases to be completed all at once. This position has the option for the associate to transition to ownership within two years, allowing Dr. Buzza to step back gradually while continuing his passion for mentorship.

Who We’re Looking For
We're seeking an experienced, dedicated general dentist with the following qualities:

• Top Characteristics: Genuine integrity, excellent communication skills, team-focused, responsible, flexible, and a lifelong learner with humble confidence.
• IV Sedation: This is an IV sedation Practice. We are looking for a dentist who is experienced in or willing to learn IV sedation dentistry.
• Clinical Skills: Strong diagnosis and treatment planning, patient education (without fear-driven tactics), precision in crown preparation, and efficiency. Experience or interest in Invisalign is a plus, as this area has significant growth potential.
• Vision Aligned: Someone committed to growing with the practice and implementing its patient-centered values. Your approach should foster trust, compassion, and clinical excellence.

Technology and Tools
Our state-of-the-art facility includes Sirona CBCT, Sirona Digital Intraoral Radiography, intraoral cameras, an iTero Scanner, CO2 Laser, and air abrasion in each treatment room.

Practice Culture
Our team is proactive, solution-oriented, and very stable. We strive to maintain an inviting, friendly, supportive, and high-performing ambiance. The ideal associate will enhance this culture, valuing quality patient care and teamwork. Our team has a unique method of treatment that maximizes efficiency and earning potential. We trust each other to work hard until the job is done and perform professionally.

Why This Practice?
This opportunity is ideal for someone with a long-term vision for themselves that involves eventual ownership. If a candidate is ready, this transition could start as soon as two years. With direct, shoulder-to-shoulder mentorship from Dr. Buzza, a highly skilled Kois-trained dentist, this role promises high-income potential and a genuine career partnership in a welcoming and dynamic environment.
