Why You’ll Love Working Here

Boss Dental is a long-standing, highly respected private practice that has served the Corpus Christi community for over 40 years. The practice is led by Dr. Jason Packard, in partnership with Dr. Boss, and is built on a simple yet powerful philosophy: do what’s right for patients, every time. There is no pressure, and no corporate influence—just honest, conservative dentistry rooted in integrity and long-term trust. This is a place where quality work and sound judgment are valued more than volume.

You’ll be joining a fully staffed, experienced team that takes pride in doing things right. Assistants, hygienists, and front office staff are highly competent, autonomous, and aligned with the practice’s values. Systems are dialed in, patient flow is consistent, and new patients come almost entirely from word-of-mouth referrals. The result is a predictable, efficient schedule that allows you to focus on patient care without chaos or micromanagement.

Mentorship here is real and intentional. Dr. Packard is hands-on when it matters and hands-off when it isn’t essential. He’s deeply invested in helping the right associate grow clinically—especially in treatment planning, case decision-making, and expanding skills over time. The mentorship style mirrors how he was trained himself: collaborative case discussions, thoughtful feedback, and autonomy paired with support. The practice is also highly technology-forward, with CBCT, scanners, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, lasers, and AI-supported clinical notes to support efficiency and quality.

This is a stable, profitable practice with overhead under 50%, no debt-driven pressure, and a clear long-term vision. The associate will step into an existing patient base and play a meaningful role during a planned partnership transition as Dr. Boss phases out. For the right dentist, there is a genuine opportunity to grow into a deeper, long-term role over time—without rushed promises or artificial timelines. This opportunity is an excellent fit for a dentist who values ethical, conservative care, takes pride in doing things right, and wants to build trust with patients over time. It is not a fit for dentists who prefer aggressive treatment planning, high-pressure production environments, or practices where selling dentistry is the norm.

Located in Corpus Christi, you’ll enjoy a coastal lifestyle that’s hard to find in most parts of Texas. The area offers easy access to the beach, year-round warm weather, and plenty of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, and water sports. Cost of living is significantly lower than in most major metro areas, making home ownership and financial freedom far more attainable. Commutes are short, traffic is minimal, and life moves at a more sustainable pace. It’s a great fit for someone who wants space to breathe, time outside of work, and a community-oriented lifestyle without sacrificing professional opportunity.

What We Value

• Integrity – We believe dentistry should never be sold. Patients are educated on their options, the pros and cons, and the long-term implications so they can make informed decisions without pressure. Trust is earned over time, and we protect it fiercely.
  
  
• Doing Things Right – Quality comes first, always. We value dentistry done correctly the first time, with thoughtful planning, sound judgment, and attention to detail. Shortcuts, rushed work, and frequent re-dos are not part of our standard.
  
  
• Ownership & Initiative – Our team members take full responsibility for their work, their patients, and their outcomes. Associates are trusted with autonomy and expected to manage their schedules and cases with pride. This is a practice for self-directed professionals, not people who need micromanagement.
  
  
• Team Respect – We operate as a true team, where assistants, hygienists, and doctors work collaboratively and respectfully. Ego, hierarchy battles, and drama don’t last here. Clear communication and mutual respect are non-negotiable.
  
  
• Calm, Professional Leadership – We value steady, thoughtful decision-making over reactive behavior. Challenges are handled with composure and logic, not emotion. A calm presence helps protect the culture, the team, and the patient experience.

What You’ll Do

• Provide high-quality restorative dentistry
  
  
• Take ownership of an established patient base and manage cases from diagnosis through completion
  
  
• Communicate treatment options clearly and conservatively, without overselling or pressure
  
  
• Work closely with a skilled, supportive clinical team in a highly organized practice
  
  
• Grow clinically through mentorship and expanded procedures as desired

Compensation & Benefits

• 34% of adjusted production
• Daily guarantee of $850/day for 6 months
• 401(k): Safe Harbor
• Dental Care
• Malpractice coverage
• Partnership Opportunity

Why This Job Stands Out

• Immediate Patient Flow – You’ll step into an existing patient base rather than building from scratch. Your schedule will be meaningful and clinically engaging from the start. This allows you to focus on dentistry instead of marketing yourself internally.
  
  
• True Clinical Autonomy – You are trusted to practice within your competencies without constant oversight. There is no restriction on procedures you’re capable of performing. Growth is encouraged, not limited.
  
  
• Mentorship That Respects You – Support is available without micromanagement. Case discussions are thoughtful and collaborative, not ego-driven. You’ll be guided without being controlled.
  
  
• Ethical, Stable Practice – With no overselling, no corporate pressure, and overhead under 50%, this practice operates from a position of strength. Decisions are made thoughtfully, not reactively. Stability here is real.
  
  
• Long-Term Opportunity – This role is designed for someone who wants more than a short stop. The practice is navigating a planned partnership transition with intention and care. For the right person, there is a future here.

Who We’re Looking For
