Associate Dentist — Cortez Family Dentistry (Cortez, CO)
At Cortez Family Dentistry, we’re looking for an associate dentist who wants to work with a team, not under a system. We believe great dentistry is more than fixing teeth, it’s earning trust, improving health, and building confidence one appointment at a time.
We understand, not every dental job is designed for longevity. If you’ve seen roles that feel like production quotas in disguise, that’s not what we’re building here.
We’re welcoming a provider who wants a full-time role while practicing in one of Colorado’s most scenic, adventure-rich communities, near red rock landscapes, alpine peaks, world-class skiing, and room to breathe.
About the Practice
Dr. Eddy and our team are committed to high-quality, relationship-based care for Cortez and surrounding communities.
Here, you’re not “just an associate.” You’re a co-provider, a respected clinician, and a leader in the practice. We want you involved in the culture, not simply filling chair time.

- Comprehensive, patient-centered dentistry comes first
- Room to grow: Continuing education, and leadership opportunities

- 401(k) + match
- CE stipend
- Competitive compensation (based on experience and schedule)
- Predictable schedule so you can actually enjoy life outside the office

Location & Lifestyle
Cortez offers wide-open space, incredible access to desert and mountain adventure, and a strong community feel. If you want more of a classic mountain-town scene, Durango is 45 minutes away and great option if you’d prefer an upscale mountain town lifestyle with ample dining, shopping, and adventure.
You’ll be positioned in the middle of some of the best towns in the West. Telluride delivers iconic scenery and world-class ski days when you want a true Colorado reset, while Moab is your go-to for desert adventure slickrock, canyons, and national-park energy. And when it’s time to unplug, Lake Powell is an unbeatable escape for boating, paddleboarding, and sun-soaked days on the water.
The Big Picture
This role isn’t about burning out for numbers. It’s about doing meaningful work, serving real communities, and building a practice life you can sustain and enjoy.
