At Tend, we do dentistry differently — without compromising on excellence or ambition. As a Managing Clinical Director, you'll do what you love most: deliver exceptional clinical care. But you'll also do something more — you'll shape the clinical culture, performance, and people across an entire market of Tend studios.
This is a producing role. You'll carry an active schedule and hold a high clinical bar while simultaneously developing Lead Dentists and Associates, partnering with market operations leadership, and driving consistency across locations. It's the right role for a dentist who's equally energized by complex cases and by watching the clinicians around them get better.
You'll report to Chief Dental Officer, Dr. Chris Salierno, and work across 4 studios in the Boston market, with a hybrid presence across locations based on business need.
Compensation & Earning Potential
Our compensation model is designed to reward high-quality clinical care, comprehensive treatment, and strong production—while providing consistency and transparency.
All dentists receive a guaranteed daily rate and earn a tiered percentage of adjusted production, with:
Market Lead Dentists: 32-40% of adjusted production, reflecting expanded clinical leadership, market oversight, and performance impact. Market Lead Dentists are eligible for a monthly market performance bonus tied to clinical quality, provider development, and studio KPIs across their full market portfolio.
What You’ll Do
Clinical Excellence & Scope of PracticeÂ
Deliver a full spectrum of high-quality clinical services—including restorative care such as inlays/onlays, crowns, veneers, endodontics, extractions, implants, and cosmetic dentistry—within Tend’s modern, digitally enabled studio environment
Treat a dynamic mix of cases that go beyond basic dentistry, with opportunities to perform comprehensive, esthetic, and function-driven care
Lead comprehensive exams that diagnose the whole person — every member leaves aware of their dental conditions and potential solutions in a way that is clear, confident, and efficient
Develop thoughtful, member-centered treatment plans grounded in legitimate clinical findings and honest risk assessment, driving both oral health outcomes and case acceptance
Diagnose and treat TMJ-related conditions, including the delivery of therapeutic Botox as part of a comprehensive care approach
Be a Profession Leader in Clear Aligner and Sleep TherapyÂ
Identify and address malocclusion, occlusal wear, fracture lines, and sleep-disordered breathing early — using our tested frameworks, not scripts, to educate members compassionately and help them avoid more invasive, costly outcomes down the road
Drive adoption and growth of clear aligner treatment, from diagnosis through case planning, bonding, and follow-up care
Evaluate and treat members for sleep-disordered breathing, incorporating sleep medicine solutions into treatment planning where appropriate
Build proficiency in aligner case selection, staging, and execution, contributing to a high-performing aligner program
Partner with clinical leadership to expand advanced treatment offerings and continuously elevate clinical scope
Productivity, Flow & Patient ExperienceÂ
Manage a dynamic, productive schedule—balancing operative procedures, hygiene checks, aligner starts, and same-day treatment opportunities
Be schedule obsessed by partnering with studio teams to build efficient and productive shifts—reviewing schedules in advance, strategizing in daily huddles, and offering same-day care when possible
Drive production through proactive diagnosis, completion of full treatment plans, and efficient use of chair time—without compromising quality of care
Deliver a hospitality-driven member experience grounded in the Three C’s — Personalized Care, Empowering Communication, and Human Compassion — bridging the knowledge gap so members understand not just what, but why
Hold the line on our Priority Framework: safety first, then outstanding member experience, then efficiency — never trading one for another
Team Collaboration & Studio PerformanceÂ
Partner closely with dental assistants, hygienists, and studio leadership to deliver coordinated, high-quality care
Collaborate across disciplines to ensure alignment in treatment planning, execution, and patient experience
Engage in ongoing clinical development, including calibration, CE, and peer learning to expand scope and skillset
Clinical Leadership & Market Ownership
Serve as the senior clinical leader across your market, setting the standard for diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient experience at every studio
Own clinical outcomes across locations — track re-dos, escalations, and quality metrics by studio and implement targeted improvement plans
Partner with market operations leadership to align clinical strategy with studio performance goals, scheduling efficiency, and patient access
Lead market-level calibration sessions, clinical forums, and peer learning to build consistency and elevate the clinical floor
Represent Tend clinically in market-level conversations with key partners, community providers, or referral relationships
Provider Development & Team Performance
Develop and mentor Lead Dentists across your market, coaching them on clinical judgment, studio ownership, and team leadership
Support the growth of Associate Dentists through structured feedback, onboarding oversight, and ongoing clinical development
Partner with the People Team and clinical leadership on provider hiring, onboarding, and performance management within your market
Identify and close skill gaps at the provider level through observation, calibration, and individualized development planning
Help build a pipeline of strong Lead Dentists ready to grow into expanded roles within Tend
