Working Here At Bear Creek Family Dental, we’ve built something
special—this isn’t just a job, it’s a long-term opportunity to
grow, lead, and thrive. Founded in 2018 by Dr. Kyle Shull, our
practice in North Columbia, MO has grown steadily thanks to a loyal
patient base, a reputation for integrity, and a team that genuinely
enjoys working together. We’re known in the community for going the
extra mile—for patients and for each other—and we’re proud of that.
As an associate, you won’t be thrown into the deep end or left to
figure things out alone. You’ll receive mentorship with one-on-one
check-ins, case reviews, and chairside coaching when needed. Dr.
Shull is invested in your success. As you grow in experience or
come in as a seasoned dentist, your collaboration with Dr. Shull
and the entire team will be expected and valued. You’ll have the
tools to grow quickly, with access to high-level tech (CBCT, CEREC,
3D printing, in-house milling, and more), a strong new patient flow
(70 per month), and a diverse patient base that spans from
blue-collar families to white-collar professionals. We’re
intentional about treating every patient with empathy and dignity,
and we value your ability to communicate clearly and
compassionately. Even better? We’re preparing for growth. A
brand-new, ground-up facility is in the works, set to open
tentatively in 2028 with 11 ops and even more space for expanded
services. If you’re business-minded, there’s a clear and genuine
path to partnership after a couple of years. This opportunity is
ideal for someone who is humble, eager to learn, and enjoys working
closely with others. If you prefer to go it alone, shy away from
mentorship or collaboration, or are driven by numbers, this might
not be the right fit. But if you’re looking for a place where you
can belong, grow, and make a real difference, you just found it.
What We Value Integrity: We stand behind our word, even when it is
not the most profitable. If we make a promise to a patient or
teammate, we follow through—no excuses. Doing the right thing isn’t
a strategy here; it’s a standard. Our team knows that trust is
earned, and we work every day to protect it. Empathy: We care
deeply about the human side of dentistry. Our patients come from
all walks of life, and we treat every single one with kindness,
patience, and respect. We take time to listen, understand concerns,
and make sure people feel heard. Team First: No one here says,
“That’s not my job.” Whether you’re sterilizing instruments,
jumping in on a challenging procedure, or helping a teammate stay
on schedule, everyone pitches in. We believe in mutual support, not
ego. Great teams succeed because they care about each other—and we
live that every day. Accountability: When something goes wrong, we
don’t point fingers—we take ownership. That mindset applies to
clinical results, patient experiences, and team dynamics. We look
for solutions, not excuses, and constantly ask, “How can I
improve?” Growth starts with responsibility, and that’s something
we model from the top down. Humility & Coachability: We’re proud to
work with people who want to get better, not prove they already
know it all. That means being open to feedback, eager to learn, and
respectful of everyone’s expertise—regardless of job title. What
You’ll Do Deliver high-quality general dentistry Collaborate with a
tight-knit clinical and front office team to provide efficient,
same-day care when possible Educate patients on treatment plans
with empathy and clarity Build trust with families and patients of
all backgrounds Embrace ongoing learning and mentorship with weekly
clinical check-ins and case reviews Compensation & Benefits Daily
Guarantee Collections-Based Pay (31% - 35%) 401(k) - After 1 year
In-Office Health Plan CE Allowance Partnership Track Why This Job
Stands Out Mentorship: You won’t be left to figure things out
alone. Dr. Shull will set aside time for weekly one-on-one
mentorship and collaboration, case reviews, and clinical coaching.
He’s proactive in helping you grow. Whether you’re a new grad or a
few years in, this is the kind of guidance that accelerates
confidence and skill. Modern Tech Steady Flow: You’ll have access
to high-end equipment, including CBCT, CEREC, PrimeMill, 3D
printing, and more. We’re not just tech-forward—we’re
tech-intentional, investing in tools that support efficient,
high-quality care. With over 70 new patients per month and a loyal
base of 3,500, you’ll stay busy and challenged. It’s a great
environment to sharpen your skills and deliver care you’re proud
of. Supportive, Low-Drama Culture: Our team operates with kindness,
mutual respect, and a can-do attitude. Everyone from the front to
the back jumps in to help each other without being asked. We value
humility and don’t tolerate egos, gossip, or blame. You’ll feel it
the moment you walk in—this is a team that has your back. Path to
Partnership: For associates who want to grow into leadership, this
practice offers partnership potential after two years. Dr. Shull is
transparent about expectations and open about the business side of
dentistry. You won’t be strung along or kept in the dark—if
partnership is your goal, we’ll help you get there. Columbia, MO
