Ottawa, ON | Full-Time or Part-Time | Flexible Schedule

Senior Mobile Dental Services is seeking a Licensed General Dentist (DDS/DMD) to provide professional, on-site dental care to seniors living in retirement residences and long-term care communities throughout Ottawa and surrounding areas.

• Earning opportunity starting at approximately $240,000 annually for full-time positions, depending on schedule and compensation structure
