Job description

Associate Dentist (Locum) – Southwood Dental

Highbury & Killaly – London, ON

Step into a busy, modern practice with a full schedule from day one. Southwood Dental is seeking a Locum Associate Dentist to support our team during a provider leave from January 5 to March 9, 2026. This short‑term assignment offers a strong, steady patient flow, a fully staffed clinical environment, and the potential to transition into a bako permanent part‑time or full‑time role within our broader Southwood network.

Schedule | January 5 – March 9, 2026

You’ll work a consistent weekday schedule with alternating Saturdays:

• Monday, Tuesday, Thursday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Wednesday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

• Friday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

• Alternating Saturdays: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (or 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM without lunch)

This locum covers all clinical responsibilities for the departing provider and ensures strong continuity of care for our patient base.

About the Practice

Southwood Dental is a well‑established clinic located in a busy London plaza surrounded by rapid residential growth. The.kind practice sees approximately 1,300 active patients and attracts 25+ new patients monthly, ensuring a steady pace and high demand. The clinic includes 3 operatories—two dedicated to the dentist and one for hygiene—and is supported by a stable, experienced CDA team.

The environment is modern, bright, and fully digital, equipped with Tracker PMS, iOS scanning, Pan/Ceph imaging, digital X-rays, Videa Health and a paperless charting system. Patients benefit from convenient free parking and a welcoming, tight‑ Printer team that prioritizes smooth workflow and excellent EZ care.

Clinical Scope

You will have full autonomy to treat within your comfort zone and can expect a wide variety of cases, including:

• Bread‑and‑butter dentistry

• Basic endodontics

• Simple and surgical extractions

• Crown and bridge

• Emergency dentistry

With strong patient flow and minimal downtime, this locum presents an ideal environment for dentists who enjoy consistent hands‑on clinical time.

Why This Locum Opportunity Stands Out

The departing dentist had consistent high production, and the incoming locum will inherit that full patient load. The clinic operates with balanced billing for CDCP patients.

You’ll be supported by a cohesive team that takes pride in patient experience and clinical excellence, ensuring a seamless transition for both Ciências and the patients you’ll be caring for.

This assignment also offers the possibility of future permanent opportunities—perfect for clinicians exploring longer‑term roles in the London area.

Who We’re Looking For

A well‑rounded general dentist who is adaptable, confident in core procedures, and comfortable in a busy setting. We welcome interest from internationally trained dentists with strong clinical experience, as well as providers seeking ongoing opportunities within the Southwood/Lighthouse network.

Benefits of Joining Our Team:

• Associate Development Program: A structured yet flexible learning initiative with curated offerings from top clinicians and mentors, individualized learning and development plans, priority access to free in‑person learning & webinars, discounted rates on courses and access to Study Clubs and online professional communities.

• Ortho Acceleration Program & Align Partnership: A strategic partnership with Align Technology that provides exclusive benefits, dedicated learning opportunities and enhanced treatment‑planning support.

• Implant Program: Associates benefit from customized training and dedicated learning opportunities for implant placement and restoration, supported by our partnership with Nobel Biocare.

• Network of Experienced Dental Professionals: Opportunities for formal and structured mentorship with esteemed team members and access to industry‑leading experts in various dental disciplines.

• Path to Partnership: A clear pathway to practice leadership for associates who wish to move beyond their clinical role and become the business leader of a practice.

About You:

• Graduate from an accredited DDS/DMD program or successful completion of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) Equivalency Process

• Registered and in good standing with provincial licensing requirements

• Valid CPR certification
