When Dr. Sara Makary started her career, she followed a path taken by many of her peers: a job in corporate dentistry. “I thought this is probably a good way to get introduced to dentistry, to patients, and have a safety net of providers around me,” she said. “As a fresh graduate, we walk into uncertain territory. When you get out of school, your security blanket gets stripped off very fast.”

Join this practice near the heart of a historic New Hampshire mill town just an hour north of Boston. They’re seeking a new associate to help maintain a tradition of excellent care, serving their community since 1951. Now treating a fourth generation of patients, many folks in their 80s and beyond have never been to another dentist, and their crowns and fillings are evidence of the team’s decades-long commitment to quality. The staff also features a lot of consistency, as some boast over twenty years with the practice.

This small-city family practice is known as the “friendliest office in town” – and it shows! Even with several larger clinics nearby, this practice draws patients from two counties who prefer the relational aspect of a private practice.

To this owner, dentistry is about “much more than fixing teeth” – rather, she and her long-term staff aim to have a meaningful impact on their patients’ lives. That’s why they’re committed to thorough, unhurried, personalized care.

Nestled right at the gateway to the Mount Washington Valley, this small-town solo practice offers a wonderful work-life balance – including a mountain view right from the office.
