Practice dentistry with people who have your back.

Smile So Big Dental is a culture-first dental group in Jacksonville and St. Augustine. We run on thirty fundamentals that shape how we care for patients — and how we treat each other. Whether you're an associate looking for a team worth staying with, or an owner thinking about what comes next for the practice you built, there's a seat for you here.

Our mission
Two ways to join us

Where do you see yourself?

We grow in two ways: by welcoming great dentists onto our team, and by partnering with owners who want their life's work carried forward the right way.

For associate dentists

Build a career, not just a schedule.

You went to dental school to take care of people — not to fight with a schedule, chase down supplies, or wonder whether the team behind you is set up to succeed. We handle the business so you can do the dentistry.

  • Compensation that rises with your tenure — and never resets
  • Health insurance and real benefits
  • A path to ownership after year three, when it's the right fit for both sides
  • Clinical standards set by a dentist, not a spreadsheet
  • Clinical autonomy — you set the treatment plan
  • A culture people build long careers in

For practice owners

Your life's work deserves a good home.

Selling your practice isn't only a financial decision. It's about the patients who trusted you for decades and the team who built it with you. We take that seriously, and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.

  • Your patients keep getting the care you promised them
  • Your team lands somewhere they'll actually want to stay
  • Clinical decisions stay clinical — no quotas from corporate
  • Ask the doctors who've already sold to us — we'll connect you
  • A confidential, unhurried conversation to start

The Smile So Big Way

Five values, one team.

These aren't words on a wall. They show up in how we greet a nervous patient, how we own a scheduling mix-up, and how we explain a treatment plan.

Smile So Big

We radiate positivity and fun, creating a workplace that uplifts both team and patient experiences. Every interaction reflects our commitment to care delivered with optimism and energy.

Elevate the Journey

We commit to growth, fostering continuous learning and innovation. Through collaboration and ambition, every effort contributes to personal development and exceptional care.

Radical Ownership

We take responsibility with humility and confidence. Mistakes are inevitable, so we use them as opportunities to learn, teach, and strengthen how we support our patients and each other.

Proud of Our Process

We take pride in structured, evolving systems that deliver consistency and quality — so excellence is predictable rather than accidental.

Clarity Builds Trust

We communicate clearly, kindly, and confidently, sharing the right information with the right people at the right time. We welcome difficult conversations and handle them with empathy.

Who you'd be working with

Clinicians lead the clinical decisions.

We're a small enough group that you'll actually know the people running it — and clinical judgment stays with the clinicians.

Brandon Nappy, MBA

Chief Executive Officer

Brandon runs the business side — operations, growth, and the systems that let our practices work well. He isn't a dentist, and that's the point: clinical calls belong to the people trained to make them.

Dr. Jonathan Montoya, DDS, MBA

Chief Dental Officer

Dr. Montoya sets the clinical standards for the group. Having a dentist lead the clinical side means the people shaping how we practice have actually done the work.
