We currently sell and distribute more than 30,000 unique products to 3,000 dental offices in Canada and the U.S. We’re on the cusp of something big.

With roots in the dental wholesale and distribution industry Frontier Dental Supply, Inc., was formed in 2016. We are headquartered in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

About the Role This is not a traditional PR role — and it’s not a brand exercise.

Frontier Dental is hiring its first-ever Director of PR & Thought Leadership to build credibility as a growth engine. This role owns how trust is created, distributed, and converted — at the exact moment dentists are making decisions.

You’ll build the function from the ground up, partner closely with executive leadership and performance marketing, and turn earned authority into measurable business impact.

This is a game-changing role for the company — and a defining opportunity for the right leader.
