About the Position

We are seeking a full-time General Dentist to join our growing team due to expansion and a current provider transitioning out.

Our practice operates in two locations:

• One office in St. James, MO, offering 5 modern operatories in a well-established community practice.

• One office in Bourbon, MO, with 4 operatories and a loyal patient base.

Both practices utilize expanded function dental assistants to maximize efficiency and patient care.

Practice Highlights:

• Heavily Medicaid-based practice with strong patient demand.

• Both locations are contracted with a local FQHC, significantly increasing reimbursement rates.

• Strong pediatric and adolescent population; with Missouri’s adult Medicaid expansion, we are seeing a rapidly growing adult patient base.

• Current dentists provide restorative treatment under general anesthesia for children, but this is not required for the new dentist (training available if interested).

• Dentists perform their own prophys and adult checkups.

• New graduates are welcome to apply—excellent mentorship is available, especially with pediatric cases.

Schedule:

• St. James Office: Mon, Tue, Thu 8–5; Wed 7–3; Fri 8–2

• Bourbon Office: Tue, Thu 8–5; Wed 7–3

• Flexible scheduling available. Ideally, the new dentist will have one “home base” office but be able to cover both locations as needed.

Team Structure:

• Work alongside 1 full-time and 2 part-time Dentists

• Supported by 12 assistants and administrative staff

• Actively recruiting 1 Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH)

Clinical Focus:

• Bread-and-butter general dentistry with a strong emphasis on pediatrics

• Typical cases: restorations, crowns, pediatric pulpotomies/crowns, extractions, root canal therapy, etc.

• Must be comfortable treating children (majority of patients are pediatric) – training/mentorship available for new grads.

• Patient flow: ~25–40 patients/day (adjustable based on provider’s comfort and pace)

• Average of 50–60 new patients/month (many emergency visits convert to long-term patients)

About Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation: 30–33% of collections or a daily minimum (whichever is greater), based on experience.

• Earnings potential is outstanding:

  • A new graduate who started in July earned $290K in their first full year.

  • Motivated dentists can easily achieve $400K+ annually.

• Loan Repayment:

  • The St. James location qualifies for HRSA loan repayment.

  • The Bourbon location is currently in the certification process.

• Benefits: Available at cost to the provider.
