Surgical Periodontist: 1 Day per Month
Oklahoma City Metro (Edmond), OK | Contract / 1099 | One Friday or Saturday per month
A well-run, owner-operated private general practice in the Oklahoma City metro is adding one dedicated surgical periodontal day each month. The owner wants a surgically focused Periodontist for implant placement, grafting and periodontal surgery. This is not a maintenance or SRP role.
This is a clean add-on day, not an associateship. The practice runs general dentistry on weekdays and saves one Friday or Saturday a month for you. You choose the day, and the owner will work with your calendar.
The work
- Dental implant placement (single-unit and multi-unit)
- Bone grafting, ridge preservation and augmentation
- Soft tissue grafting (connective tissue / gingival grafts)
- Sinus lifts
- Surgical extractions, including impacted third molars where appropriate
- Crown lengthening and other periodontal surgery that fits a one-day block
The general dentist pre-screens cases, so your day is booked in advance and full of surgery.
The practice
- Owner-operated private GP, not a DSO
- 5 operatories
- 1 general dentist plus 1 highly productive hygienist with assisted hygiene
- Oryx practice management software
- Vatech PaX-i3D Smart 3D imaging on site for implant and graft planning
- An established patient base with surgical demand the owner wants to keep in-house
How you can work (your choice)
- Turnkey / guest doctor: Bring your own assistant(s), equipment and supplies, and use the operatories and imaging.
- Practice-supported: The practice provides the assisting staff, room and supplies.
- Hybrid: You bring your own assistant, and the practice stocks disposables and implants.
Schedule
- One day per month to start, on a Friday or Saturday of your choice
- Room to add a second day if the book fills
- No evenings
What you need
- DDS or DMD
- Completed Periodontics residency
- An active surgical practice: implants, hard and soft tissue grafting, surgical extractions
- An unrestricted Oklahoma dental license, or willingness to get one before your first day
- Current DEA and Oklahoma CDS, plus a sedation permit if performing IV cases
- Malpractice coverage for implant and periodontal surgery (or the ability to add a rider for this location)
Nice to have
- Board certification (ABP)
- IV moderate/deep sedation (preferred)
- An existing presence in the OKC metro or the region
- Interest in a long-term visiting-specialist relationship
Compensation
$3,700–$5,700 per day. The structure is flexible and discussed with qualified candidates. Options include a daily guarantee, a collections split or a hybrid, depending on whether you staff and supply the day yourself.
