Premier Dental of Oakwood is a privately owned local practice, led by a dentist-owner, with the efficiency and financial backing of a supportive group behind it. It’s the best of both: the autonomy, relationships, and culture of private practice, paired with the systems, mentorship, and stability of an established group that handles the business side, so your focus stays on dentistry and your patients.
We are looking for an Associate Dentist who wants to build something long-term, with a genuine path from associate or partner to owner.
Step into an established, full schedule from day one. The practice collects about $1 million+ a year and welcomes about 38 new patients a month, so your chair fills fast, no building from scratch. You’ll practice comprehensive general dentistry with a full schedule of it from day one.
And if you’ve got more, there’s room. Molar endo, third molars, implants, and oral surgery are all referred out today. If you have those skills, or want to build them, you can bring that work in-house and earn at the higher specialty rate from your first week, with the CE and mentorship to grow.
We invest in your growth:
The office is modern and fully digital: iTero and 3Shape intraoral scanners for crowns and Invisalign, digital and panoramic X-rays, handheld Nomad, 10x zoom intraoral cameras with a TV in every operatory, Dentrix Ascend cloud software, and an Implant Direct system for in-office placement and restoration.
This is a true partnership with a local, privately owned practice, strengthened by the support of a group. Mentorship is structured and led by experienced doctors across the group, with hands-on support for the procedures you want to add. For the right dentist, there’s a clear path to a profit interest and partnership, or to full ownership when you’re ready, one that doctors in the group have already walked. The specifics are shared with candidates during the process.
The ideal candidate is a licensed general dentist (or eligible for licensure in Ohio). New graduates and experienced dentists are both welcome. You’ll thrive here if you are:
Experience with implants, endo, or oral surgery is a plus and not a requirement.
