Associate Dentist

Springfield Smile Doctor is a boutique practice in Springfield, MO, where patients know their dentist by name, and dentists are invested in for the long haul. We're looking for an Associate Dentist who wants real mentorship, real autonomy, and a real path to ownership. Not just a job — a career worth building. You're our person if you: Have your DDS/DMD and an active (or in‑progress) Missouri license Are 0–3 years out — new grad, GPR‑trained, or escaping corporate dentistry Can hold your own in restorative and extractions (implants a plus, not a must) Are coachable, clinically confident, and genuinely care about patients Think like a future owner, not just an employee What you get: $10K signing bonus Hands‑on mentorship in TMD, sleep apnea therapy & advanced cosmetics Partnership track over 5–7 years 4‑day work week potential in one of the most affordable cities in the Midwest Why Springfield Smile Doctor? We're small enough that you'll actually know your patients, but busy enough to keep you challenged and well‑compensated. Our patients are loyal, our culture is collaborative, and our growth trajectory is strong. Dr. Randi Green is a hands‑on mentor who genuinely cares about developing the next generation of dentists. You won't be thrown in the deep end; you'll be taught, supported, and set up for success. Partnership Potential This isn't a dead‑end associate role. We're actively looking for someone who wants to build equity, take on ownership responsibility, and eventually become a partner in this practice. Springfield, Missouri Affordable cost of living, vibrant community, great quality of life. You can actually afford to live here (and live well) on a dentist's salary.
