Job description
About the Position
A full-time General Dentist position is available at a well-established Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in northeast Missouri. This location is known for delivering comprehensive and compassionate care to a largely underserved population, with a strong focus on pediatric dentistry.
Dentists here practice traditional "bread and butter" dentistry in a modern, well-equipped facility featuring 19 operatories, a mobile dental unit, and a collaborative team of professionals that includes three other general dentists, three registered dental hygienists, and eleven dental assistants.
Schedule : Monday through Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:45 PM, with a one-hour lunch. Dentists also receive half a day of administrative time weekly—or can opt for a full day every other week.
Patient Demographics : A significant portion of the patient base consists of children. Dentists operating at full capacity typically see 15–20 patients per day, including routine hygiene exams.
This role offers a meaningful opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals who might otherwise lack access to consistent oral healthcare.
About the Compensation & Benefits
Base Salary : Starts at approximately $180,000 for newly licensed dentists.
Incentives : Performance-based bonuses ranging from $15,000 to $25,000, tied to clinical productivity.
Benefits : Full benefits package provided, including health, dental, vision, retirement contributions, paid time off, and continuing education support.
