Orthodontist – $1,500/Day + $100 Per Start

Reno, Nevada | Travel 1–2 Days/Week or Relocate | Growing Orthodontic Program | Partial Relocation Assistance

Live in Northern California? You Don't Have to Move. Ready for Reno? We'll Help With the Relocation.

Are you an Orthodontist looking for immediate patient demand, a built-in pediatric referral network, and the flexibility to either travel into Reno 1–2 days per week or make Northern Nevada your long-term home?

Our confidential, 100% dentist-owned private dental group is seeking an Orthodontist to join a rapidly growing orthodontic program in Reno, Nevada.

We're intentionally keeping this opportunity flexible.

There are two ways to join us:

Option 1: Travel to Reno 1–2 Days Per Week

Maintain your existing home and professional base in Northern California or another nearby market while traveling to Reno for concentrated orthodontic clinical days.

Option 2: Relocate to Reno

Move to Northern Nevada, receive partial relocation assistance, and grow with the practice as we expand the orthodontic schedule toward approximately 4+ clinical days per week.

Either way, you'll step into an established dental organization with a growing pediatric referral engine, guaranteed daily compensation, incentives for new starts, and significant long-term runway.

Confirmed Compensation

$1,500 Per Clinical Day + $100 Per New Orthodontic Start

• $1,500 guaranteed per clinical day
• Plus $100 for every new orthodontic start
• 1099 Independent Contractor relationship
• Existing internal referral network
• Growing Pediatric Dentistry program
• General Dentistry referral support
• Significant opportunity to expand clinical days
• Partial relocation assistance available for candidates moving to Reno

You'll earn immediately while helping develop what leadership believes can become one of the strongest integrated pediatric and orthodontic programs in Northern Nevada.

Option 1: Keep Your Home Base — Travel to Reno

For Orthodontists based in Sacramento, Northern California, Lake Tahoe, or other nearby Western markets, this opportunity does not necessarily require relocation.

You can maintain your existing residence and professional commitments while traveling to Reno approximately:

1–2 Clinical Days Per Week

The practice will work to build and coordinate the schedule around your clinical availability so your time in Reno is productive.

This model is ideal for an Orthodontist who:

• Already practices elsewhere several days per week
• Wants to add another high-value clinical market
• Lives within reasonable travel distance of Reno
• Does not want to relocate immediately
• Wants to evaluate the Reno market before considering a future move
• Is looking for consistent supplemental specialty days

Rather than building another practice or referral network from scratch, you'll step into an established organization with patients, systems, treatment coordination, and internal referrals already in place.

Option 2: Relocate to Reno and Grow With Us

For an Orthodontist ready to make Northern Nevada home, this opportunity has considerably more long-term runway.

Partial Relocation Assistance Is Available

We're actively encouraging qualified Orthodontists from outside Nevada to explore relocating to Reno.

The long-term vision is to continue expanding the orthodontic program alongside the organization's growing pediatric patient base.

For a relocating Orthodontist, the opportunity may grow toward approximately:

4+ Clinical Days Per Week

as patient demand and the pediatric program continue to expand.

We're not simply recruiting someone to fill an existing schedule.

We're looking for the right doctor to help build the orthodontic platform for the region.

A Growing Orthodontic Program — Not a Static Part-Time Job

Our strategy is straightforward:

As Pediatric Dentistry grows, Orthodontics grows with it.

The organization is building an increasingly integrated pediatric and orthodontic model that creates a natural pipeline of:

• Orthodontic screenings
• Early orthodontic intervention
• Comprehensive orthodontic consultations
• New starts
• Sibling referrals
• Family referrals
• Long-term patient relationships

That patient flow is supplemented by the organization's General Dentistry network.

Instead of asking an Orthodontist to enter Reno and develop referral relationships one practice at a time, we're building the patient infrastructure around the specialty program internally.

Regional Growth Opportunities

In addition to the primary Reno program, there is opportunity to support additional locations as demand develops.

Potential regional opportunities include:

• Core Reno orthodontic schedule
• Approximately 2 satellite days per month in South Reno
• Potential future 1–2 days per month in the South Lake Tahoe market
• Additional specialty days as the pediatric and general dentistry networks continue to expand

For the right Orthodontist, there is substantial room to grow.

Built Around a Pediatric Referral Engine

One of the biggest advantages of this opportunity is the source of your future orthodontic patients.

The organization is actively expanding Pediatric Dentistry in Reno, creating an increasingly strong internal pipeline for orthodontic treatment.

You'll benefit from:

• Established pediatric patient relationships
• Internal orthodontic screenings
• Direct collaboration with Pediatric Dentists
• General Dentist referrals
• Treatment coordination support
• Existing patient communication systems
• Families already receiving care within the organization

The goal is simple:

Give the Orthodontist the patient base and infrastructure necessary to focus on diagnosis, treatment planning, case acceptance, and excellent clinical care.

100% Dentist-Owned. Dentist-Led.

Our organization is 100% dentist-owned.

That means:

• No private equity ownership
• No outside investors controlling clinical decisions
• Provider-focused leadership
• Clinical autonomy
• Collaborative decision-making
• Long-term commitment to patients and doctors
• An organization willing to invest in specialty growth

We want our Orthodontist to become an important part of the organization's long-term future.

Modern, Supported Clinical Environment

You'll step into an established dental platform with:

• Experienced clinical support
• Digital workflows
• Established scheduling systems
• Treatment coordination
• Pediatric Dentistry referrals
• General Dentistry referrals
• Administrative infrastructure
• Patient communication systems
• Leadership actively investing in specialty growth

You focus on the patients and orthodontics.

We'll focus on helping build the schedule around you.

Why Reno?

Reno offers a compelling combination of professional opportunity, accessibility, and quality of life.

Northern Nevada continues to grow, while the specialty market offers opportunities that can be difficult to find in more saturated Western metropolitan areas.

The region offers:

• Growing Reno/Sparks population
• Expanding family communities
• Strong demand for specialty dental care
• Access to Northern California
• Reno-Tahoe International Airport
• No Nevada state individual income tax
• Lake Tahoe approximately an hour away
• World-class skiing and snowboarding
• Hiking
• Mountain biking
• Boating
• Golf
• Four-season outdoor recreation

For an Orthodontist currently practicing in Northern California, Reno is close enough to support a recurring travel model.

For someone ready for a larger lifestyle change, it can also be an exceptional place to relocate and build a long-term career.
