Associate Dentist – Balance, Growth & Ownership Near St. Louis | Illinois Side

Want the opportunity of a big city — without sacrificing balance, culture, or community?

Our locally operated, doctor-led practice on the Illinois side of the St. Louis metro area is searching for a driven, ambitious Associate Dentist who's ready to grow — professionally, personally, and financially.

Here, you'll find a high-tech, patient-focused environment led by Partner Dentists who believe in empowering clinicians, not managing them. You'll have the autonomy to practice your way — plus a clear path to real ownership after one or more years of employment, with no financial buy-in required.

This is the sweat-equity partnership model everyone talks about — but almost no one offers.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

Doctor-Led. Dentist-Centric. Locally operated within a supportive, female minority dentist-led organization that values independence, leadership, and mentorship.

Sweat-Equity Partnership. Earn true equity through your performance and commitment — no capital contribution or financial investment required.

Advanced Technology. iTero intraoral scanners in every operatory (upgrading by February 2026), Dentrix Ascend cloud-based platform, and a 101% collection rate that reflects precision and pride.

Continuous CE & Mentorship. Internal CE in Surgery / Implants, Endo, Invisalign (up to Diamond level), Leadership, Communication, and Spear Online training.

Autonomy with Support. Lead your own treatment philosophy with operational and clinical backing from experienced Partner Dentists.

What Success Looks Like Here

You're clinically confident, relationship-oriented, and entrepreneurial at heart. You want to build something — not just work somewhere. You see long-term relationships as the foundation of great dentistry, and you're ready to take ownership of both your outcomes and your future.

Life Just Outside St. Louis

Live where the air is calm, the commutes are short, and the community feels connected — yet be minutes from downtown St. Louis.

It's truly the best of both worlds.
