What are the responsibilities and job description for the Locum / Floater Associate Dentist position at Two Rivers Dental?
Job Description:
Join Two Rivers Dental as a Locum / Floater Dentist – Work When YOU Want, Earn Top Daily Rates, and Never Worry About Patient Acquisition Again
We are a fast-growing, doctor-led dental group with 25 locations (and more opening every year) across the Midwest. We believe doctors should never stress about coverage, we maintain a dedicated bench of elite locum/float dentists who keep our chairs full and our teams happy.
This is NOT a typical associate role. This is a premium, flexible locum position designed for skilled GPs who want:
- $850 – $1,000 per day guaranteed (based on experience & availability)
- Choose your own schedule – work 1–15 days per month
- Zero headaches – we provide patients, staff, modern equipment, and full clinical autonomy
- Paid travel time mileage reimbursement (if covering multiple locations)
- Paid CE
- Opportunity to “test drive” our group with an eye toward permanent placement (many of our floaters become full-time or even partners)
What a typical month looks like:
- Cover planned doctor vacations, CE days, or unexpected absences
- Work in state-of-the-art offices with digital everything, CBCT, CEREC, Sprintray (where applicable), and amazing teams
- Earn full daily rate even on lighter production days (we guarantee it)
- Get first pick when new permanent positions open
Requirements:
- Active Illinois dental license & DEA
- 2 years clinical experience preferred (newer grads with strong skills considered)
- Friendly, team-oriented personality
- Reliable transportation (we cover the mileage)
Why dentists love floating with us: “I went from burning out in private practice to making more money working half the days. Best decision I ever made.” – Dr. M., current floater “I started as a locum and six months later took a full-time lead doctor role with equity. The bench gave me zero-risk exposure to the group.” – Dr. T.
