A thriving, rapidly growing pediatric dental practice in Springfield, Missouri is seeking a Pediatric Dentist — or a General Dentist with strong pediatric experience — to join their established team. This is a standout opportunity to step into a busy schedule, supported by experienced doctors, full clinical resources, and a pathway to long-term partnership.

Whether you’re a seasoned provider or a recent graduate seeking mentorship, this practice offers the ideal blend of autonomy, support, and career growth.

Practice Overview

Location: Springfield, Missouri

Position: Pediatric Dentist (or GD with pediatric experience)

Reason for Need: Significant growth in patient volume expanding operatories

Current Team Includes

  • 1 Pediatric Dentist
  • 1 Orthodontist (Dr. Thomas Gardner)
  • 2 Associate Dentists
  • Full team of Dental Assistants & Hygienists

Daily Volume

  • 30–40 patients/day on average
  • Consistent, steady pediatric demand with room for expanded services

Scope of Practice

The incoming provider will have the opportunity to perform full-scope pediatric dentistry, including:

  • Exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns
  • General pediatric restorative care
  • Sedation dentistry services
  • In-house orthodontics handled by Dr. Gardner
  • Preventive care for infants through teen years

Patient Age Range

  • Infants Children Teens

Payor Mix

  • Heavily private insurance (Delta Dental, BCBS, etc.)
  • Small portion of Medicaid patients

This strong private-pay base supports excellent earning potential and predictable scheduling.

Responsibilities

  • Provide comprehensive pediatric dental care with compassion and clinical excellence
  • Deliver sedation dentistry within training and credentialing
  • Collaborate closely with orthodontist and support staff
  • Maintain efficient patient flow and accurate documentation
  • Mentor junior staff or new grads as needed
  • Uphold all safety, infection control, and regulatory standards

Who Thrives Here

This role is ideal for someone who:

Enjoys a busy, high-volume pediatric schedule

Values mentorship, teamwork, and clinical collaboration

Wants long-term growth, including ownership opportunities

Has a passion for pediatric dentistry and positive patient experiences

Experience Level

  • Open to new graduates
  • Open to experienced pediatric dentists
  • Mentorship available from the current clinical team

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation Options:

  • Flexible per diem and/or percentage of collections
  • Highly competitive earning structure in a strong private-pay environment

Incentives

  • Sign-on & relocation bonus available

Benefits

  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • 401(k)

Long-Term Opportunities

  • Partnership eligibility after 1 year
  • Clear pathway to equity ownership

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Modern, expanding pediatric practice

Sedation services in-house ortho = unique earning & learning opportunities

Strong, private-insurance-heavy patient base

Mentorship and clinical support for new grads

Partnership potential within 12 months

High-volume, rewarding pediatric environment

Employment Type: Full Time

Salary: $200,000 - $500,000 Annual

Bonus/Commission: No

Salary : $200,000 - $500,000
