Full job description
General / Cosmetic Dentist – Kansas City, MO | Associate Welcome. Equity Available. Founder Retiring.
Small, doctor-led cosmetic and family practice in Kansas City is hiring a full-time dentist. We will take a strong associate. We will also offer equity to the doctor who wants to own.
The founder built this practice and is retiring. He is looking for a successor—someone who can take a chair, lead with the remaining doctor, and eventually own what he built. If you want a high-quality associate seat in a boutique office, apply. If you want to become the owner, say so.
Two ways in
-
Associate: Full-time clinical role in a small cosmetic-focused private practice. Not a DSO floor. Not 30–40 patients a day.
-
Owner / successor: Equity ownership is available. The founder is retiring and wants a leader who will protect the patient base and the reputation he built.
You do not have to decide on day one. Start as associate; talk ownership once both sides have seen the fit.
The practice
-
6 operatories total: 4 doctor ops + 2 hygiene ops
-
After the founder retires: 2 dentists in the 4 doctor ops, 2 hygienists in the 2 hygiene ops
-
Boutique private practice — room to work, not a 15–20 op box and not a 4-chair squeeze
-
Cosmetic-forward general dentistry in an established Kansas City neighborhood
-
Relationship-driven patient base, not a high-volume clinic
Two doctors and four doctor chairs is the model: you are not stacked on top of each other, and hygiene has its own two rooms.
Schedule (full-time, 4 days)
-
Tuesday: 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM
-
Wednesday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
-
Thursday: 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM
-
Monday or Friday: 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM
-
Weekends closed
Early-out days plus one later midweek shift. Built for a doctor who wants a real week, not 50 hours of chair time.
Clinical scope Comprehensive general dentistry with a cosmetic emphasis: esthetic restorative, veneers and smile design, crowns, whitening, and everyday family care. Bring the skills you have. The remaining doctor and the founder (through transition) will talk mentorship and case-selection standards so the practice stays at the level patients expect.
Who this is for
-
Missouri-licensed (or license in process) general dentist
-
Comfortable in a small office where the doctor is the brand
-
Interested in cosmetic and comprehensive care, not Medicaid mills
-
Open to associate-only or to becoming the next owner
-
Someone the founder can trust with his patients and his name as he steps out
Who this is not for Doctors who need a 17-op, high-volume book on day one, or who want to associate for a year and leave. The founder is retiring. He is not hiring a placeholder.
Kansas City Kansas City metro: established neighborhoods, reasonable cost of living versus the coasts, and a patient base that will drive for a dentist they trust. Easy place to practice and, if you take the equity path, an easy place to own.
Apply here. In your note, say whether you want associate-only, ownership, or to start as associate and discuss equity after a visit. Conversations are confidential. The practice name is not published on this listing.
