General Dentist – Salem, Oregon

$40,000 Signing Bonus | Average Full-Time Earnings $150,000–$400,000+

Build Your Practice with an Established Patient Base Behind You

Gentle Dental is seeking a full-time General Dentist to join our established Salem Lancaster practice in Salem, Oregon .

With strong patient demand, a $40,000 signing bonus , clinical autonomy, and an experienced team behind you, this opportunity offers the foundation to build a successful and rewarding long-term practice.

Whether you are an experienced dentist or early in your career, you will have the patient base, technology, mentorship, and operational support to continue growing while focusing on what matters most: providing excellent care.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $40,000 signing bonus

• Average full-time earnings of $150,000–$400,000+

• Established patient base with strong demand for care

• Clinical autonomy to diagnose and treatment plan based on what is best for your patients

• Experienced clinical and operational support

• Modern technology and clinical resources

• Mentorship and collaboration with an experienced network of providers

• Continuing education and professional development opportunities

Clinical Autonomy. Real Support.

At Gentle Dental, our doctors have the autonomy to make clinical decisions based on what is right for their patients while benefiting from the resources and support of an established dental organization.

Our teams help manage the operational side of the practice so you can focus on dentistry, build long-term patient relationships, and grow your practice. You'll also have access to a broader network of providers for mentorship, collaboration, and continued professional development.

Why Salem?

Oregon's capital offers a great balance of career opportunity, affordability, and access to everything that makes the Pacific Northwest such a desirable place to live.

Salem sits in the heart of the Willamette Valley, surrounded by Oregon wine country and within easy reach of hiking, waterfalls, mountains, and the Oregon Coast. Portland is also close enough for an easy day trip, while Salem offers a more relaxed pace and lower cost of living than many larger West Coast cities.

It's a great place to build a career, put down roots, and still have plenty to explore when you're away from the office.
