Schedule: Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (2 days/week). Flexibility for alternative two-day schedules Monday–Thursday is available for the right associate. Compensation: $800/day guaranteed or 30% of adjusted net production, whichever is higher.

About the Opportunity

Destination Dental is a private, well-established dental practice seeking a skilled, personable, and growth-minded Associate Dentist who values quality dentistry, honest treatment planning, and strong patient relationships.

As we transition to a new practice name and marketing plan, we’re looking for a doctor who wants to grow with us. The position starts at two days per week, with the goal of expanding to four days as the practice grows. A potential partnership opportunity may be available after two years, if mutually desired.

We’re looking for someone who wants to become an excellent provider, invest in their skills, and build a long-term professional home- not simply chase the highest paycheck from day one.

• No lab fees for cases sent to designated laboratories.
• Advanced technology, including CBCT, intraoral scanners, and electric handpieces.

• Develop honest, patient-centered treatment plans.
• Maintain accurate records and follow up on complex cases and unscheduled treatment.
• Follow all licensing, safety, and compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with the dental team and continue developing clinical skills.

Qualifications

We welcome new graduates and experienced dentists. We value clinical ability, integrity, humility, and a willingness to learn.

• DDS or DMD and an active Kansas dental license, or eligibility to obtain one before starting.
• Competence in restorative dentistry, including fillings and crown and bridge.
• Sound clinical judgment, steady hands, and strong communication skills.
• A patient-first approach and a collaborative attitude.

Endodontic skills, oral surgery, and extractions are a plus.

Our Team & Culture

You’ll work alongside a supportive team of 3 hygienists, 3 front-office team members, and 2 dental assistants at our single Central Topeka location.

We’re looking for a dentist who is honest, personable, humble, and motivated to grow- someone who welcomes feedback, takes pride in their work, and can laugh at themselves along the way.

If you want to strengthen your clinical skills, build lasting patient relationships, and grow with an established private practice that values quality over shortcuts, we’d love to meet you.
