Montchanin, DE | 1–2 Days a Month to Start, with Room to Grow | Independent Contractor | 50% of Net Production | Oral Surgery a Plus

Westphalia Holdings is recruiting for an established general dental practice in Montchanin, Delaware. The practice is adding a Periodontist to bring periodontal and implant care in-house. You'll start one to two days a month, with more days added as demand grows. Those cases are currently referred out, so there is work waiting from the first visit.

The Practice

  • 7 operatories; you'll have access to 1–2 rooms as needed
  • A dental assistant is provided, and the current assistants came from an implant center
  • Consumable supplies are covered by the practice
  • Periodontal and implant cases are currently referred out and would come to you instead
  • The work
  • Part-time Periodontist, independent contractor (1099)
  • Comprehensive periodontal care, including diagnosis, periodontal surgery, grafting and implant placement
  • Oral surgery, such as surgical extractions, is a strong plus

IV Sedation Is Not Required

Schedule: 1–2 days a month to start, set together with the practice, with room to add days as the patient base grows

Compensation

50% of net production, paid as an independent contractor. The practice provides the assistant and covers consumable supplies.

What You Need

  • A Delaware dental license, or eligibility to obtain one
  • Experience in implant placement and periodontal surgery
  • Oral surgery experience is a plus

Why Montchanin

Montchanin sits in the Brandywine Valley, just north of Wilmington, with easy access from Philadelphia, southern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware via I-95 and Route 202. It's an established community near Winterthur, Hagley and the Brandywine Creek parks, and a practical add-on for a specialist already practicing in the Delaware Valley.
