Pediatric Dentist or Pediatric-Focused General Dentist
Relocate to Reno, Nevada
Relocation Assistance Available | Established Patient Base | $230,400–$460,800+ Annualized Earnings Potential | Built-In Orthodontics | 100% Dentist-Owned
Ready for a Change? Build Your Next Chapter in Reno.
If you've been considering leaving California, the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, or another high-cost or highly competitive market, this may be the opportunity that makes the move worthwhile.
Our confidential, 100% dentist-owned private group is seeking a Pediatric Dentist—or an experienced General Dentist who loves treating children—to relocate to Reno, Nevada and join an established, thriving pediatric practice.
Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate, and we are actively encouraging qualified dentists from outside Nevada to apply.
You won't be relocating to build a patient base from scratch.
You'll step into an established practice with existing patient demand, an experienced team, integrated orthodontics, strong earning potential, and a dentist-led organization that wants to help make your transition to Northern Nevada successful.
Whether you're completing residency, early in your career, raising a family, or simply ready for a better professional and personal lifestyle, we'd love to introduce you to Reno.
Why This Opportunity Is Worth Relocating For
Relocation Assistance Available

We Welcome Applicants From
