Job Description

  • Endodontist - Associate with Partnership Path
  • Location: Topeka, Kansas
  • Practice: O’Neal Endodontics
  • Employment Type: Full-time

Continue a trusted legacy at O’Neal Endodontics in Topeka, Kansas: an established endodontic practice with a strong referral base, and a partner doctor retiring in 2028 who’s invested in mentoring the next clinical leader. With Specialized Dental Partners (SDP) handling the operational lift, you can focus on high-quality outcomes, building relationships, and becoming the specialist this community relies on—today, and for the next chapter ahead.

You get the best of both worlds: true clinical autonomy and a real succession runway—without the administrative drag. SDP provides the infrastructure (people, systems, and support) so your time stays centered on patients, referring doctors, and exceptional endodontic care.

In addition, this role is eligible for Specialized Dental Partners’ Loan Relief Program, which is designed to provide meaningful debt relief to doctors serving select high-need markets. After applying, you will receive a follow-up email with additional details about the program, along with a short eligibility form.

SDP is a specialty-focused dental support organization that provides the operational infrastructure so doctors can stay focused on patients, outcomes, and the referral experience.

Why this Opportunity Stands Out

Established, Referral-driven practice

Dr. O’Neal has served the community for over 25 years and built a strong local reputation among referring dentists with a backlog of patients needing care.

Modern Clinical Environment

With 5 operatories and a CBCT, the practice is located in the heart of Topeka and built for efficient, high-quality endo.

Mentorship + Succession Plan

As the partner doctor is planning to retire in 2028, the incoming associate will enjoy dedicated mentorship and a pathway towards becoming the next long-term leader to serve the community.

High Clinical Autonomy

Maintain full control over your techniques, materials, and treatment approach, supported by an experienced operational and administrative team..

Defined Path to Partnership

  • Join with autonomy today and a clear runway toward ownership as you help build capacity and expand access to care in this market.
  • Why Topeka, KS
  • High quality of life, lower pressure: affordable living that makes it easier to put down roots and build a long-term practice
  • Easy day-to-day outdoors: trails, parks, and Kansas River access that fit an active routine

Right-sized city feel: a welcoming community with convenient access to regional amenities—without big-city traffic

Your Impact

You’ll be the endodontist patients trust when it matters most—preserving natural teeth, relieving pain, and elevating long-term outcomes. Just as important, you’ll strengthen referral relationships and help ensure continuity of specialty care in Topeka as the practice transitions toward its next chapter.

Responsibilities

  • Provide comprehensive endodontic care, including diagnosis and treatment planning
  • Perform root canal therapy and related endodontic procedures to a high clinical standard
  • Communicate effectively with referring providers and patients
