Job Description
- Riverton, Wyoming
- Step Into a Practice With a Built-In Patient Base
- This is not an opportunity where you'll have to spend years building a schedule.
We're looking for an Associate Dentist to join our established Riverton practice as our current dentist prepares to retire. You'll have the opportunity to step into an established patient base, take over an active schedule, and build significant earning potential from day one.
This is an exciting opportunity for a dentist who wants to practice independently, earn at a high level, and potentially build toward partnership.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Established Patient Base: Step into an existing schedule as a retiring dentist transitions out of the practice.
High Earning Potential: With an established patient base and strong patient demand, there is significant opportunity to build your income through production.
- Partnership Opportunity: Build a long-term career with the potential to pursue partnership.
- Clinical Autonomy: Make treatment decisions and practice dentistry your way.
- Experienced Team: Join a team that already knows the patients, practice, and community.
- Modern Practice: Have the technology and resources you need to provide comprehensive care.
- Community Impact: Build lasting relationships with patients and families in the Riverton community.
- Who We're Looking For
We're Looking for a Dentist Who Is
- DDS or DMD from an accredited dental school
- Licensed or eligible for licensure in Wyoming
- Patient-focused and committed to excellent care
- Motivated to build a successful, long-term career
- Comfortable working independently while being part of a team
New graduates are welcome to apply, but this opportunity is especially attractive for a dentist ready to step into an established practice and make it their own.
The Opportunity
The retiring dentist has built a strong patient base and established reputation in the community. Now, you have the opportunity to step into what they've built and take it to the next level.
If you're looking for a practice where you can walk into an established patient base, maximize your earning potential, and build toward something bigger, we'd love to talk with you.
Key Responsibilities
The Associate Dentist will provide comprehensive dental care to an established patient base in an active practice. They will be responsible for making independent treatment decisions and maintaining high standards of patient care.
Requirements
Candidates must hold a DDS or DMD degree from an accredited dental school and be licensed or eligible for licensure in Wyoming. The role is suitable for both new graduates and experienced dentists who are motivated to build a long-term career.
Qualifications
- Education
- Doctoral or professional degree (postgraduate degree)
- Experience
- 2+ years of experience

The cost-of-living index for Wyoming is 92.7 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$200k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $216k in an average-cost state. 57.2% of Wyoming clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Location & Logistics
Wyoming has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$200k midpoint, that is roughly $8k–$14k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
