Dentist – General & Advanced Cosmetics (Flexible Schedule, Mentorship)

You'll work 3 days per week alongside experienced clinical leaders who mentor, support, and collaborate with you every step of the way. This is a place where your clinical skills matter, your patients know you by name, and your schedule is designed around your life—not the other way around.

About the Area

Amarillo is a vibrant mid-sized city (235,000 metro) in the Texas Panhandle with a low cost of living, affordable housing, and surprising recreational opportunities. Just 30 miles south is Palo Duro Canyon State Park—the "Grand Canyon of Texas" and second-largest canyon in the U. S.—offering world-class hiking, biking, horseback riding, and outdoor theater. Lake Meredith provides boating, fishing, and camping. Closer to town, you'll find a revitalized downtown anchored by Hodgetown Stadium (Sod Poodles baseball), a growing craft brewery and restaurant scene, Route 66 historic district shops, and cultural venues like the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. Amarillo is known for its small-town professional community, genuine neighborliness, and direct access to the High Plains lifestyle—without the traffic or expense of major metros like Dallas or Austin. Housing is affordable (~$235K median); rent for a 3-bedroom is ~$1,290/month. Healthcare costs are 18% below national average.
