Job Description

General/Cosmetic Dentist, Associate or Successor: Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City, MO | Full-Time, 4 Days per Week | Boutique Cosmetic and Family Practice | Equity Available | $275,000–$325,000 per Year

A boutique, cosmetic-forward practice where the doctor is the brand, and the founder is retiring. This small, doctor-led Kansas City office wants a full-time dentist to take a chair, lead alongside the remaining doctor and, if you want it, become the owner. It's not a DSO floor and not 30–40 patients a day. It's a relationship-driven patient base in an established neighborhood.

Two Ways In

Associate: a full-time clinical role in a small, cosmetic-focused private practice.

Owner/successor: equity is available. The founder wants a leader who'll protect the patient base and reputation they built.

Start as an associate and talk ownership once both sides have seen the fit.

The Work

Comprehensive general dentistry with a cosmetic emphasis: esthetic restorative, veneers and smile design, crowns and whitening

Everyday Family Care

Bring the skills you have. The remaining doctor and the founder (through the transition) will discuss mentorship and case-selection standards.

The Practice

  • 6 operatories: 4 doctor ops and 2 hygiene ops
  • After the founder retires: 2 dentists in the 4 doctor ops and 2 hygienists in the 2 hygiene ops, so no one is stacked on top of each other
  • A boutique size: room to work, without a 15–20 op box or a 4-chair squeeze

Schedule

Four days: Tuesday 7:30 AM–2:30 PM, Wednesday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, Thursday 7:30 AM–2:30 PM, plus Monday or Friday 7:30 AM–2:30 PM. Closed weekends. Early-out days plus one later midweek shift give you a real week, not 50 hours of chair time.

What You Need

  • A Missouri dental license, or one in process
  • Comfort in a small office and genuine interest in cosmetic and comprehensive care

Openness to associate-only or to becoming the next owner, and someone the founder can trust with their patients and name

Compensation

$275,000–$325,000 per year, with equity available for the doctor who wants to own.

Why Kansas City

Established neighborhoods, a reasonable cost of living compared with the coasts and patients who will drive for a dentist they trust. It's an easy place to practice and, on the equity path, an easy place to own.

How to Be Considered

Apply and say whether you want associate-only, ownership, or to start as an associate and discuss equity after a visit.

This is a confidential search. The practice name is shared after a brief screen, so please do not contact the practice directly.

Key Responsibilities

Provide comprehensive general and family dentistry with a cosmetic emphasis, including esthetic restorative work, veneers, smile design, crowns, and whitening. Work alongside the remaining doctor and support the practice’s patient relationships and reputation, with the option to pursue ownership.

Requirements

Must hold a Missouri dental license or have one in process, and be comfortable working in a small practice with a genuine interest in cosmetic and comprehensive care. Candidates should be open to an associate-only role or a potential ownership transition and be trusted to care for the practice’s patients and reputation.
