Job Description
Periodontist – Advanced Surgical Opportunity
Reno, Nevada
1–2 Days Per Month to Start | Significant Daily Production Potential | IV Sedation | Complex Implants | Private Practice | Immediate Referral Base
Are you a surgically driven Periodontist looking for an opportunity to practice beyond traditional periodontal procedures?
Our confidential, dentist-owned private group in Reno, Nevada is seeking an experienced Periodontist with advanced surgical capabilities to support an established internal referral network of Pediatric Dentists and high-producing General Dentists.
This opportunity is specifically designed for a Periodontist who is comfortable performing a broad scope of advanced surgical dentistry—including complex implant placement, surgical extraction of fully impacted third molars, bone grafting, and IV sedation in-office.
You'll step into existing demand without having to build a referral network from scratch, beginning approximately 1–2 clinical days per month with the opportunity to expand as surgical volume grows.
- Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Immediate Built-In Referral Base
- Established referrals from Pediatric Dentists and General Dentists within the organization
- Existing demand for advanced surgical procedures
- No need to develop a referral network from the ground up
- Ability to consolidate appropriate surgical cases into highly productive clinical days
- Significant opportunity to expand specialty services throughout the Reno market
Advanced Surgical Scope
- This is not simply a traditional periodontal maintenance and implant position.
- We are specifically seeking a Periodontist comfortable providing advanced procedures including, but not limited to:
- Complex Dental Implant Placement
- Surgical Extraction of Fully Impacted Third Molars
- Complex Surgical Extractions

- Ridge Augmentation
- Sinus Augmentation
- Socket Preservation
- Soft-Tissue Grafting
- Crown Lengthening
- Periodontal Surgery
- Full-Arch Implant Surgery
- Implant Complication Management
Other Advanced Periodontal and Surgical Procedures
- Candidates should have the appropriate training, experience, licensure, and sedation credentials necessary to perform these procedures independently.
- Significant Production & Income Potential
- Collections-based compensation structure
- Highly productive surgical scheduling model
- Ability to concentrate complex procedures into dedicated specialty days
- Significant daily earning potential based on procedure mix and collections
- Additional upside as internal specialty referrals continue to grow
- For a surgically experienced Periodontist performing complex implants, impacted third molars, grafting, and sedation cases, these days are designed to support exceptionally strong production potential.
- Flexible Schedule
- Begin approximately 1–2 clinical days per month
- Schedule specialty days around existing commitments
Expand Frequency as Patient Demand Increases
Excellent opportunity for a Periodontist seeking supplemental surgical days or a strategic long-term presence in Northern Nevada

- No private equity involvement
- No corporate bureaucracy
- Strong clinical autonomy

Provider-first Leadership Philosophy
You'll have the freedom to treatment plan appropriately, determine which cases fit your clinical scope, and practice according to your professional judgment.
