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
  • IV Sedation / In-Office Sedation
  • Bone Grafting
  • 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

Modern Surgical Environment

  • You'll practice within established offices supported by experienced clinical and administrative teams.
  • The organization is committed to supporting advanced surgical dentistry, including:
  • Implant Surgery
  • IV Sedation
  • Complex Extractions
  • Third Molar Surgery
  • Bone Grafting
  • Periodontal Surgery
  • Full-Arch Treatment

Advanced Surgical Case Coordination

  • Our goal is to keep appropriate specialty procedures within the practice's existing patient network whenever clinically appropriate, creating a highly efficient referral model for the incoming Periodontist.
  • Private Practice Culture
  • 100% dentist-owned and dentist-led
  • No private equity involvement
  • No corporate bureaucracy
  • Strong clinical autonomy
  • Collaborative relationships with referring doctors
  • Experienced operational and clinical support

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.

Long-Term Growth Opportunity

  • The position will begin on a limited monthly schedule, but leadership views advanced surgical and periodontal services as an important area for continued growth.
  • For the right Periodontist, future opportunities may include:
  • Increasing clinical days in Reno
  • Developing a larger internal specialty referral program
  • Supporting additional locations throughout the region
  • Helping establish surgical protocols and specialty workflows
  • Participating in future specialty expansion

  • Excellent communication and patient-management skills
