Job Description
Comprehensive General Dentist ("Super GP"): Lincoln Park, Chicago
Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL | Full-Time or Part-Time | Doctor-Owned Private Practice | PPO/FFS Only | $200,000–$375,000 per year
If you love the full scope of dentistry and want the autonomy to treatment plan the care your patients actually need, this is your seat. A thriving doctor-owned practice in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods is adding an experienced general dentist who can keep more treatment in-house: molar endo, surgical extractions and straightforward implants, alongside excellent restorative care.
This is not a limited bread-and-butter position. It's built for a true Super GP who wants quality dentistry without production quotas or private equity metrics.
The Work
- Comprehensive restorative, crowns and bridges, full-mouth treatment planning and cosmetic procedures
- Endodontics, including posterior teeth (mandibular molar endo strongly preferred)
- Routine and surgical extractions, straightforward third molars and socket preservation
- Straightforward surgical placement of single-unit implants, implant restoration and implant treatment planning
- Efficient, high-quality everyday dentistry for a loyal patient base
The Practice
- Doctor-owned and operated, with clinical autonomy
- PPO and fee-for-service only: no Medicaid, no HMO
- Fully digital, with CBCT, intraoral scanners, modern operatories and digital workflows
- Experienced assistants and a strong hygiene program
- Established patient base, consistent new patient flow and a strong referral reputation
Long-term Partnership Opportunity for the Right Clinician
Schedule: Full-time or part-time, based on your availability and career goals.
- Benefits (eligible full-time doctors)
- Medical, dental and vision insurance
- 401(k)
- Malpractice coverage

Why Lincoln Park
Lakefront access, great restaurants and shopping, excellent public transit, a thriving residential community and an easy commute from across the Chicago metro.

Strong Communication and Treatment Planning Skills
