Job Description
General Dentist – Lubbock, TX | Associate Welcome. Equity Available. $80,000 Commitment Bonus for a 5-Year Commitment.
$30,000 paid over the first 2 years + $50,000 paid over years 3–5, if you commit to five years.
This is a well-established, doctor-led PPO/FFS practice in Lubbock with 17 operatories, 1.5 GPs, and 2 hygienists. We will hire a strong full-time associate. We will also sell equity and transition ownership to the right dentist.
The founder built this practice and is looking for a successor—someone who can lead clinically, take care of the team and the patients, and eventually own what he built. If you want to practice here as an associate, apply. If you want to become the owner, say so in your application.
Two ways in
Associate: Step into a busy PPO/FFS schedule with mentorship, modern equipment, and a full support team.
Owner / successor: Equity is available. The founder wants a leader who will carry the practice forward—not a short-term associate who leaves in 18 months.
You do not have to choose on day one. Many doctors start as associate and move into ownership once both sides know it is a fit.

Clinical scope Comprehensive general dentistry: restorative, surgery, endodontics, and implant procedures. You work with an experienced clinical and front-office team. This is not a cold-start chair.
Why Lubbock Lubbock (the Hub City) combines Texas Tech energy with a lower cost of living than Dallas, Austin, or Houston. Good schools, neighborhoods you can actually buy into, Big 12 athletics, and a healthcare market that keeps growing. A place to practice—and, if you take the equity path, a place to own.
Who this is for A Texas-licensed (or soon-to-be licensed) general dentist who wants a busy PPO/FFS book and is open to either a long-term associate seat or becoming the next owner. The founder is not looking for a placeholder. He is looking for the person who will leave the practice better than he found it.
Apply here. Tell us whether you want associate-only, ownership, or to start as associate and talk equity after you have seen the practice. Qualified doctors are contacted quickly.
