A mission-driven community health center in West Plains, Missouri is seeking a full-time dentist to provide care primarily to children and adolescents across several rural counties. This role serves a high-demand patient population and focuses on providing essential dental care to families who rely on this clinic as their primary access to dentistry.
The position is outpatient with the option to work four or five days per week. There are no weekends or after-hours calls. Patient volume averages around 16 patients per day and the work is primarily bread-and-butter dentistry including exams, fillings, extractions, crowns, and some root canals. The practice does not perform implants and has an established referral network for more complex pediatric cases. You would be joining three full-time dentists along with hygienists and support staff in a collaborative team environment. There may be an occasional weekly rotation to a nearby satellite clinic in Thayer, Missouri.
The base salary starts at $140,000 for new graduates and is higher for experienced dentists. The position qualifies for federal student loan repayment due to a high HPSA score. The benefits package includes health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement with employer match, generous paid time off, continuing education support, and paid CME days. Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance are negotiable.
West Plains is located in the heart of the Ozarks and is known for its strong community feel, excellent schools, and affordable property values. Many providers choose this area because it offers the opportunity to practice meaningful dentistry while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
