We’re seeking a General Dentist (DDS/DMD) to join our well‑established, high-quality, fee‑for‑service, solo practice in Kingwood, Texas. This is a great opportunity to step into a lead role, working alongside Dr. Perkins during a smooth transition as he plans to retire at the end of the year - ultimately offering the chance to become the sole dentist and continue growing a loyal, patient‑focused practice.

Opportunity Highlights

• Well-established fee-for-service practice supported by a loyal patient base and steady demand for comprehensive care


• Mentorship and transition support from a highly credentialed retiring dentist


• Consistent schedule supporting work-life balance


• Family-friendly "Livable Forest" community with top-rated schools, scenic trails, and abundant green space


• Convenient Houston access - peaceful suburban living just 30 minutes (23 miles) northeast of Downtown Houston

Chris E Perkins DDS & Associates supported by Star Dental Partners - Our Practice Culture & Clinical Philosophy

We are grounded in a private-practice mindset, even with the added support of a larger organization behind the scenes. Day-to-day dentistry is shaped locally - by the doctors and teams who care for the patients, not by distant decision-makers or rigid mandates.

What This Means For Our Dentists

• Clinical judgment comes first - Dentists maintain full authority over diagnosis and treatment planning.


• Patient relationships matter - We value continuity, trust, and long‑term care over volume. Dentistry here is relationship-driven, not transaction-based.


• Support without interference - Administrative and operational support exists to reduce burden, not to control clinical decisions or day-to-day practice flow.


• Respectful, stable office environment - Teams are collaborative, experienced, and treated with professionalism. Dentists are viewed as leaders within the office.


• Reasonable expectations and pacing - Schedules are designed to support quality care, not rushed dentistry or burnout.


• Transparency and fairness - Expectations, scheduling, and compensation are communicated clearly and consistently, without moving targets.


• Collaboration is optional, not imposed - Clinical input and mentorship are available when helpful, while independence is respected at every career stage.

While additional infrastructure exists to support the practice operationally, the culture, patient care, and clinical approach remain rooted in traditional private practice values. Dentists who appreciate autonomy, ethical care, and a respectful work environment tend to do well—and stay—here.
