Job description

Orthodontist Opportunity | Des Moines, Iowa | Equity Partnership

Are you an orthodontist who's tired of a salary ceiling that doesn't reflect your ambition?

We're opening a new Celebrate Dental & Braces location in Des Moines, and we're looking for the right doctor to grow with us — not just work for us.

What makes this different:

This isn't a typical associate role. We're offering a genuine equity partnership in a startup practice backed by a proven DSO model. Our established locations have built highly successful practices — and now we're bringing that same infrastructure, systems, and support to Iowa.

The opportunity:

• Income potential of $500K–$1M+ in an established practice
• Real equity — you own a significant piece of what you build
• Full support from experienced partners who've done this successfully in multiple markets
• A well-developed business model so you're not starting from scratch

Who we're looking for:

Whether you're a driven new grad ready to skip the dead-end associate track, or a current associate who knows you're capable of more — if you have the hunger to build something and want to be rewarded like an owner, we want to talk.

Located in Des Moines, Iowa. Open to candidates already in the Midwest or those excited about relocating to a growing, affordable market with a strong quality of life.
