Job description

Orthodontist — $1,500/Day + $100 Per Start

Reno, Nevada | 1-2 Days/Week to Start | Path to 4+ Days | Relocation Assistance

Looking for an orthodontic opportunity with immediate patient demand, a built-in pediatric referral network, and a clear path toward a larger clinical schedule?

Our confidential, 100% dentist-owned private dental group is seeking an Orthodontist to join a growing orthodontic program in Reno, Nevada.

This is much more than a few supplemental days.

We are actively growing our Reno pediatric dentistry program and expect to build the orthodontic schedule alongside it—starting with 1-2 clinical days per week and targeting approximately 4 days per week within the next nine months.

You’ll also have opportunities to provide orthodontic care at satellite locations throughout the region.

Confirmed Compensation

$1,500 Per Clinical Day + $100 Per New Orthodontic Start

• $1,500 guaranteed per clinical day
• Plus $100 for every new orthodontic start
• 1-2 clinical days per week to start
• Expected growth toward approximately 4 days per week within nine months
• Established internal referral network
• Growing Pediatric Dentistry program
• 1099 Independent Contractor relationship
• Relocation assistance available

This is an opportunity to earn immediately while helping build what we believe can become one of the strongest orthodontic programs in the Reno market.

A Growing Orthodontic Platform — Not a Static Part-Time Job

Our vision is straightforward:

As our Pediatric Dentistry program grows, our Orthodontic program grows with it.

We’re building an increasingly integrated pediatric and orthodontic model that creates a natural internal pipeline of families, consultations, and orthodontic starts.

Initial Schedule

Begin with approximately 1-2 days per week in the Reno market.

Next 9 Months

Our goal is to grow the core pediatric office-based orthodontic program to approximately:

4 clinical days per week

Satellite Opportunities

In addition to the primary Reno schedule:

• Approximately 2 satellite days per month at our South Reno location
• Potential to eventually add 1–2 days per month at our South Lake Tahoe location
• Additional clinical days may be added as patient demand continues to grow

For the right Orthodontist, there is significant runway here.

Built Around a Growing Pediatric Referral Engine

One of the biggest advantages of this opportunity is where the orthodontic patients come from.

We are actively growing our Pediatric Dentistry program in Reno, creating an increasingly strong internal pipeline for:

• Orthodontic screenings
• Early orthodontic intervention
• Comprehensive orthodontic consultations
• New starts
• Sibling and family referrals
• Long-term patient relationships

That is supplemented by referrals from our General Dentistry network.

Instead of asking an Orthodontist to arrive in a new market and develop referral relationships from scratch, we’re building the infrastructure and patient base around you.

Why Reno — And Why Now?

Reno is a compelling market for an Orthodontist looking for both professional opportunity and quality of life.

Northern Nevada continues to grow, while the orthodontic market offers an opportunity to establish yourself without the density of specialists found in many major Western metros.

You’ll have access to:

• A growing Reno/Sparks population
• Expanding families and communities
• Strong demand for dental and specialty services
• Less saturated competition than many major Western markets
• A growing Pediatric Dentistry referral base
• No Nevada state individual income tax
• Lake Tahoe approximately an hour away
• World-class skiing and snowboarding
• Hiking, mountain biking, boating and golf
• Four seasons and year-round outdoor recreation
• Reno-Tahoe International Airport
• Convenient access to Northern California

For an Orthodontist coming from California or another highly competitive Western market, Reno provides the opportunity to build something meaningful without giving up access to the lifestyle that makes the West special.

Out-of-State Orthodontists: We Want to Hear From You

Relocation Assistance Is Available

You do not need to currently live in Nevada to be considered.

We strongly encourage inquiries from Orthodontists throughout:

• California
• Oregon
• Washington
• Arizona
• Utah
• Colorado
• Idaho
• The broader Western United States

If Reno is somewhere you’ve considered—or if you’ve never seriously looked at Northern Nevada—we’d welcome the opportunity to introduce you to the market.

Our organization is 100% dentist-owned.

That means:

• No private equity ownership
• No outside investors dictating clinical care
• Provider-focused leadership
• Collaborative decision-making
• Long-term commitment to patient care
• An organization willing to invest in growing the specialty program around the right doctor

We want our Orthodontist to become an important part of the long-term growth of the organization.

Modern, Supported Clinical Environment

You’ll step into an established dental platform with:

• Experienced clinical support
• Digital workflows
• Established patient scheduling systems
• Treatment coordination support
• Existing Pediatric and General Dentistry referrals
• Administrative infrastructure
• Strong patient communication systems
• An organization actively investing in specialty growth

You focus on diagnosing, treatment planning, patient relationships, and delivering excellent orthodontic care.

We’ll focus on helping fill the schedule.
