2026 Graduating Dentist

General Dentist Opportunity – Vandalia, Illinois | Established, High-Performing Private Group Practice (Confidential)
4-Day Workweek | 11 Operatories | Eaglesoft | Strong Hygiene Department

Are you a confident, comprehensive General Dentist looking for a stable, busy schedule in a well-supported practice where you can do great dentistry and be as productive as you want to be? Our long-established, doctor-led private group practice in Vandalia, IL is seeking a full-time Associate Dentist to join a collaborative team with strong patient demand and efficient systems.

Experienced dentists are strongly preferred, but the practice is open to a 2026 graduating dentist or current resident who is coachable, clinically thoughtful, and excited to grow in a high-support environment.

Practice Overview

This practice has deep roots in the community and a strong reputation for comprehensive care. The office is built for smooth flow, full schedules, and high-quality outcomes.

Practice Snapshot

• 11 operatories
• 2 Dentists + 4 Hygienists
• Eaglesoft practice management software
• Strong hygiene/recall systems that consistently feed restorative and comprehensive care
• Experienced clinical and administrative support to keep the day moving

⚙️ Clinical & Procedural Focus

We’re looking for a dentist who enjoys comprehensive care and takes pride in doing quality work efficiently.

Ideal strengths include:

• Comprehensive exams, diagnosis, and treatment planning
• Restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges)
• Simple to moderate extractions
• Endo experience is a plus (or interest in expanding endo skills is welcomed)

Schedule & Hours

Target Schedule (Associate):

• 4 days per week
• 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Current Office Hours (for reference):

• Monday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Tuesday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• Wednesday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Thursday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Friday: 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM

You’ll have a predictable 4-day schedule while the office maintains expanded hours to support access and demand.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established, reputable private group practice with consistent demand
• 11-op facility designed for productivity and smooth patient flow
• Strong hygiene foundation (4 hygienists) supporting steady restorative opportunities
• Eaglesoft systems + a team that knows how to run on time
• A long-term, stable role in a close-knit community
