Best Sites to Post Dental Jobs in 2026

Every site on this page can post a dental job.

What separates them is what you pay, what you sign, and who sees the post: a general job board puts your opening in front of everyone, while a dental-only board puts it in front of hygienists, assistants, front-office staff and dentists who are actively looking for dental work.

We ranked for a dental practice or DSO, not for a recruiter filling any kind of role.

Published prices came first: several boards quote exact figures on their own websites, and where a price is not published we say so rather than estimate it.

Contract terms, how candidates apply, and where a listing actually appears broke the ties.

DentistryHires is one of the options and wrote this page.

Every fact about the other companies was checked on their own websites on the date shown in the sources, and our own facts come from the fact sheet.

The cheapest published option is Craigslist at $10–75 per post, varying by area.

The cheapest at volume is Indeed: many jobs post free subject to its terms and usage limits, and sponsoring one is billed per click or per started application against a budget you set — new US accounts get a $75 credit toward a first sponsored job.

Indeed publishes no fixed sponsored price; it recommends a budget, and bills on the first of the month or when account spending reaches $500.

Among the dental-only boards, DentistryHires charges $199 for a Standard 30-day listing or $399 for Featured at launch pricing — a one-time payment, no subscription (published on our pricing page). iHireDental's job slots run $316–$369 a month for one slot, depending on the billing term.

DentalPost's subscription is $259 a month for one active post, with add-ons at $149 (resume search with messaging), $199 (distribution to 50+ job sites) and $549 (a National Boost with 30-day nationwide reach).

Princess Dental Staffing is $139 a month for unlimited temp requests, or $259 with job posts and resume downloads added.

The ADA CareerCenter rents single listings: $300–$750 for 30–90 days, or $2,500–$2,750 for a 365-day listing, with ADA members receiving 10% off.

ZipRecruiter and LinkedIn both start with a free trial; ZipRecruiter's plan prices are not published, and LinkedIn bills promoted posts per click against a budget you set.

Hygienists and assistants are the roles the dental-only boards are built around.

DentalPost covers assistants, front office, hygienists, dentists, lab technicians and dental sales reps, and matches candidates on assessment data.

Princess Dental Staffing is built for temp-first offices: unlimited temp requests at $139 a month, with job posts and resume downloads on the $259 All Access plan. iHireDental puts a slot-based job in front of its dental community and across partner sites such as Google and Indeed.

Indeed is the volume play: posting is free for many jobs, and it maintains a dedicated dental-assistant hiring page.

It says sponsored jobs posted with Urgently Hiring make a hire 5 days faster than non-sponsored ones (self-reported, Indeed data from Q2 2024).

For a single flat fee with no subscription, DentistryHires lists an assistant or hygienist opening for 30 days at $199 at launch pricing, and collected listings from practices' career sites and public feeds sit alongside the paid ones. See how the dental assistant job pages present openings to candidates.

For dentists and specialists, the ADA CareerCenter is the association route: it calls itself the official online job board of the American Dental Association, rents listings by duration ($300–$750 for 30–90 days, up to $2,500–$2,750 for a year), and members save 10%.

A 365-day listing suits a specialist search that can legitimately run for months, and print/online packages in JADA and ADA News are available by contacting the ADA.

DentalPost also lists dentists, and its assessment-based matching earns its keep when you want more than a stack of applications.

LinkedIn fits specialist and leadership searches where candidates are passive: promoted posts bill per click within your budget, and its Hiring Pro product targets small businesses without recruiter support.

DentistryHires covers dentists, associate dentists and six specialties (orthodontist, oral surgeon, endodontist, pediatric dentist, periodontist and prosthodontist) alongside hygienists, assistants and the front office — and every role posts at the same flat price, $199 for a Standard 30-day listing at launch pricing.

General boards win on raw reach and on free posting.

Indeed lets many jobs go up free and charges only for the interactions you choose to sponsor; ZipRecruiter starts you on a free trial and says it sends each post to 100+ job sites (self-reported); LinkedIn gives you pay-per-click control over a promoted post; Craigslist is a flat $10–75 local classified.

The trade-off is noise — a hygienist opening competes with every other industry — so general boards work best when you are willing to sponsor the post or you hire across many kinds of roles.

Dental-only boards win on relevance.

Everyone on DentalPost, iHireDental, Princess Dental Staffing or the ADA CareerCenter is there for dental work, and each publishes its prices.

DentistryHires is dental-only too, and it also aggregates openings from dental employers' career sites and public job feeds, alongside the jobs practices pay to post.

If you hire every month, a subscription — DentalPost at $259, Princess at $139–$259, iHireDental slots from $316 — spreads the cost.

If you fill a role now and then, a one-time listing (DentistryHires at $199, the ADA CareerCenter from $300) or a free Indeed post is the cheaper shape.

Groups have four published routes.

DentalPost offers custom packages and bulk discounts through its corporate recruiting team.

DentistryHires runs group plans at $899 a month for 10 always-live jobs (Growth) or $1,749 for 25 jobs, all Featured (Brand) — monthly, no minimum commitment, cancel anytime, with Founding Partner rates guaranteed for 24 months for the first 10 group-plan customers; plans are arranged by contacting DentistryHires.

The ADA CareerCenter sells a Featured Employer package (unlimited postings, resume database access, homepage logo) by quote. iHireDental prices slots in volume: three slots run $405–$450 a month and ten run $733–$799, depending on term.

Princess Dental Staffing charges per office — each additional office on a plan costs extra, added or removed at any time — which suits groups growing location by location, and it charges no hiring fee when an office makes a hire.

A group that wants dental-only reach without a contract fits the DentistryHires or DentalPost routes; one that also wants print presence gets that from the ADA's JADA and ADA News packages.
