Experienced Associate Dentist | Dentist-Owned Private Group

Your next career move should help you grow as a dentist and build the life you want for your family.

Dental Arts is a dentist owned, privately operated group serving the Tulsa area and surrounding communities. We are seeking an experienced general dentist who values ethical care, clinical growth, and a lasting professional home.

We offer strong patient demand, experienced support teams, and opportunities to expand your skills while maintaining a schedule that leaves room for family, faith, and service.

Two dentists who made the move

One dentist recently joined us after leaving a struggling practice he owned. Within his first three months at Dental Arts, he doubled his monthly income, with further growth anticipated as he builds his practice over the next several years.

Another dentist joined us after owning his own practice, where his income had remained relatively flat despite his growing skills and efficiency. In his first nine months at Dental Arts, he earned three times what he had earned during the entire previous year. He subsequently reported annual earnings of approximately $500,000.

His growth extended beyond income. Through mentorship with Dr. Soren Michaelsen, he expanded into full mouth restorations, advanced implant procedures, and All on X treatment. What initially began as a move for greater professional opportunity became a lasting home for his family.

These are individual experiences. Earnings vary based on production, experience, schedule, location, and other factors.

An environment where your skills can grow

Our doctors have the clinical autonomy to recommend appropriate care, supported by trained clinical and administrative teams, modern technology, and CBCT supported treatment planning.

For doctors interested in expanding their skills, we offer continuing education and mentorship in oral surgery, implants, endodontics, orthodontics, and advanced restorative dentistry. Experienced doctors can build on the skills they already bring while receiving support in areas they want to develop.

Our approach starts with providing care we would confidently recommend to our own families. We want doctors who exercise sound clinical judgment, communicate clearly with patients, and help their teams deliver excellent care.

What Dental Arts offers

• Annual earning potential of $250,000 to $500,000+, depending on production, schedule, and location
• Signing bonus and relocation assistance available
• Four day clinical schedules for most doctors
• Strong new patient flow and an established patient base
• Limited PPO participation and no DMOs
• Experienced clinical and administrative support teams
• Clinical autonomy, continuing education, and mentorship
• Opportunities to provide comprehensive and advanced dentistry
• Health insurance, dental benefits, 401(k), and professional development assistance

Our six established offices serve Catoosa, Locust Grove, Bixby, South Tulsa, Nowata, and Pryor. As we continue to expand, we are looking for our next associate dentist to help meet growing patient demand and build a lasting career with Dental Arts.

Who we hope to meet

We are especially interested in dentists with at least two years of clinical experience who are comfortable with comprehensive general dentistry and want to continue growing. Surgical, implant, endodontic, sedation, or orthodontic experience is welcome.

Clinical judgment, integrity, patient communication, and a commitment to ethical care matter most. Candidates must hold a DDS or DMD and have an active Oklahoma dental license or the ability to obtain one.

If you are considering a move, feeling limited in your current practice, or wondering whether your experience could be better rewarded, we would welcome the opportunity to talk.
