Job Description
General Dentist | Four-Day Workweek | Eastern Washington
\nIf you enjoy broad-scope dentistry but want more predictability than a traditional production-driven practice, this Eastern Washington opportunity offers a four-day week, no call, and a $160,000–$200,000 base with meaningful incentive upside. Choose between an established, busy clinic in the Columbia Basin or a newer integrated practice in the Tri-Cities area, both backed by a stable team and a mission centered on access to care.
\n· Four-day schedule, generally 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
\n· No call, regular weekends, or holiday clinic coverage.
\n· Approximately 16–26 completed patient visits per clinical day.
\n· Patient mix is approximately 60% adults and 40% children.
\n· Broad procedures include restorative care, extractions, endodontics, and dentures.
\n· Collaborative dental and interdisciplinary teams support coordinated patient care.
\n· Established-site option includes 20 operatories and Dentrix.
\n· Additional clinical pathways may include pediatrics, orthodontics, or implants after approved training and credentialing.
\n· Base salary: $160,000–$200,000 annually.
\n· Productivity: $30 per encounter above 3,200 annual encounters; current providers have historically averaged approximately $45,000–$60,000 in annual incentive earnings on top of base.
\n· Recruitment support: $25,000 sign-on bonus and $10,000 relocation assistance.
\n· Student loans: $500 per month in employer support, plus potential eligibility for state or national loan-repayment programs.
\n· Time away and CME: 24 PTO days, nine paid holidays, 40 CME hours, and a $2,500 CME allowance.
\n· Professional coverage: Malpractice insurance and support for license, dues, and subscriptions.
\n· Health and protection: Medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, disability coverage, FSA, and EAP.
\n· Retirement: 100% match up to 4% with day-one vesting, plus a possible discretionary 4% non-elective contribution.
\n· DDS or DMD from an accredited dental program.
\n· Active Washington dental license, or ability to obtain it before practice.
\n· DEA registration.
\n· Current CPR certification, or ability to obtain it in the required timeframe.
\n· Required AIDS education, or ability to complete it in the required timeframe.
\n· Sound clinical judgment and ability to practice to ADA standards.
\n· Clear written and verbal communication with patients and care teams.
\n· Spanish is helpful but is not listed as a required qualification.
\n· A close-knit, family-oriented community with a relaxed daily pace.
\n· Housing and everyday living can offer more purchasing power than larger Washington metros; candidates should compare current costs for their household.
\n· Nearby lakes, reservoirs, and public lands support fishing, boating, hiking, hunting, and birding.
\n· The region’s dry, sunny climate creates a long outdoor season.
\n· Regional shopping, dining, and services are available in Moses Lake and the Tri-Cities, with Seattle and Spokane accessible for longer weekends.
\n· Strong agricultural roots, multicultural community events, and local traditions create a distinctive sense of place.
