This is an opportunity to help address oral health disparities in a rural population—providing high-quality, patient-centered care to individuals and families who rely on us as their dental home. You'll be joining a strong, established care team, including an experienced dental hygienist with 17 years of expertise and a supportive, skilled clinical and administrative team committed to patient care and teamwork. If you enjoy the outdoors, Strong and surrounding areas are the place for you.

In addition, Strong has a high-need dental HPSA designation (score of 22) supporting strong eligibility for federal scholar and loan repayment programs. We offer competitive compensation. You will be able to design a benefit program that fits your needs from choices including health, dental, and vision insurances as well as short- and long-term disability coverage. The selected candidate will receive a continuing annual education allowance of $1750, 36 hours of self-directed paid CE time, malpractice coverage, paid time off of 245 hours (6.8 weeks) annually, pension plan with employer match, and relocation expense reimbursement as well as a new hire sign-on bonus. The salary range for this role is $67,500-$88,600 with the potential for a bonus based on quality incentives and potential bonuses for visit volume and team quality outcomes.
