When you’re just finishing up your fellowship or residency, it can be hard to know where to look for employment in a dental career. You want to be sure you’re applying to the right jobs for you, and finding job opportunities in private practices can sometimes be challenging. If you’re just finishing up your experience as a medical student and are looking to enter into the dental industry, here are a few tips for finding the right private dentist jobs to apply to.

  • Look within your network: If you’ve already had some experience out in the field through your residency or fellowship, chances are you already know a few trustworthy dentists, dental associates, and other dental personnel. Ask around within your network to see if anyone knows about any dental positions or dentist openings available near you. Word of mouth can be an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to finding employment.
  • Remember reputation: When you find a dental practice that appears to have dental opportunities available, remember to do your due diligence. Before applying to a practice or pursuing a career with companies that hire dentists, do your research online or by talking to trusted professionals. You might be surprised what you learn about someone’s practice, and it could keep you from entering into a less than ideal position.
  • Talk to other dental associates: Once you’ve chosen a practice and have decided to apply, don’t stop researching yet. Talk to other employees or dental associates that have worked with this dental practice in the past. Unlike doing research on your own, these resources will be able to tell you first-hand what to expect from your position there.
  • Take advantage of employment services: If all of this seems a bit overwhelming, it’s best to ask for help in screening potential practices. Overall employment of dentists is projected to grow 19% from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations, meaning there will be many listings to sort through.
    Dental hiring agencies can help you sort through private dentist jobs and help you select one that’s right for you.
