Why You’ll Love Working Here

This is an incredible opportunity to join a thriving private practice with a fully scheduled patient base, a tight-knit and drama-free team, and a culture that values both clinical excellence and human connection. Dr. Tom Hoff has spent years establishing a reputation in Springfield, Missouri, as a trustworthy and down-to-earth provider who delivers high-quality dentistry. He’s ready to hand you the keys to a busy, high-functioning schedule on day one.

You won’t need to build from scratch. This role comes with a $1M+ book of business, meaning from day one, you will have a full patient schedule waiting for you, modern technology, and an expanded 12-operatory space that has been thoughtfully designed for optimal flow and comfort. You’ll have the clinical autonomy to do your best work and a support team that runs like clockwork, with experienced EFDAs, hygienists, and front office professionals who are trusted, respected, and here for the long haul.

This is more than just a job. It’s the kind of place where team members joke together between patients, support each other without drama, and genuinely enjoy coming to work. If you’re looking for a lighthearted, production-steady, people-first practice where you’ll be respected and trusted, this could be your forever home.

You’ll thrive here if you’re a clear communicator who builds trust with smart, discerning patients, someone who’s confident but not cocky, and a provider who believes in doing quality work the right way, every time. You’ll also have the chance to grow into ownership over time, with mentorship and support from a dentist who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

This isn’t the right opportunity for someone who prefers working alone, overlooks the value of the team, or sees patients as numbers rather than people. But if you’re looking for a practice that feels like family and works like a well-oiled machine, we’d love to talk.

Our Core Values

• Patient First, Always – We believe in doing what’s best for the patient every time with no pressure, no unnecessary upsells, just clear, honest care. Treatment decisions are guided by long-term health and trust, not production quotas. We take the time to explain, listen, and treat people like people.
  
• Respect the Team – Everyone in this office, from the EFDAs to the front desk, brings experience, insight, and value. We lean on each other, communicate with respect, and celebrate the fact that great dentistry is a team sport.
  
• Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously – We’re serious about excellent dentistry, but not about ourselves. Laughter is a regular part of the day, and we believe good energy is contagious.
  
• Loyalty & Trust – Patients stick with us for years because they trust us, and we work hard to earn that. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a full-mouth rehab, we prioritize relationships over shortcuts.
  
• Ethics Without Compromise – We uphold the highest standards of integrity, even when no one is watching. It’s about choosing honesty, fairness, and accountability—especially when it’s not easy.
  

What You’ll Do

• Deliver exceptional general dentistry, including crowns, fillings, extractions, and any advanced dentistry you choose to take on.
  
• Build patient trust through excellent communication and consistency.
  
• Collaborate with highly trained EFDAs and a strong hygiene team.
  
• Help grow the practice through care-driven decision-making.
  
  

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation: 30–33% of collections
  
• Daily Guarantee: $900/day
  
• CE Allowance
  
• Relocation Bonus
  
• 401(k) with 4% match
  
• All Restorative lab fees are covered
  
• Mentorship
  
  

Why This Job Stands Out

• Real mentorship on the business side of dentistry from a dentist who has successfully integrated multiple dental practices over the years while retaining high-quality team members.
  
• Springfield offers a lower cost of living than Kansas City or St. Louis, which means your income stretches further, without sacrificing lifestyle. You’ll enjoy access to outdoor adventures like Table Rock Lake and the Ozarks, plus attractions like Silver Dollar City, all while being just a short drive from major cities. It’s a vibrant, family-friendly community with big-name employers, great schools, and the kind of work-life balance that’s hard to beat.
  
• The practice has just completed a significant expansion, now featuring 12 operatories designed for efficiency and comfort. With modern technology and a well-oiled support team, you’ll have everything you need to produce quality dentistry without friction or burnout.

Who We’re Looking For
Someone who is:

• A clear, confident communicator who connects with all types of patients.
  
• Proficient in bread & butter dentistry and confident in the operatory.
  
• Humble, kind, and able to integrate into a strong team culture.
  
• Trustworthy and ready to handle autonomy with integrity.
  
• Emotionally intelligent and adaptable to different personalities.
