Periodontist

Surgical Periodontist: Reno, Nevada
Reno, NV | Part-Time, 1–2 Days per Month to Start | Private Practice | Collections-Based
Love complex surgery? This role goes well beyond maintenance and routine implants. A confidential, dentist-owned group in Reno wants a surgically driven Periodontist to take on the advanced cases its pediatric and high-producing general dentists already generate: complex implants, fully impacted third molars, grafting and in-office IV sedation. Start with a day or two a month and grow from there.
The work
Complex implant placement and full-arch implant surgery
Surgical extraction of fully impacted third molars and other complex extractions
In-office IV sedation
Bone grafting, ridge augmentation, sinus augmentation and socket preservation
Soft tissue grafting, crown lengthening and periodontal surgery
Implant complication management
Appropriate cases are consolidated into dedicated, productive surgical days, and you decide which fit your scope.
The practice
100% dentist-owned and dentist-led: no private equity, no corporate bureaucracy
Built-in referrals from pediatric and general dentists inside the organization, so there's no network to build
Established offices with experienced clinical and administrative teams and advanced surgical case coordination
Strong clinical autonomy and collaborative relationships with referring doctors
Schedule and growth
About 1–2 clinical days per month to start, scheduled around your existing commitments
More days as demand grows
Leadership sees advanced surgical and periodontal services as a growth area. The right periodontist may add days, build a larger internal referral program, support more locations, set surgical protocols and explore long-term partnership.
What you need
DDS/DMD and an accredited periodontics residency
Board-certified or board-eligible preferred
A Nevada dental license and sedation permit, or the ability to obtain them
Advanced implant surgery, bone grafting and implant treatment planning experience
Demonstrated competency with complex surgical extractions and fully impacted third molars
Experience administering IV sedation in an office setting
Compensation
Collections-based, with significant daily earning potential depending on procedure mix and collections, and more upside as internal specialty referrals grow.
Why Reno
Minutes from the Sierra Nevada and about 40 miles from Lake Tahoe, with no Nevada state income tax, four seasons of recreation, easy access to Northern California and a growing market where advanced specialty skills are highly valued.
