Locum General Dentist – West Central Texas

An established, privately operated, fee-for-service dental practice in West Central Texas is seeking an experienced General Dentist for an immediate locum tenens opportunity. This assignment offers an initial 3-month commitment with a consistent Monday–Thursday schedule, providing an excellent work-life balance and a supportive clinical environment.

The practice offers a manageable patient volume, with approximately 8 operative patients scheduled per day in one-hour blocks, in addition to routine hygiene checks. This is not a high-volume, fast-paced environment, allowing the dentist to focus on quality patient care and thorough treatment.

The incoming dentist will primarily provide general and restorative dentistry while helping complete several existing treatment cases, including implant restorations and removable prosthodontics. There are a few implant-related cases already in progress that will need to be addressed. Familiarity with clear aligner treatment is a plus, although the practice is not looking to initiate any new clear aligner cases during this assignment.

The office is fully digital, utilizing digital X-rays and an iTero scanner, and features six operatories. The dentist will be supported by an established team consisting of 2–3 hygienists daily, one Dental Assistant, and an Office Manager.
