A dental group in the Northern Nevada region is seeking a general dentist for short-term locum coverage across three nearby practice locations. Final placement will be determined based on provider preference and practice needs.

This opportunity is ideal for a provider comfortable with routine general dentistry procedures in a well-supported, efficient clinical setting.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Restorative dentistry (composite fillings)

Not required:

• Root canals (endodontics not needed)
• Pediatric or orthodontic procedures

• BLS certification required
• Medicaid/Medicare enrollment preferred but not required

• Travel accommodations provided (lodging and mileage)

This is a bread-and-butter general dentistry role with a predictable daily schedule and strong clinical support. The provider being covered performs basic general dentistry procedures, with no endodontic requirements.
