About the job

Associate Dentist - $200K-$240K+ | 4-Day Workweek

Lindgren Dental Care | Cottage Grove, MN

Four-Day Workweek | $200K-$240K+ Earning Potential | Implant Mentorship | Same-Day Dentistry | Future Ownership

Want to Do More Than Bread-and-Butter Dentistry?

At Lindgren Dental Care, we're looking for a dentist who wants to stay busy, keep getting better, and build a career that can eventually lead somewhere bigger than an associate role.

You'll step into an established practice with patients already in the chairs, an experienced owner doctor who enjoys mentoring, and technology that allows you to practice modern, comprehensive dentistry.

And you'll do it on a four-day workweek.

Here's What Makes This One Worth a Look

  • $200,000-$240,000+ realistic annual earning potential
  • Four-day clinical workweek
  • Established patient base with steady new-patient flow
  • Quick ramp-up with immediate opportunity to produce
  • Hands-on implant mentorship from an experienced owner doctor
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • PPO practice with established systems and team
  • CBCT and digital scanners
  • CEREC same-day crowns
  • iTero
  • 3D printing
  • Diode laser
  • Opportunity to expand into more advanced procedures
  • Future partnership and ownership potential

Patients, technology, mentorship, earning potential and three days away from the office every week.

That's a pretty good combination.

Come Here to Grow, Not Just Fill a Schedule.

If you're early in your career, you don't need to arrive knowing how to do everything.

What matters is that you want to learn.

You'll have the opportunity to strengthen your comprehensive treatment planning and restorative skills while gaining additional exposure to implant dentistry and advanced procedures with support from an experienced owner doctor.

Already experienced?

You'll have the technology, patient base and autonomy to put your skills to work immediately.

The Technology Is Actually Here.

"Modern office" gets thrown around a lot in dental job ads.

Here's what you'll actually have access to:

CBCT. Digital scanners. iTero. CEREC. Same-day crowns. 3D printing. Diode laser.

If you enjoy digital dentistry and want to continue expanding what you can offer patients without referring everything out, you'll have the tools to do it.

And This Doesn't Have to End With Associate.

We're looking for someone who could become an important part of Lindgren Dental Care for years to come.

For the right dentist, there is an opportunity to explore future partnership and ownership .

Join the practice. Build your patient base. Grow clinically. Learn the business. And if ownership is part of your long-term plan, there's room for that conversation here.

Who Are We Hoping to Find?

Someone who cares about patients, enjoys comprehensive dentistry, works well with a team, and still has things they want to accomplish in their career.

You don't need to check every clinical box.

You do need to be motivated, coachable, relationship-focused, and interested in building something long term.

Four Days of Dentistry. Three Days for Everything Else.

A successful dental career shouldn't require giving up your entire week.

At Lindgren Dental Care, you can build toward $200K-$240K+ in annual earnings , continue developing clinically, work with advanced technology, and potentially create a path toward ownership - all on a four-day schedule .

If that sounds like the direction you want your career to go, we'd love to meet you.

Apply today to start a conversation with Lindgren Dental Care.
