Periodontist OR Surgery-Focused GP (Part-Time) Multi-Site NM

One Travel Week Per Month | Grants + Gallup + Farmington | High Surgical Demand | Dedicated Surgical Setups

If you re based in Albuquerque and want a role that s surgery-forward, predictable, and built for efficiency, this is it.

We re launching a specialty/surgical program across three established New Mexico practices and hiring either a Periodontist or a surgery-focused General Dentist to lead it. You ll have blocked surgical days, dedicated operatories, and a ready-made referral base without internal specialist competition.


The Big Win

Work it like this: one scheduled travel week per month (4 clinical days total).
Stable rhythm. High volume. Minimal admin friction.


Monthly Schedule (Stackable)

  • Grants 1 day/month

  • Gallup 2 days/month

  • Farmington 1 day/month


Albuquerque-Based Logistics (Easy Drives)

  • Grants Albuquerque: ~1 hr 15 min

  • Gallup Albuquerque: ~2 hr 5 min

  • Farmington Albuquerque: ~3 hr

Travel and overnights can be coordinated so your week runs smoothly.


Air Travel Access (for Out-of-Town Providers)

Albuquerque is an easy hub for monthly travel:

  • Daily flights: Denver Albuquerque

  • Daily flights: Phoenix Albuquerque

  • Daily flights: Las Vegas Albuquerque

Regional access within New Mexico:

  • Farmington Denver via United (Daily)

  • Gallup Las Vegas via Advanced Air (Mon/Wed/Fri)

  • Gallup Phoenix via Advanced Air (Weekdays)


Who We re Hiring (Two Great Fits)

  • Periodontist, OR

  • Surgery-focused GP who wants a consistent surgical lane

Medicaid reality (and why it matters): these communities have a high Medicaid member ratio and reimbursement is the same whether you re a GP or a residency-trained surgical specialist on those plans. If you re surgically strong and efficient, you can thrive here.


Clinical Focus (What You ll Do)

  • Surgical extractions (including third molars)

    • If doing impacted thirds with sedation: IV sedation certification required

  • Implant dentistry

    • Gallup + Grants are placing now

    • Farmington is a growth opportunity (currently refers out)

  • Option to expand into grafting, membranes, sinus lifts, regenerative procedures


Built for Surgical Flow

  • 2+ dedicated surgical operatories on specialty days

  • CBCT in Gallup + Farmington (Grants refers to Gallup)

  • Surgical/implant instrumentation provided

  • Trained support staff (with more training as volume grows)


Compensation & Structure

  • Competitive collections-based

  • No lab/supply fees with in-formulary vendors

  • Flexible setup: W-2, 1099, or contractor

If you want a predictable surgery week every month and you like being the go-to surgical provider apply.
