Periodontist
Oral Surgeon or Surgical Periodontist 1 Day per Month
Oklahoma City Metro, OK | Contract / 1099 | Friday or Saturday, once a month
A well-run, owner-operated private general practice in the Oklahoma City metro is adding one dedicated surgical day each month. The owner is looking for an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon or a surgically oriented Periodontist who is current and comfortable with IV sedation, implant placement, and surgical extraction of impacted third molars.
This is a clean add-on day, not a full-time associateship. The practice runs general dentistry on weekdays and is available Friday or Saturday for a visiting specialist. Choose one Friday per month or one Saturday per month. The owner will work with your calendar.
The work
- IV sedation cases
- Dental implant placement (single-unit and multi-unit; grafting as indicated)
- Surgical extraction of impacted third molars
- Related hard-tissue procedures that fit a one-day surgical block
Cases will be pre-screened by the general dentist so the day is scheduled, not scavenged.
The practice
- Owner-operated private GP not a DSO
- 5 operatories
- 1 general dentist + 1 highly productive hygienist with assisted hygiene
- Oryx practice management software
- Vatech PaX-i3D Smart 3D imaging on site (pano + 3D volume for implant and surgical planning)
- Established patient base with surgical demand the owner does not want leaving the practice
How you can work your choice
- Turnkey / guest doctor: Bring your own surgical assistant(s), equipment, and supplies. Use the operatories and imaging.
- Practice-supported: The practice provides assisting staff, room, and supplies.
- Hybrid: Common when you want your own assistant and the practice stocks disposables and implants.
Schedule
- One day per month to start
- Friday or Saturday candidate s choice
- Room to grow the day or add a second day if the book fills
- No evenings; no weekday GP-schedule conflict
What you need
- DDS or DMD
- Completed OMFS residency or Periodontics residency with a current surgical implant and impacted-third practice
- Unrestricted Oklahoma dental license, or willingness to obtain one before the first day
- Current DEA and Oklahoma CDS as required for IV sedation
- Documented, current competency in IV moderate/deep sedation in an outpatient dental setting
- Active implant practice (systems flexible; disclose what you place)
- Comfortable surgically removing full-bony and partial-bony impacted third molars
- Malpractice coverage appropriate to IV sedation and implant surgery (or ability to add a rider for this location)
Nice to have
- Board certification (ABOMS or ABP)
- Existing OKC-metro or regional presence
- Comfortable in Oryx, or willing to work from an exported surgical schedule
- Interest in a longer-term visiting-specialist relationship
Compensation
Flexible and discussed with qualified candidates. Daily guarantee, collections split, or a hybrid depending on whether you staff and supply the day yourself.
