The Dental Placement Site was created with the intent to connect dental practices with dental professionals who are seeking employment or practice acquisition.  The Dental Placement Services website is maintained by UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry’s Department of Continuing Dental Education. Dental Placement Services are available to dentists, dental hygienists, and oral health students.

Dr. Scott Stafford, Director Continuing Dental Education and Director of Practice Management Programs at UT Health San Antonio, is the contact person to collect and distribute job and resident opportunities, review contracts, and help with resume preparation. Information is sent from practicing dentists, specialty and resident programs, institutions, public health agencies and the military. These listings are available to anyone searching for job and practice opportunities. Opportunities are updated as received and students and residents are made aware of posted opportunities.

In order to post an opportunity please go to the Post an Opportunity page and fill out all information requested on the form. Once the information is submitted, please follow directions to complete the secure online payment. We also offer an option to pay by check. (Please email Smile@uthscsa.edu to get mailing instructions). To defray the cost of upkeep and maintenance we charge $75 for each opportunity posted. An opportunity will not be listed until payment is received. Each listing will remain active for three months or until notification is received that the position has been filled.

Opportunities may include positions for dental providers, dental hygienists, general dentistry or specialty practices. Opportunities posted may include employment, buy-in/ buy-out as well as Practice sales.

There is no fee assessed for searching opportunities.
