DENTISTS WANTED — Build the Career You Want at Light Dental Studios
Looking for mentorship, flexibility, and the freedom to practice dentistry your way?
Join Light Dental Studios — a doctor-owned, locally rooted dental group serving the Puget Sound since 1971. With 31 locations from Lynnwood to Olympia and nearly 60 dentists collaborating across every major dental specialty, we offer an environment where dentists can grow clinically, professionally, and financially.
Whether you’re a new graduate seeking mentorship or an experienced doctor looking for a supportive long-term home, Light Dental Studios is built to help dentists thrive.
Why Dentists Choose Light Dental Studios:
• Mentorship & Collaboration
Work alongside experienced dentists and specialists who genuinely enjoy teaching and supporting one another. New graduates gain real-world guidance without being left on an island.
• Freedom in Treatment Planning
We believe dentists should practice based on what’s best for patients — not production quotas or corporate pressure.
• Expand Your Skillset
From Invisalign and Straumann implants to advanced digital dentistry, doctors are encouraged to grow their clinical interests and pursue continuing education in a highly collaborative environment.
• Advanced Technology & Clinical Support
Practice with the latest technology and materials, including CBCT imaging, digital workflows, intraoral scanners, 3D printers, microscopes, lasers, WaveOne endodontics, Straumann implants, Invisalign, and more. Doctors also benefit from an in-house removable lab and direct collaboration with every major dental specialty, allowing for comprehensive patient care and continuous clinical growth. Supportive onboarding, structured mentorship and continued study club opportunities.

• Flexibility & Work-Life Balance
Multiple locations and scheduling options allow doctors to create a career that fits their goals and lifestyle.
• High Earning Potential with a Recognizable Brand
Doctors have the opportunity to earn $460,000+ through a competitive base salary and incentive compensation — without high-pressure production expectations so you can work at your own pace. New patients through extensive marketing for decades and long term loyal patients have built the foundation of success for our doctors.

• Outstanding Benefits
Comprehensive benefits include medical, vision, malpractice, life insurance, license coverage, 401(k) with up to 4% match, CE opportunities, and pathways to partnership.

Light Dental Studios has also been recognized as one of Washington’s Top 100 Places to Work, reflecting the positive and supportive culture we work hard to maintain.
If you’re looking for a place to build a meaningful, rewarding career in dentistry, we’d love to connect.

For consideration, please send your resume to Angie Dunn, DDS, COO at adunndds@lightdentalstudios.com

We have full time general dentists earning between $140,000 and over $460,000 annually with robust benefits available to include medical coverage, HSA, vision, life insurance, malpractice, license, 401k + match, partner level 1 and 2 opportunities for profit/equity share, CE, and more.
