Help Serve Those Who Served
Frontera Search is seeking a licensed Dentist (DDS or DMD) to perform disability evaluations for U.S. Veterans. This is an examination-only position designed for providers looking to supplement their existing practice with a flexible, predictable schedule.
This is not a traditional clinical dentistry role. There are no treatment plans, procedures, restorative work, prescribing, or ongoing patient care. Your responsibility is to perform objective dental evaluations, document your findings, and complete standardized VA disability reports that support Veterans' disability claims.
The examiner does not determine disability ratings or benefits. All disability determinations are made by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
