Description:
Great Orthodontics. A Great Team. And an Opportunity Worth Making a Move For.
Your next opportunity should give you more than a place to practice.
It should give you patients to care for, a respected doctor to collaborate with, a team behind you, strong earning potential, and room to build the career you want.
Dr. Richard J. White and White Orthodontics are looking for a talented, personable Associate Orthodontist to join our established practices in O’Fallon and Florissant, Missouri. And we’re making the opportunity even more compelling with a $50,000 sign-on bonus for the right doctor. With an established patient base and experienced teams already in place, you can step into a busy practice and begin making an impact—without spending years trying to build from the ground up.
Whether you’re an experienced orthodontist looking for your next professional home or an upcoming graduate ready to launch your career with the right practice, White Orthodontics offers an opportunity to grow without going it alone.
Why White Orthodontics?
There’s a big difference between finding an orthodontist position and finding a practice where you can see yourself building a career. At White Orthodontics, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Richard J. White, care for an established patient population, and join teams that are committed to providing an exceptional experience for patients and families.
You’ll also have something that’s increasingly difficult to find:
The resources of a larger organization without losing the feel and relationships of a local orthodontic practice.
White Orthodontics is supported by Southern Orthodontic Partners, allowing our doctors to spend more of their time practicing orthodontics while experienced teams provide support across operations, marketing, recruiting, HR, finance, and other administrative areas. You focus on your patients and your career. We’ll help support everything around you.
Four Days to Build Your Career. Three Days to Enjoy Your Life.
A successful orthodontic career shouldn’t mean giving up everything outside of it.
This is a full-time, four-day-per-week opportunity, giving you the ability to build a rewarding clinical career while maintaining meaningful time away from the office. You’ll practice across our O’Fallon and Florissant locations, providing greater access to care while becoming an important part of the communities we serve.
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out:
$50,000 Sign-On Bonus
We’re serious about finding the right orthodontist—and we’re prepared to invest in bringing that doctor to White Orthodontics.
Established Patient Base
Step into practices where patients are already coming through the doors, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent care and building relationships from day one.
Competitive Earning Potential
Our compensation structure combines a competitive per-diem rate with a production bonus program, giving you the opportunity to benefit from the success you help create.
Long-Term Investment Opportunity
For doctors who want to think beyond their annual compensation, eligible doctors may have the opportunity to participate in a long-term investment and wealth-building vehicle.
A Schedule Designed for Sustainability
Build a full-time career around a four-day clinical schedule.
Experienced Doctor Collaboration
Work alongside Dr. Richard J. White and benefit from the perspective and collaboration that comes with joining an established practice.
Support Without the Administrative Burden
Practice orthodontics while dedicated teams help support many of the nonclinical demands that can consume a doctor’s time.
What You’ll Bring to White Orthodontics
We’re not simply looking for someone who can treat cases.
We’re looking for a doctor patients will trust, parents will recommend, and team members will enjoy working alongside.
Someone who brings energy to the practice and takes pride in both the clinical result and the experience that gets the patient there.
You’ll be successful here if you:
-
Put patients and families at the center of your decisions
-
Communicate in a way that builds confidence and trust
-
Enjoy being part of a collaborative, high-performing team
-
Bring strong clinical judgment and a commitment to excellent outcomes
-
Are adaptable and comfortable working across two locations
-
Want to continue learning and developing professionally
-
Bring a positive, solutions-oriented approach to the practice
-
Want to contribute to the continued growth of White Orthodontics
-
Value autonomy while appreciating the benefits of a strong support system
Your Career Can Grow Here
Maybe you’re finishing residency and looking for a practice where you can develop confidence with the support of an established doctor. Maybe you’ve been practicing for several years and are ready for a better environment, stronger opportunity, or more sustainable schedule. Or maybe you’re looking for a career path that offers something beyond simply collecting a paycheck.
There’s room for each of those conversations at White Orthodontics.
We believe the best doctor relationships are built for the long term, and we’re interested in understanding what you want your career to become—not just filling an opening.
