Why You'll Love Working Here

Some practices talk about mentorship, but at this thriving, 100% fee-for-service practice in Olney, Illinois, it is a genuine commitment of time and resources. This is not a corporate office chasing production targets. Instead, it is a place where quality dentistry, teamwork, and shared success drive everything the team does. The practice serves a loyal patient base across a vast rural region, and its team is seasoned and stable, with many members having been here for decades, creating a highly collaborative and supportive environment.

The infrastructure is designed to let doctors focus on dentistry. The practice regularly invests in cutting-edge tools, including multiple mills, 3D printers, and lasers, so you have everything you need to deliver top-quality care. It is known for delivering big-city technology and care in a welcoming small-town setting, giving you the tools of a modern practice with the pace and warmth of a close-knit community.

Mentorship here is not lip service. You will be mentored by Dr. Trish Bookhout, the owner and a highly experienced clinician who personally invests in the growth of her team. You will also benefit from a $4,000 annual CE allowance and access to top-tier technology, and you'll be supported as you learn advanced procedures like bone grafting, cosmetics, and digital workflows.

With expansion plans underway, there is plenty of room to grow your career here, including the potential to explore future ownership opportunities as the practice continues to grow. This is a chance to build a long-term career in a stable, well-equipped practice that is deeply rooted in its community.

Olney, Illinois offers small-town living in a vast rural region, and the practice is looking for someone who is genuinely excited to be involved with the local community and its growth. If you value a slower, more deliberate pace of life paired with a modern, well-equipped practice, this is a place you can call home.

What We Value

• Quality and Precision – We believe in doing dentistry the right way: not rushed, not impersonal, but with care and precision. We believe in slowing down if necessary to do things right the first time rather than practicing drive-by dentistry.

• Teamwork and Mentorship – We prioritize teamwork, mentorship, and shared success. Our practice isn't just about lip service when it comes to mentorship — we're committed to your growth as a dentist and will put our time and resources into helping you succeed.

• Respect for Every Team Member – Every team member, from front desk to assistants to doctors, is respected, valued, and supported. We foster a culture where you can bring your best every day, knowing you're backed by a team that wants to see you thrive.

• Patient Trust and Long-Term Relationships – Patients here trust us deeply, and we honor that trust by focusing on exceptional outcomes and long-term relationships rather than high-pressure tactics.

What You'll Do

• Deliver High-Quality Restorative Dentistry – Provide precise, high-quality restorative care that patients can trust and rely on.

• Perform Extractions – Implant experience is optional, as training is provided.

• Learn Advanced Procedures – Grow into advanced procedures such as bone grafting, cosmetics, and digital workflows.

• Use Top-Tier Technology – Work with CBCT, a One Prime Mill, three Cerec MC XL mills, 3D printers, Primescan intraoral scanners, and Solea hard and soft tissue lasers.

• Build Patient Rapport – Deliver a gentle chairside manner that makes patients feel comfortable, understood, and cared for.

• Collaborate with a Seasoned Team – Work daily with a stable, collaborative team, many of whom have been with the practice for decades.

• Engage in Mentorship – Be mentored directly by Dr. Trish Bookhout as you sharpen your skills and expand your capabilities.

Compensation

• Paid on adjusted production

• Competitive daily guarantee of $1,000

• No insurance constraints — 100% fee-for-service practice

Benefits

We offer a benefits package designed to support your financial well-being, professional growth, and long-term security. Key offerings include:

• Monthly health insurance stipend

• 401(k) — automatic contribution, no matching required

• $4,000 annual CE allowance

• Relocation bonus of $5,000

• Mentorship with Dr. Bookhout

• Future ownership opportunities as the practice expands

Why This Job Stands Out

• True Fee-for-Service Freedom – As a 100% fee-for-service practice with no insurance constraints, you can practice dentistry the right way — not rushed, not impersonal — without being driven by insurance limitations.

• Big-City Technology in a Small-Town Setting – The practice regularly invests in cutting-edge tools, including CBCT, multiple mills, 3D printers, and lasers, ensuring you have everything you need to deliver top-quality care.

• Real Mentorship from an Invested Owner – Dr. Trish Bookhout, the owner, is a highly experienced clinician who personally invests in the growth of her team — mentorship here is a genuine commitment, not lip service.

• A Stable, Seasoned Team – Our team is seasoned and stable, with many members having been here for decades, creating a highly collaborative and supportive environment.

• Room to Grow – With expansion plans underway, there is plenty of room for you to grow your career here and even explore future ownership opportunities.

Who We're Looking For

Someone who is…

• Confident in restorative skills, delivering excellent clinical care that patients can trust and rely on.

• Strong in chairside manner, making patients feel comfortable, understood, and cared for.

• A continuous learner who is hungry to grow, sharpen their skills, and expand their capabilities.

• Driven by work ethic — motivated, reliable, and eager to contribute meaningfully to the team.

• Involved in the community, excited about being part of the local community and its growth.
