General Dentist

 Spectrum Healthcare Resources is actively hiring a General Dentist to join our team at Naval Station Great Lakes—the Navy’s largest training installation—located on the beautiful North Shore of Chicago.

Location: Naval Station Great Lakes – Waukegan, IL (just north of Chicago)
Status: Independent Contractor (1099) – Personal Services Contract

Whether you’re a seasoned provider or a recent graduate from an accredited dental program, this role offers a chance to practice with purpose in a fully supported clinical setting. This is an exceptional opportunity to practice dentistry in a mission-driven, fully supported environment, providing care to the nation’s military personnel in a stable, respectful clinical setting.

🔹 Why This Role Stands Out:

• No Malpractice Insurance Needed – You’re covered by the federal government as part of a personal services contract

• Work-Life Balance – Enjoy a consistent Monday–Friday schedule with no call, weekends, or holidays

• Make an Impact – Provide care to active-duty service members in a way that truly supports their mission

• Supportive Setting – Work alongside skilled dental hygienists and assistants in a well-equipped federal clinic

• 1099 Contract – Enjoy the flexibility and autonomy of an independent contractor role

✅ Qualifications:

• DDS or DMD from a program accredited by the Council on Dental Accreditation (ADA)

• Active, unrestricted license to practice dentistry in any U.S. state or territory

• Minimum of 12 months of experience as a General Dentist within the last 36 months
  (New grads from accredited programs are welcome to apply!)

• Completion of at least 12 hours of continuing dental education

This role offers a rare combination: clinical autonomy, a predictable schedule, and the chance to serve those who serve our country—all without the burden of overhead or malpractice coverage.

📩 Apply now to bring your skills to a role that’s both professionally rewarding and personally meaningful.
