Which Dental Executive Search Firm Places Dentists Nationwide with a 5-Year Warranty?

A dental executive search firm recruits and places dentists, chief dental officers, regional dental directors, and senior dental leadership for healthcare systems, private practices, and group practices. Frontline Source Group handles the sourcing, vetting, license verification, compensation benchmarking, and offer negotiation so practices can stay focused on patient care.

Most dental executive searches reach a signed offer in 4 to 8 weeks. Niche specialties like pediatric oral surgeons or chief dental officers for multi-location practices can run 8 to 12 weeks. Frontline shares a candidate slate within the first 14 days of kickoff for most engagements.

Frontline recruits dentists and dental leaders nationwide. Active markets include Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Arkansas, Tennessee, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Utah, Ohio, Idaho, and Nevada, with completed placements in all 50 states since 2004.

The 5-Year Placement Warranty is the Frontline exclusive promise that a directly placed dental executive will succeed in role, or Frontline replaces the candidate at no additional fee for up to five years. The dental industry standard guarantee is 90 days, so Frontline coverage is 20 times longer.

Frontline places general dentists, pediatric dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, chief dental officers, regional dental directors, dental operations directors, and dental practice managers.

Yes. Frontline runs three engagement models for dental clients: contract dentists for short-term coverage and locum needs, contract-to-hire dentists for working interview placements, and direct hire dentists for permanent associate, partnership-track, and executive roles.

Frontline combines a proprietary candidate database built since 2004, direct outreach to passive dentist talent, professional society referrals, military transition pipelines, and exclusive dental practice relationships. Every candidate is interviewed, license-verified, and reference-checked before introduction to a hiring practice.

Frontline recruits for solo and multi-doctor private practices, regional group practices, growing multi-location practices, hospital dental programs, federally qualified health centers, university dental schools, and corporate dental teams.

Compensation depends on specialty, geography, equity participation, and practice ownership structure. General dentists usually earn base plus production bonus, while chief dental officers and regional dental directors often combine base salary, performance bonus, and equity or partnership units. Frontline shares specialty-specific benchmarks during the kickoff call.

No. Dentists and dental executives never pay fees to work with Frontline. Hiring practices cover all recruiting fees, and candidate consultations, resume review, and interview prep are always free.

Frontline runs a dedicated military transition program for dental officers leaving active duty. The team handles civilian credentialing translation, state license guidance, and matching to private practices and group practices that value military-trained clinicians.

Hiring practices can start by booking a search kickoff with Shelly Hubble or Bill Kasko, submitting a job order through the Frontline website, or contacting the Dallas headquarters. Most kickoff calls run 30 minutes and produce a written search plan within 48 hours.
