The Right Position by Design
Locum Tenens is an ideal option for dentists who would like to continue working, but just not full time. Perhaps you're winding down a practice, but still want to keep your clinical skills active. Or, maybe you'd like some part-time work to augment your retirement income. Or, maybe you still want to practice, but also travel and see the country.
As a Locum Tenens with Affordable Dentures practices, you design your own schedule, working as much or as little as you'd like. Whenever you do work, you'll receive a guaranteed daily compensation, as well as paid travel, housing and transportation expenses. And, very importantly, you'll choose where and when you want to work, selecting from hundreds of Affordable Dentures practices all across the country.
Practice with a Purpose
An Affordable Dentures practice offers a unique business model, but it is also a mission. You will work in a practice that is primarily oriented to serving low-income and elderly patients, with services focused on removable prosthetics, tooth extractions, and minimally invasive implants.
While total tooth loss is declining, there is a wide disparity among socio-economic groups. Lower-income individuals continue to suffer disproportionately. This patient population has been vastly underserved, largely because of the cost of treatment in traditional general dentistry practices. In addition, more than 45 million Americans currently wear some type of removable prosthesis, and recent studies have found that the average denture is over 15 years old. By offering a less expensive option, Affordable Dentures practices are reaching out to meet the needs of this deserving and appreciative patient population.

Questions Anyone?
How much does a Locum Tenens position pay?
You will receive a guaranteed daily rate. Plus, all of your assignment expenses would be paid by the practice, such as transportation and housing.
Can I make a percentage of production?
No. Because each dentist is involved with the same patients at various times during the treatment and delivery process, it is impossible to pay a single dentist a percentage of production.
Will you help with license cost and upkeep?
Yes.
Who do I work for – Affordable Care Inc. (ACI) or the practice owner?
You would be an employee of the dental practice and the practice owner, not Affordable Care.
How much work do you have available?
If you are willing to obtain additional licenses, there are a lot of opportunities available based upon our large network of practices.
