Roles We Place
Every leadership role in dental organizations.
We place every executive, operational, and corporate leadership role across DSOs, dental groups, and multi-site dental platforms nationwide.
Chief Executive Officer / CEO
Executive leaders for DSOs and dental ownership groups who drive strategy, culture, and long-term organizational performance across multi-site dental platforms.
Regional Director of Operations
Multi-site operators who manage portfolios of dental practices, drive performance, and develop the practice-level leaders beneath them.
Chief Operating Officer / COO
Operational executives who translate DSO strategy into practice-level results — managing multi-site performance, developing regional leaders, and scaling dental platforms.
Chief Dental Officer / CDO
Clinical executives who set dental quality standards, oversee provider performance, and ensure clinical excellence across the organization.
VP of Operations
Senior operational leaders for growing dental platforms who scale systems, develop site-level talent, and translate ownership goals into practice-level results.
Director of Operations
Practice-level operational leaders who manage day-to-day operations, staff, compliance, and patient experience across single or multi-site dental organizations.
Director of Corporate Development
Business development leaders who drive DSO growth through acquisitions, de novo openings, partnerships, and new market expansion — a critical hire for scaling dental platforms.
Revenue Cycle & Technology Leadership
Director-level roles overseeing the business infrastructure of a DSO — including revenue cycle management, Salesforce administration, technology systems, and operational compliance.
Every stage of the search is handled with precision, urgency, discretion, and deep industry insight.
How We Work
Step 1 • Understanding Your Organization
Every dental organization operates differently. Before outreach begins, we take the time to understand your operational model, growth stage, PE structure, culture, and what you need in your next leader.
Step 2 • Targeted Outreach
We reach out directly to experienced dental executives not actively on the market — DSO operators, corporate development leaders, and regional directors who are highly regarded in the field and open to the right opportunity.
Step 3 • Rigorous Candidate Evaluation
Every candidate is evaluated on leadership ability, multi-site operational experience, corporate development track record, and cultural fit for your organization.
Step 4 • Support Through Hire
Premier Search stays closely involved through the entire hiring process — scheduling, references, offer coordination, and transition support included.
“My goal has never been to fill a vacancy. It has been to secure the leadership that defines the quality of care.”
Why Premier Search
Why dental organizations choose us
Decades of Dental Executive Placement
Premier Search has been placing dental executives for decades — long before DSOs became the dominant model in dentistry. We know this space, we know the players, and we know exactly who to call.
The best DSO executives and corporate development leaders are already running someone else's platform. We reach them through direct relationships built over decades in this industry.
Access to Candidates Not on the Market
Full Confidentiality from Day One
PE-backed restructuring, planned leadership transitions, and sensitive organizational changes require discretion. We treat every search that way from the first conversation.
Speed and Precision
3 to 7 days to qualified candidates. Not because we cut corners — because we know exactly who to call. The search starts the day you engage us.
