Staff recruitment and retention have become the number one concern for dentists in 2025, according to the American Dental Association. Across the country, practices are feeling the pressure of a shrinking labor pool, increased competition for talent, and burnout among clinical and administrative team members.
At LADD Dental Group, we believe dentists should be able to focus on what they do best — providing exceptional patient care — not constantly worrying about hiring, turnover, or staffing gaps. That’s why we’ve built systems, support, and a culture specifically designed to help our dentists recruit great people and keep them long‑term.
A Centralized Recruiting Advantage
One of the biggest challenges for individual practices is time. Recruiting, screening, interviewing, and onboarding can quickly pull dentists away from patients and production.
We help solve this by offering:
Centralized recruiting support that actively sources candidates
Professional job postings and employer branding
Pre‑screening of candidates so doctors meet quality applicants
Faster hiring timelines to reduce understaffing stress
This allows our dentists to participate in hiring decisions without carrying the full burden of the process.
Competitive Compensation & Benefits at Scale
Retention starts with feeling valued. As a growing dental group, we’re able to offer:
Competitive wages aligned with market trends
Comprehensive benefits packages
Opportunities for full‑time stability across multiple locations
Clear paths for raises, advancement, and leadership roles
Team members know they are joining something stable, supportive, and growing — which significantly reduces turnover.
A Culture That Prioritizes People
Burnout is one of the hidden drivers behind staffing shortages. We work intentionally to build a culture where both dentists and team members can thrive.
That includes:
Realistic schedules and support for work‑life balance
Strong leadership presence and communication
Respect for every role in the practice
A team‑first mentality where dentists are supported, not isolated
Happy teams stay longer — and patients feel the difference.
Training, Growth & Career Development
Many dental professionals leave practices not because of pay, but because they don’t see a future.
We invest in:
Ongoing training and continuing education
Cross‑training opportunities for assistants and front office teams
Mentorship and leadership development
Exposure to advanced dentistry and modern technology
By helping team members grow their skills and careers, we help our dentists retain motivated, engaged staff.
Operational Support That Reduces Stress
Staffing challenges are magnified when systems are inefficient. Our dentists benefit from:
Centralized HR and compliance support
Technology and workflows that reduce administrative burden
Clear processes and expectations across practices
When systems run smoothly, teams experience less frustration — and dentists avoid the constant cycle of rehiring.
Why This Matters for Our Dentists
The ADA’s 2025 data confirms what many dentists already feel: staffing is the biggest challenge facing the profession today. We see it not as an unavoidable problem, but as an opportunity to lead differently.
By surrounding our dentists with recruiting expertise, operational support, and a people‑first culture, we help them:
Spend more time with patients
Build stable, reliable teams
Reduce burnout and stress
Create practices where people want to work — and stay
Looking Ahead
Dentistry is changing, but one thing remains constant: great teams create great patient experiences. At LADD Dental Group, we’re committed to supporting our dentists not just clinically, but professionally — especially in the areas that matter most in today’s environment.
If you’re a dentist looking for a practice model that truly supports recruitment, retention, and long‑term success, we’d love to connect.
