At LADD Dental Group, exceptional patient care starts with exceptional people. While technology, systems, and facilities all play an important role, nothing has a greater impact on a patient’s experience than the dental providers who care for them. That’s why dental provider recruitment is such a critical part of what we do every day.
Recruiting the right providers—dentists, hygienists, and clinical team members—is not simply about filling schedules. It’s about protecting quality, access, culture, and the long-term health of the communities we serve.
Patients Feel the Difference When Teams Are Fully Supported
When practices are understaffed or providers are stretched too thin, patients feel it. Appointments become harder to schedule, visits feel rushed, and continuity of care suffers.
By prioritizing recruitment, we ensure our practices are properly staffed so patients benefit from:
-
Timely access to care
-
Unrushed, attentive appointments
-
Consistent providers they know and trust
-
A calmer, more supportive clinical environment
Strong recruitment allows our providers to focus on delivering great dental care rather than simply keeping up.
A Changing Dental Workforce Requires a Proactive Approach
Dentistry is experiencing significant workforce challenges nationwide. Provider shortages, burnout, rising educational debt, and shifting expectations around work-life balance have changed how and where providers choose to practice.
At LADD Dental Group, we don’t take a reactive approach. We invest in recruitment early and intentionally, allowing us to:
-
Anticipate community growth and patient demand
-
Support providers before burnout occurs
-
Maintain stable care teams through transitions
-
Ensure long-term access to care in Indiana communities
Recruitment today is how we prevent access-to-care challenges tomorrow.
Recruitment Protects Our Culture and Standards of Care
Growth only works when it’s aligned with values. Bringing new providers into our organization is about far more than clinical skill—it’s about shared philosophy.
We recruit dental providers who believe in:
-
Patient-first, ethical dentistry
-
Team-based care and collaboration
-
Clear communication and trust
-
Continuous learning and improvement
By being selective in our recruitment, we protect the culture our teams and patients rely on and maintain consistent standards of care across every LADD Dental Group location.
Supporting Providers Beyond the Operatory
Another reason recruitment is so important is what happens after a provider joins LADD Dental Group.
We are structured to support providers so they can focus on patient care—not administrative burdens. Our centralized support helps with:
-
Scheduling and staffing support
-
HR, compliance, and training
-
Marketing and patient growth
-
Technology, equipment, and digital workflows
This provider-first approach makes LADD Dental Group a place where clinicians can build sustainable, fulfilling careers rather than feeling overwhelmed or isolated.
Recruitment Is an Investment in Our Communities
Every provider we recruit strengthens the health of the community they serve. Adequate provider coverage means:
-
More access to preventive care
-
Earlier diagnosis and treatment
-
Reduced emergency dental visits
-
Healthier outcomes for patients of all ages
Especially in smaller and growing Indiana communities, having the right dental providers in place can make a lasting difference in overall community health.
Looking to the Future
Dental provider recruitment is not a short-term tactic for LADD Dental Group—it is a foundational part of our mission. By attracting, developing, and supporting outstanding providers, we ensure our patients receive consistent, high-quality care today and well into the future.
Our commitment to recruitment reflects our commitment to people: our patients, our providers, and the Indiana communities we are proud to serve.
At LADD Dental Group, great dental care begins with great providers—and that’s why recruitment matters so much to us.
