About Us

Clear Lakes Dental is a full-spectrum dental group serving patients of all ages with nearly all insurance types. We’re growing fast, but not at the expense of our people. We believe in partnership, transparency, and the power of doing the right thing—for our patients, and for our team. We are expanding and building a brand new clinic in Mankato, MN and are looking for an amazing Dentist to join our team!

Straight Talk. Real Opportunities.

Let’s skip the fluff.

At Clear Lakes Dental, we’re building a new model. One where dentists aren’t just associates—they’re future owners.

What Makes Us Different?

• Path to Ownership: Tired of working hard to build someone else’s dream? We offer clear, structured, and supported opportunities for ownership. Whether it's buying into an existing clinic or becoming a lead partner in a new one, you’ll have real skin in the game.
• No Non-Compete Clauses: We’re not scared of competition. If we do right by you, we know you’ll want to grow with us.
• Transparent Compensation: Instead of a tricky compensation we are clear and concise - we start at a $180,000 guarantee and build from there (with welcome bonuses for select locations).
• Commission that Grows: Start at 30% of collections and grow by +2% every year up to 40%.
• Real Stability: Your salary stays guaranteed. No sudden drop-offs after six months.

The Ownership Track (This Is the Big One):

We’re actively working with dentists who want to move beyond the chair and into clinic leadership, autonomy, and long-term wealth-building.

Whether you want to:

• Become a partner in an existing Clear Lakes Dental location,
• Lead a new clinic in a high-opportunity market, or
• Transition into multi-location ownership,

—we’ve got the infrastructure, financial modeling, and mentorship to get you there.

It’s real. It’s happening. And it’s changing lives.

Perks & Benefits:

• Opportunity to be an owner dentist or an associate dentist
• $220K guaranteed base or 30%+ commission (whichever is higher)
• Paid time off + holidays
• Health insurance & 401K
• No evening or weekend hours
• $2,000 CE credit (We pay CE credits without ever touching your salary to do so)
• Malpractice insurance reimbursement
• In-house CPR, HIPAA, and BBP training (we bring the trainers in!)
• Free underground parking at select locations
• No Stress. No Drama. Just Dentistry.

Who We’re Looking For:

We need dentists who:

• Care about people
• Want to build something long-term
• Are efficient and ethical in clinical care
• Might be tired of being just a cog in someone else’s machine

Schedule & Compensation:

• Full-time or Part-time
• Hours: Monday-Friday 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
• Compensation Range: $220,000 – $370,000/year for associates (unlimited compensation potential for owners!)

If you’re ready to stop clocking in and start building something real—let’s talk.

Apply today. Or reach out directly. Let’s build your future together.
