Dentist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a dentist in Colorado?

To become a licensed dentist in Colorado, you must graduate from a dental school accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, then pass the National Board Dental Examinations and a clinical examination accepted by the Colorado Dental Board. You apply for licensure directly through the Colorado Dental Board, which also requires a background check and proof of CPR certification. Colorado participates in regional clinical exam programs, which expands your testing options.

How much do dentists make in Colorado?

Dentists in Colorado earn a median of about $166,240 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $84,590 for the lowest 10% to over $229,070 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire dentists in Colorado?

Colorado dentist roles are posted by PDS Health, Enable Dental, and Comprehensive Mobile Care and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's mix of DSO groups, federally qualified health centers, and large integrated health systems means openings appear across both urban clinics and rural community health settings throughout the state.

Which Colorado cities have the most dentist jobs?

Denver, Colorado Springs, and Greeley have the most dentist openings in Colorado. Denver's density of DSO networks, hospital-affiliated dental programs, and community health centers drives the largest share of postings, while Colorado Springs and Aurora generate consistent demand through growing suburban populations and the presence of military-affiliated healthcare facilities and regional dental group practices.

Are there remote dentist jobs in Colorado?

Yes, but they're rare. Dentistry is a hands-on clinical profession, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 0% of dentist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve tele-dentistry consultations, dental case review, or clinical oversight rather than direct chair-side treatment.

How can I get hired as a dentist in Colorado with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path for new dentists in Colorado is an associate dentist position at a DSO or community health center, where structured mentorship and higher patient volume help build clinical confidence quickly. Employers such as Clinica Family Health and Denver Health operate programs that regularly bring on new graduates. Completing a general practice residency, which several Colorado hospital systems offer, strengthens your application considerably and can substitute for private-practice experience in competitive markets.

Where can I find and apply to dentist jobs in Colorado?

You can find and apply to dentist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings from dental groups, community health centers, and health systems across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
