Dentist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a dentist in Massachusetts?

To practice dentistry in Massachusetts you must hold an active license issued by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry. Candidates need a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from an accredited dental school, passage of the National Board Dental Examinations, and a clinical licensing examination accepted by the Board. Many employers also expect completion of a general practice residency before hiring into an independent clinical role.

How much do dentists make in Massachusetts?

Dentists in Massachusetts earn a median of about $181,600 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $101,470 for the lowest 10% to over $417,670 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire dentists in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring dentists in Massachusetts right now include Passion Dental, Benevis, and PDS Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense network of community health centers, federally qualified health centers, and major academic medical systems means both private-practice groups and large institutional employers post openings throughout the year.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most dentist jobs?

The cities with the most dentist openings in Massachusetts are Boston, Worcester, and Chelsea. Boston dominates because of its concentration of academic medical centers, large group practices, and community health organizations, while Worcester and Springfield draw consistent hiring from regional health systems and federally qualified health centers that serve sizable underserved populations.

Are there remote dentist jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're rare. Dentistry is a hands-on clinical profession, so the overwhelming majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 0% of dentist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve dental consulting, utilization review, or tele-dentistry triage rather than direct restorative or surgical work.

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

The most realistic entry path is completing a general practice residency at a Massachusetts hospital or health system, such as those affiliated with Boston Medical Center, UMass Memorial Medical Center, or Cambridge Health Alliance, which routinely accept new dental school graduates. Community health centers across the state also hire associate dentists with limited experience, particularly for underserved-area roles. Holding a current Massachusetts dental license and CPR certification before applying gives candidates a meaningful edge over those still awaiting credentialing.

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

You can find and apply to dentist jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your credentials and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
