Dentist Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a dentist in Virginia?
To become a licensed dentist in Virginia, you must complete an accredited dental program, pass the National Board Dental Examinations, and pass a clinical examination accepted by the Virginia Board of Dentistry, which oversees all dental licensure in the state. After passing those exams, you submit an application to the Virginia Board of Dentistry along with verification of your credentials. Graduates of international dental programs must meet additional evaluation requirements before applying.
How much do dentists make in Virginia?
Dentists in Virginia earn a median of about $197,110 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $105,400 for the lowest 10% to over $321,250 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire dentists in Virginia?
Employers hiring dentists in Virginia right now include Heartland Dental, Aspen Dental, and Dentists of Bristow, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Virginia's mix of large health systems, federally qualified health centers, and multi-location group practices means hiring is spread across both metropolitan areas and rural underserved communities throughout the state.
Which Virginia cities have the most dentist jobs?
Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Fredericksburg are the Virginia cities with the most dentist openings, reflecting the concentration of large health systems, group dental practices, and dense patient populations in those areas. Northern Virginia's proximity to the Washington D.C. corridor adds a substantial layer of corporate and government-adjacent demand that pushes opening counts higher than its population alone would suggest.
Are there remote dentist jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Clinical dentist work requires hands-on patient care and cannot be performed remotely, so the vast majority of openings require in-person presence. About 0% of dentist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in dental consulting, utilization review, or tele-dentistry triage roles rather than general clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a dentist in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a dental residency or general practice residency program, with Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center and Inova Health System among the Virginia institutions that run accredited programs designed for new graduates. Community health centers across the state frequently hire associate dentists with limited clinical hours and provide structured mentorship. Having your Virginia Board of Dentistry license in hand and CPR certification current before you apply gives you a meaningful advantage over candidates who are still pending those credentials.
Where can I find and apply to dentist jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to dentist jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Find roles that match your experience level and preferred location, then apply directly to the employers posting them without needing to go through a third party.
