What Employers Look For

The qualifications that appear most often in oral and maxillofacial surgeon jobs.

  • Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from an accredited program
  • Completion of an accredited oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program
  • Active state dental and medical licensure or eligibility in the state of practice

  • Proficiency in orthognathic surgery, trauma reconstruction, and dentoalveolar procedures
  • Current ACLS and BLS certification for hospital-based or surgical center positions

Tips for Your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Job Search

Tailor your CV to case volume

Hiring committees want to see your operative case log, not just your credentials. Break your CV into procedure categories, such as dentoalveolar, orthognathic, and reconstructive, and list approximate case numbers for each so reviewers can assess your clinical depth immediately.

Get your board certification current

Many hospital systems and large group practices require active board certification or eligibility from the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery before they will process your application. Confirm your status and request verification letters before you start applying.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists oral and maxillofacial surgeon openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.

Target postings by practice model

Job descriptions for academic positions emphasize teaching load and research expectations, while private group roles focus on production metrics and partnership tracks. Filter your search by practice type early so you are not spending time on roles whose compensation model or culture does not match your goals.

Prepare a procedure-specific interview portfolio

Bring de-identified imaging cases that showcase your range, particularly complex trauma or pathology work. Interviewers at surgical departments often move quickly past standard questions and want to review actual cases, so having organized digital examples ready signals clinical readiness.

Negotiate call coverage during the offer stage

On-call requirements vary enormously between institutions and are rarely detailed in the job posting. Ask directly about call frequency, trauma activation expectations, and how call compensation is structured before you receive a formal offer so you can compare positions accurately.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most oral and maxillofacial surgeons?

Beacon Oral Specialists, University of Tennessee, and US Department of Veterans Affairs are hiring the most oral and maxillofacial surgeons right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Academic health systems and large multi-specialty group practices tend to post the highest volume of openings at any given time.

How many oral and maxillofacial surgeon jobs are remote?

About 8% of oral and maxillofacial surgeon openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of surgical practice. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or telehealth components are pre-operative consultations, post-operative follow-up visits, and oral oncology case management roles attached to larger health systems.

How do you become an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?

You first complete a four-year dental school program to earn a DDS or DMD degree, then match into an accredited oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, which runs four years for a dental track or six years for the dual-degree MD pathway. After residency you obtain state licensure, pursue board certification through the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and apply for hospital privileges if your practice setting requires them.

Can you get hired as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with limited experience?

New graduates who have completed their residency are regularly hired into attending roles, particularly at academic medical centers that value teaching potential and research interest over years in independent practice. Highlighting a strong operative case log, subspecialty rotations in trauma or oncology, and any fellowship training or research publications strengthens your application considerably when you are early in your career.

What does the oral and maxillofacial surgeon interview process look like?

Most practices begin with a phone or video screening with a department chief or practice administrator, followed by an in-person day that includes tours of the surgical suite, case-volume discussions, and meetings with current surgeons on staff. Academic positions typically add a formal presentation of your research or clinical philosophy. Final-round conversations shift to contract terms, call coverage, and partnership or tenure track expectations.

Where can I find and apply to oral and maxillofacial surgeon jobs?

You can find and apply to oral and maxillofacial surgeon jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your subspecialty, practice setting preference, and location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
