When clinician gaps affect your network, get dental-specific staffing with the depth, coordination and visibility to keep things moving.
For multi-location organizations, coverage isn’t just filling one spot. Different markets, environments, clinician needs, and credentialing can turn one gap into a network-wide challenge. This can result in:
Different locations may face different levels of clinician availability and support.
Multiple states and locations can mean more requirements to coordinate and track.
A clinician who works well in one environment may not be the right fit for another.
Without centralized communication, it becomes harder to know where things stand across locations.
Recurring coverage gaps can pull leadership and regional teams into constant staffing decisions.
The more locations you manage, the more important a repeatable coverage process becomes.
We give DSOs a dedicated dental staffing partner built to work across locations, markets and coverage needs, with centralized ownership from the first request through assignment follow-up.
A DSO needs more than an available clinician. Barton Associates Dental brings dental staffing experience, clinician depth and Barton’s locum tenens foundation together, giving your network more context and more options when a need arises.
We look beyond availability, considering the practice, clinical need, market and clinician behind every assignment.
One team coordinating needs across locations.
The specialty, experience and capabilities the assignment requires.
A repeatable process for matching, credentialing and preparing dentists.
Support that can expand or contract as regional needs change.
Qualified dental candidates are presented in an average of three days, with general dentistry coverage secured in an average of ten. Licensing and credentialing requirements can affect timing, so we keep the process clear from the start, including what’s moving, what’s pending, and what comes next.
Some needs are sudden. Others are planned well in advance. Across a network, either can become an operational challenge without the right support. Barton Associates Dental provides dental coverage for situations like these:
Illness, emergencies or last-minute changes.
Maternity leave, vacations, sabbaticals or extended absences.
Coverage while your teams search for permanent clinicians.
Additional capacity when patient volume increases.
Coverage when clinicians change availability or move on.
Support when coverage is needed across offices or markets.
A consistent staffing partner for organizations managing ongoing clinician gaps.
From the first request to assignment follow-through, we keep the moving parts coordinated, the right people aligned and the next step clear.
Tell us the location, specialty, timing, urgency, schedule and practice environment.
We consider dentist availability, experience, practice fit, location and assignment requirements to identify the best-fit options.
We coordinate the licensing and credentialing requirements needed to get the dentist ready for the specific location.
Your teams and the dentist know what to expect, where things stand and what happens next.
Support continues through the assignment, with clear communication and centralized ownership from start to follow-up.
Managing coverage across locations shouldn't mean managing a different staffing process at every turn. We bring centralized ownership, consistent communication and dental-specific support to the work.
One partner who understands your network and keeps the process moving.
Visibility into the licensing and credentialing requirements that can vary by market.
Clear updates across the process, so regional and location teams know where things stand.
Matching that considers the specific practice environment, clinical needs and expectations.
A consistent approach across locations, so teams don't have to start from scratch each time.
We stay connected through the assignment, not just until the clinician arrives.
I had to pick up the process of recruiting locum dentists for our organization and was new to the process. Evan Ray and Matthew Logan have been great at helping guide me through what to expect. I appreciate the service they provide with ensuring all the background logistics are solved for such as lodging, airfare, etc.
What stands out about Barton is how responsive and thorough they are. When I call, they’re on it, quickly sending several well-vetted options I can interview. They take time to understand my needs, the practice, and the patients, tailoring their matches accordingly. That combination of speed, choice, and alignment keeps our coverage seamless.
It has been absolutely wonderful working along with Savannah Russell. She is an incredibly good & professional member of the Barton family. She helps me when I need her opinion on any issue I might have regarding the office I am working in. I love being a part of the Barton Family.

The timeline depends on the dental specialty, location, schedule, licensing requirements and availability of qualified dentists. Barton Associates Dental starts by identifying your most urgent openings, then searches for locum tenens dentists whose experience, availability and assignment readiness align with each location’s needs.
