When a dental role goes unfilled, patient access suffers, production slows, and practice continuity is put at risk. Appointments stack up, schedules become strained, and revenue walks out the door. Barton helps practices close coverage gaps quickly while reducing the administrative burden that comes with staffing.
Locum tenens dentistry gives dentists the flexibility to choose when they work, where they practice, and what opportunities they pursue. Barton coordinates licensing, credentialing, travel, and onboarding so you can focus on patient care instead of logistics.
Locum tenens dentist compensation is influenced by practice setting, geography, specialty, and procedural scope.

When a dental role goes unfilled, patients wait — or they don't come back. Appointments stack up, hygiene schedules collapse, and referral pipelines stall. Barton fixes the friction, not just the vacancy.
Clinicians matched on specialty, procedural scope, setting, and licensing — aligned to your patient population, case mix, care environment, and production expectations.
Qualified dental candidates submitted in under five days — not five weeks — helping facilities reduce appointment backlogs and maintain patient access.
Barton manages licensing, credentialing, and onboarding end to end. One partner, start to finish.
HRSA estimates 10,744 additional dentists are needed to eliminate dental health professional shortage designations — shortages that currently affect more than 59 million Americans across 7,054 designated areas.
For facilities, those gaps won’t self-resolve — and every unfilled role has a direct patient access consequence. For clinicians, it means flexibility — consistent demand and the ability to choose where and how you practice.
With a nationwide network of credentialed dental professionals and a specialty-focused matching approach, Barton delivers faster onboarding, stronger alignment, and fewer disruptions — from first submittal to final shift.
Dental cases often intersect with adjacent surgical and medical disciplines. If your needs span multiple specialties or fall outside what's listed, we can help with that too.
