South Florida dental jobs: week of Sept 15, 2026

Every Monday we read practice careers pages and the board, and every Monday the map looks a little different. This week it looks lopsided. Twenty-five listings surfaced, all of them in Broward County, and all clustered across five cities. Nothing in Miami-Dade or Palm Beach came up in this particular scan, which is not the same thing as saying nobody there is hiring — it means nothing surfaced. We do not repost jobs. Everything below points you back to the practice’s own careers page, which is where applications should go and where the details stay current.

Broward County

Coconut Creek. Three general practices are each advertising the same four-role set: dental hygienist, dental assistant, office manager and treatment coordinator. A full front-and-back build like that usually signals either a new location coming online or a team rebuilding at once. The listings do not say which, and we are not going to guess for you — it is a fair question to ask in a first call.

Cooper City. A children’s dentistry and orthodontics office operating as part of a larger dental support organization is listing a dental hygienist, an associate dentist, an orthodontist and a pediatric dentist.

Coral Springs. Sixteen listings, which makes this city the week’s center of gravity. Counting roles rather than employers: pediatric dentist appears nine times, orthodontist eight, dental hygienist six, front desk six, associate dentist four and dental assistant four. One practice is seeking a periodontist. One orthodontic office is hiring unusually broadly — dental assistant, orthodontist, treatment coordinator, sterilization technician and a marketing role. Three separate listings in the city are looking for a lab technician, which is a concentration we do not see most weeks. Three more listings are open but did not specify roles, including one practice affiliated with a national dental partnership group; those are worth a direct inquiry rather than a pass.

Dania. Two listings from affiliated general and children’s offices, roles not specified.

Davie. Three listings: two practices are each seeking a billing and insurance coordinator, and a third is seeking an associate dentist and a pediatric dentist.

What does the mix suggest?

Pediatric and orthodontic seats dominate this week’s Broward board, and hygiene sits right behind them. The honest framing is association, not cause: a single week’s scan of a handful of cities cannot tell you whether children’s dentistry in northwest Broward is expanding, consolidating or simply turning over. The American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute publishes recurring survey-based reports on dental workforce and recruitment conditions, and hygiene and assisting have featured in those discussions for several years running. What we can say about this week is narrower and more useful: if you are a hygienist, a pediatric dentist or an orthodontist willing to work in Coral Springs, you have real optionality right now.

The quieter finding is the non-clinical one. Office managers, treatment coordinators, front desk staff, billing and insurance coordinators, a sterilization technician and a marketing role all appear. Dentistry hires more than clinicians, and those seats are frequently the ones that determine whether a practice runs well.

Where do you apply?

Go to the practice’s own careers page or the contact address published on its site. We do not accept applications, forward resumes or act as an intermediary, and no listing here should be read as an endorsement of any employer. Titles drift between offices — “treatment coordinator” in one practice is closer to case presentation, in another closer to scheduling — so read the posting rather than the title, and ask in the first conversation what the role replaced.

How do you get listed?

A for-hire profile and a job post are both free at miami.dentist/jobs/. Candidates can publish availability, credentials and the counties they will commute to; practices can post an opening and link straight to their own application form. Listings are reviewed before they publish, and we do not charge for placement.

If you are job-hunting in South Florida this week, the practical move is to apply directly and early, especially in Coral Springs, where several employers are competing for the same small pool of pediatric, orthodontic and hygiene candidates. Next Monday’s scan will cover a different slice of the region.
