I built this practice in 2003 and have been here every single day since. One practice, one community, 22 years. I am not a DSO, not a chain, not an absentee owner. I am a founder-dentist who is on-site and clinically present every working day — and I am looking for one person to join me, not to fill a slot, but to build something with me.
The chair is full from day one. Radiant Smile sees 500+ patients per month on a PPO and fee-for-service model exclusively — no HMO, no Medicaid. Your schedule will be productive immediately, with no ramp-up period and no empty chairs.
The culture is proven by the people who stayed. Both dental assistants have been here 10 years each. Both front desk coordinators have been here 15 years each. In a profession where DSO staff turns over every few months, our team has been together for a decade and a half. You would be joining a team — not a rotating cast of strangers.
What we offer:
33% of collections with $1,000/day minimum guarantee
Realistic earnings of $150K–$250K+ working 2–4 days per week
No weekends
CBCT, complete digital workflow throughout
Structured weekly mentorship — case reviews, treatment planning, calibration
Full clinical autonomy — no quotas, no non-dentist oversight
Free parking on-site — Downtown Evanston, Chicago's North Shore
Partnership track — a serious conversation for the right person
Who we are looking for: Experience preferred (2+ years); exceptional new grads welcome. Illinois dental license required. We want someone who communicates warmly with patients, takes clinical quality seriously, and is looking for a long-term professional home — not a resume stop.
Built to last — and to be passed on to someone who deserves it.

The Radiant Smile is a founder-owned, private general dental practice located in downtown Evanston on Chicago's North Shore. Established in 2003 by Dr. Charles Chen, the practice has operated continuously from the same location for over 22 years — built from the ground up, one patient relationship at a time. Dr. Chen is on-site and clinically present every working day.
The practice sees over 500 patients per month across a PPO and fee-for-service model exclusively — no HMO, no Medicaid, no corporate oversight. A complete digital workflow including CBCT supports a modern, efficient clinical environment. Our support team has been with the practice for 10 to 15 years each, a reflection of the stable, warm, and professionally respectful culture that defines daily life here.
The Radiant Smile is not a DSO, not a franchise, and not a chain. Clinical decisions are made by the dentist who owns the practice and treats the patients. We offer associates genuine clinical autonomy, structured mentorship from the owner, above-average earnings potential on a flexible 2 to 4 day schedule, no weekends, and a serious partnership conversation for the right person.
