Join a collaborative, well-established team of 11 dentists, General Practice residents, and a highly skilled clinical and administrative support staff in a thriving academic environment that values innovation, mentorship, and service.
Why This Role Stands Out for You
Practice at the Highest Clinical Level
You’ll practice in a Level 1 trauma and 763-bed academic medical center at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and Carilion Children’s Hospital, providing comprehensive care to a population of over one million across a large rural multi-state region.
You’ll have the opportunity to:

Pursue Research that Moves the Field Forward
You’ll have access to research collaboration opportunities through the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, Virginia Tech, and other academic partners.
Whether your interests include clinical research, translational science, or interdisciplinary collaboration, the infrastructure is here to support your academic growth.
What You’ll Need
- Completion of a CODA or CDAC-accredited Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency
- Board Certified or Board Eligible by the ABOMS
