Permanente Dental Group is one of the nation’s largest independent, dentist-owned and dentist-led multispecialty dental groups, providing integrated, patient-centered care to more than 250,000 Kaiser Permanente members across Oregon and Southwest Washington. For more than 50 years, has partnered with Kaiser Permanente to deliver a unique model of medical-dental integration that improves patient outcomes through coordinated, whole-person care. Recognized for its commitment to quality and innovation, the group participates in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network, and is dedicated to advancing evidence-based dentistry, clinical excellence, and continuous improvement in patient care.

At Permanente Dental, clinicians are empowered to focus on what matters most: providing exceptional patient care. As a dentist-led organization, every decision is grounded in clinical expertise rather than corporate priorities. Dentists are supported by dedicated teams that manage administrative functions such as recruitment, credentialing, benefits, payroll, communications, and training. In addition to clinical practice, providers have opportunities to pursue leadership, teaching, mentoring, research, technology, and community outreach, creating rewarding career pathways that support both professional growth and long-term fulfillment.

Just as Permanente Dental is recognized for excellence in patient care, it is also known as an exceptional place to work. The organization has been honored by Healthiest Employers in America and inducted into the Healthiest Employers Hall of Fame, with additional recognition as a top employer in both Oregon and Washington. A collaborative culture, strong mentorship programs, comprehensive benefits, generous retirement contributions, paid community service days, and meaningful opportunities to give back help create an environment where providers thrive. At Permanente Dental, joining the team means joining a community dedicated to clinical excellence, innovation, service, and the future of dentistry.
