Brentwood and Franklin Dental Staffing Agency Dentist, Hygienist and Dental Office Staff Recruiters

A dental staffing agency sources, screens, and places dental professionals with practices on contract, contract to hire, and direct hire terms. Frontline Source Group verifies Tennessee Board of Dentistry licensure or registration, expanded function certifications, current CPR, and references before presenting a candidate, so the practice reviews a short list rather than a stack of applications.

The Brentwood office is at 7101 Executive Center Drive, Suite 197, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027, in the Maryland Farms corridor and minutes from Cool Springs and downtown Franklin. Employer inquiries go to (615) 372-1533 or brentwood@frtline.com, and all candidate interviews are scheduled by appointment in advance.

The Brentwood office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Central and Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central. Candidate interviews are scheduled by appointment in advance rather than on a drop-in basis.

Frontline places general dentists and specialists including orthodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, pediatric dentists, and prosthodontists, plus registered dental hygienists, registered and practical dental assistants, sterilization technicians, dental lab technicians, treatment coordinators, front desk coordinators, dental receptionists, insurance verification specialists, dental billing and claims specialists, and dental practice and office managers.

Contract dental requests are typically filled from the pre-screened pipeline within 24 to 48 hours. Direct hire shortlists are delivered in 7 to 14 business days depending on role complexity. Every contract placement includes a four-hour replacement provision on day one. Restrictions apply.

Tennessee Board of Dentistry registration for a dental assistant requires a high school diploma or GED, a minimum age of 18, a recent photograph, letters evidencing good moral character, citizenship documentation, application and regulatory fees, a criminal background check, current CPR training, and passing the Ethics and Jurisprudence examination. The application fee is 32.50 dollars and registration renews on the last day of the month in which the registrant's birthday falls.

Under Tennessee rule 0460-04-.01, a practical dental assistant is an auxiliary employee receiving practical chairside training who works under direct supervision and may not perform procedures reserved to registered assistants or hygienists. A registered dental assistant holds a registration issued by the Board and may perform the additional procedures for which the Board has granted certification, such as coronal polishing, sealant application, prosthetic and restorative function, dental radiology, and monitoring of nitrous oxide.

No. Tennessee rule 0460-04-.11 requires a dental assistant to hold a current Board registration before attending a dental radiology certification course, and a certified assistant may expose dental radiographs only under the direct supervision of a licensed dentist. An assistant who passed the radiology portion of the Dental Assisting National Board certified dental assistant examination may apply for the certification directly. Frontline verifies radiology certification status before submitting an assistant to a practice.

Under Tennessee rule 0460-01-.05, dentists complete 40 hours of continuing education per two calendar years, dental hygienists complete 30 hours, and registered dental assistants complete 24 hours. All three must include a minimum of 2 hours in chemical dependency, and dentists holding sedation or anesthesia permits complete 4 additional hours. All three must maintain current in person CPR certification at the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers level or equivalent, including a manikin skills examination.

Yes. Tennessee offers licensure by credentials for dentists who hold an active license in good standing elsewhere. A dentist with five or more years of practice or teaching can be licensed without an additional clinical examination, while a dentist with two to five years of practice needs an examination administered by another state that is substantially equivalent. Frontline maps that pathway with the candidate before a Brentwood or Franklin practice commits to a start date.

The 5-Year Placement Warranty is the Frontline Source Group commitment behind every direct hire placement, including dental placements in Brentwood and Franklin. It runs 20 times longer than the 90-day guarantee that is standard across the staffing industry and is supported by a 98.94 percent executive placement retention rate against an industry average near 70 percent.

Contract dental staffing is billed at an hourly rate that covers the candidate wages, payroll taxes, insurance, and recruiting margin, so the practice carries no employer burden. Direct hire placement is a contingent fee of 20 to 30 percent of the placed candidate's first year base salary depending on role seniority and search complexity. All major credit cards are accepted at no additional charge.
