Go Where Others Don’t.
Grow Beyond What You Thought Possible.
We provide the patients, technology, and mentorship so you can focus on what you do best: exceptional dentistry.
At Progressive Dental, we’re redefining what it means to build a career in private practice. Here, opportunity exists in places others might not think to look. You’ll work in communities that genuinely value their doctors, within a model that rewards initiative, and alongside a team that feels like family.
Most dentists spend years chasing the level of freedom, income, and clinical experience you can gain here in just a few.
We’ve grown into a thriving, five-location, fee-for-service group serving some of New York’s most underserved regions. That means stepping into a full patient base, gaining immediate hands-on experience with advanced procedures, and having a clear path for long-term growth. It’s a place where driven dentists can accelerate their careers with the kind of freedom and support most doctors wait years to find.
The Opportunity
We’re a doctor-led group, not a DSO.
That means you’ll have full clinical autonomy, direct mentorship from experienced owners, and the resources to practice the way you were trained to — with time, care, and purpose.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Full-arch, implant, and complex restorative cases early in your career
- Earning potential of $250K–$500K+ within 24 months
- Mentorship from seasoned doctors and specialists
- A clear pathway to ownership or partnership within 3–4 years
You’ll practice in state-of-the-art facilities equipped with CBCT, 3D printing, digital dentures, and a highly skilled team that allows you to focus on dentistry — not the distractions.
Life in Upstate New York
Welcome to a region that combines affordability, growth, and opportunity. The Greater Binghamton area offers a housing market that’s still accessible. The average home is valued around $180,000, with steady appreciation year over year.
Economically, Binghamton has long been a hub of innovation. IBM got its start nearby, and the region still retains strong roots in electronics and defense manufacturing. Today, major tech and defense leaders like Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and other advanced industries continue to drive growth and opportunity across the area.
Binghamton University adds to that momentum as one of the top public universities in New York State. Its nationally recognized programs in engineering, business, and health sciences draw talent from around the world, and its close partnerships with local industries help fuel research, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the region. The university also enriches the community with cultural events, Division I athletics, and continuing education opportunities that make the area vibrant and forward-looking.
For families and dentists relocating here, the Greater Binghamton area delivers options. You’ll find both public and private schools across the region, with districts in Binghamton, Vestal, Endwell, Johnson City, and beyond. The mix of suburban, historic, and rural neighborhoods gives you flexibility to choose the lifestyle and setting that fit you best.
Culturally, you’re close to nature, with short drives to state parks, trails, and lakes, yet still within reach of larger Upstate hubs. You avoid the congestion of big cities while enjoying regional arts, local events, and a genuinely tight-knit community. We’re also only about three hours from New York City, giving you easy access to everything the state has to offer.
If you’re wondering, yes—the lifestyle here gives you more breathing room, more financial flexibility, and more opportunity to build wealth while doing meaningful dentistry in a place people call home.

Insights from our dentists
“…and one of the reasons why I always say that I’ve stayed in this area from moving from Puerto Rico this long is because when I started, I was welcomed with a very supportive, helpful team. You know, right out of dental school, you come with a lot of doubts, but Dr. Sonny, Dr. Brian,Dr. Jen, Dr. Matt, and all of the dental assistants, they really helped me, and they got me through the process. Now, one of the key things since I started is that we treat each other like family. You know, we come and we get through the day, but at the end of the day, we know that we have each other’s backs… also, each of us have a different role here, but I know we all have the same goal, which is to be able to make a patient feel great. I am blessed to have a very caring, compassionate, hardworking team, and I want to say thank you, because I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you.”
“I’ve been very fortunate over the years to work alongside a great team of colleagues and an incredible staff. The relationships I’ve built with both my team and my patients have been the most rewarding part of my career. Being able to practice in the same community where I grew up has been especially meaningful — reconnecting with teachers, friends, and familiar faces, while raising my own family here, has been truly priceless. I’m grateful to be part of such a supportive environment and look forward to continuing this journey with our team for many years to come.”
“I love what I do. I’m blessed to be able to do what I do. I work with some of the best people on planet Earth who share that same vision and that same passion to help people. And it just hopefully comes through our pores. I feel that it does. And I also enjoy the people that we work with. I want to hear laughter. I want to hear enjoyment every day because we do spend a lot of time there. And there’s nothing more than just enjoying the ride that we’re on.”
