Dental Specialist - Clinical Reviewer (Texas)

Dane Street, LLC

4d • Remote

About The Position

Dane Street is seeking an experienced, licensed Dental Specialist to conduct advisory clinical reviews. The reviewer applies specialized dental knowledge to assess dental records, clinical examinations, diagnostic imaging, treatment plans, and supporting documentation, then provides objective, evidence-based opinions. The role includes evaluating the medical necessity and appropriateness of dental services, preparing clear clinical summaries, and responding to client questions about dental care and treatment within the reviewer’s specialty.

This is a fully remote 1099 independent contractor opportunity for a dental professional who currently resides in Texas and holds an active, unrestricted Texas dental license. The reviewer may customize their schedule and select case types and workload based on availability and clinical expertise. Peer-to-peer telephone calls with treating providers are required on a per-case basis as applicable to assigned reviews. The position does not involve direct patient care or dental treatment, and no treating dentist-patient relationship is established through the review.

Dane Street provides initial training, ongoing support, a dedicated point of contact, an online work portal, organized dental records and applicable clinical guidelines, and administrative support with case flow and client communications. The opportunity allows the reviewer to apply dental expertise outside traditional clinical practice.
