Job description
Description: ABOUT US
In 1981, fueled by the desire to provide quality, accessible healthcare to migrant and farm workers in their community, five visionary women laid the foundation of what would later become Tri-Cities Community Health (TCCH). As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), TCCH stands tall in the community, boasting six clinical sites strategically positioned to provide comprehensive primary care services to the underserved populations of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and the neighboring cities. Serving as the trusted medical home for our patients, TCCH offers a wide range of services - from dental care, optometry, and pharmacy needs to behavioral health and endocrinology. Our spectrum of services is continually expanding as our community grows. Our excellent care extends beyond the walls of our clinics, seamlessly connecting patients to vital social services like WIC and Maternal Support Services. And for those facing logistical barriers, we go the extra mile, ensuring access to prescribed medication by delivering directly to their doorstep. Everything we do reflects our core values of Quality, Respect, and Service.
OPPORTUNITY
TCCH is growing and actively recruiting General Dentist to join our Care Teams at our PASCO and KENNEWICK sites. Our dedicated providers offer comprehensive care spanning diagnostic, preventative, emergency, restorative, and periodontal services. Our team is committed to excellent customer service and providing comprehensive, primary oral health care for children and adult patients. We are seeking passionate, driven dentists who align with our values of Quality, Respect, and Service, and are eager to make a meaningful impact on the well-being of our patients through delivery of exceptional care. Additionally, we value a commitment to education and are seeking providers who are excited about teaching others and engaging in mentoring opportunities to foster the growth of students and staff.

Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Dentists, General (SOC 29-1021).
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Dentist” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Level II (qualified)Dentists, General · Kennewick-Richland, WA. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $101,026 | ~15% |
| Level II | $156,374 | ~31% |
| Level III | $211,744 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $267,093 | ~61% |
This job pays $164,000–$221,400 a year — that's Level II (qualified). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level II registration gets 2 entries; estimated selection chance about 31%.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
