An exciting opportunity has arisen for a driven and patient-focused Associate Dentist to join a modern mixed practice offering a small NHS contract alongside strong private growth potential.
This role is ideal for a dentist who wants the security of NHS work while building a long-term private portfolio. Initially starting with one flexible day per week, the position is designed to expand as patient demand and private treatment uptake grow.

For the right clinician, this is a chance to develop both professionally and financially within a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

🏥 About the Practice
  • 4 well-equipped surgeries
  • Modern, high-quality dental equipment throughout
  • Efficient, well-organised workflows
  • Friendly, supportive clinical team
  • Loyal patient base with demand for private treatments
  • Uses SOE dental software
The practice prides itself on creating an environment where dentists can focus on delivering excellent care while building meaningful patient relationships.

🦷 Clinical Work You will be working across a varied scope of dentistry, including:
  • General Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Endodontics
  • Implant Dentistry
The practice encourages clinicians who want to expand their clinical offering and develop private treatments, with strong patient demand for higher-value procedures.

👩‍⚕️ Candidate Profile Essential
  • Fully GDC registered Dentist
  • Minimum 2 years’ clinical experience
  • Hard-working and motivated
  • Excellent communicator with strong patient rapport
  • Confident discussing treatment plans and converting private opportunities
  • Ambitious and driven to build a successful dental career
Desirable
  • Background or interest in restorative dentistry
  • Experience delivering both NHS and private treatments
The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys talking to patients, building trust, and presenting comprehensive treatment options, recognising the value of both clinical excellence and patient communication.

🚀 Career & Financial Potential

This opportunity is particularly attractive for dentists who want to build something meaningful over time.
  • Start with one flexible day and grow sessions as your patient base expands
  • Develop a strong private income stream alongside NHS work
  • Opportunity to introduce or grow advanced treatments
  • Work in a practice with modern equipment and a supportive team
A motivated clinician who is proactive with treatment planning and patient communication will find significant potential here to increase both their reputation and earnings.

🚗 Location & Accessibility
  • On-site staff parking available
  • Additional unrestricted residential parking nearby
  • Easy access for both staff and patients
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
  • Ideal role for a dentist looking to transition further into private dentistry
  • Flexible working pattern with room to grow
  • Modern practice environment with excellent equipment
  • Opportunity to build both career progression and long-term financial success
