An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an Associate Dentist to join a well-established mixed dental practice, taking over a busy, inherited patient list with an exceptional 96% recall rate. This is a genuine opportunity to step straight into a productive diary with minimal time spent building a list, making it ideal for a dentist looking for immediate stability and strong earning potential.

The practice offers an 80% NHS / 20% Private split, with excellent opportunities to further develop private treatments, including Invisalign and any specialist interests you may bring. If you have skills beyond general dentistry, the practice is keen to support and encourage them.
