Associate Dentist (Mixed)

Colchester, Essex, East Anglia, England
Competitive
Expiry date:19 Jul 2026
Start date:20 Apr 2026
🦷 Associate Dentist – Mixed Role (New Patient Focus) | Tues & Weds 🦷
No UDA Pressure | Private Growth Focus | Permanent Position | Uncapped Potential

We are seeking an experienced Associate Dentist to join a well-established mixed practice in a new patient–focused role, working Tuesday and Wednesday each week.

This position is designed for a clinician who enjoys building relationships, developing trust, and growing a private patient base over time, rather than working to traditional UDA-driven targets. ✨

There is a small NHS contract in place (Thursdays & Fridays), currently covered by other clinicians, allowing the focus of this role to remain on new patient intake and private conversion, with strong long-term earning potential.

📍 The Role:
  • Position: Associate Dentist
  • Employment Type: Permanent
  • Practice Type: Mixed
  • Working Days: Tuesday & Wednesday
  • Start Date: ASAP 🚀
⏰ Practice Hours (for context):
  • Monday / Tuesday: 09:00 – 18:00
  • Wednesday: 09:00 – 17:00
  • Thursday: 09:00 – 19:00
  • Friday: 09:00 – 16:30
  • Optional Saturday clinic: 09:00 – 13:00
💷 Remuneration:
  • £13 per UDA (used flexibly, not target-driven)
  • 50% private split 💸
  • 50/50 lab fees
  • Uncapped private earning potential through new patient conversion
The NHS element is intentionally structured to support diary flow rather than create pressure, allowing time to focus on patient development and private treatment planning.

🏥 About the Practice:
  • Established mixed practice with strong and consistent new patient demand
  • Focus on private growth and long-term patient relationships
  • Modern, well-equipped clinical environment
  • SOE (Software of Excellence) system
  • Supportive, experienced clinical and administrative team 🤝
  • Wide range of treatments delivered in-house
🦷 Clinical Scope:
  • General Dentistry
  • Invisalign / Orthodontics
  • Implants
  • Facial aesthetics (Botox)
  • Opportunity to grow and develop private treatment planning skills
🧩 Role Focus:
  • Managing a steady flow of new patients
  • Building long-term patient trust and continuity of care
  • Converting appropriate cases into private treatment plans over time
  • Delivering ethical, high-quality dentistry with a patient-first approach
  • Developing a sustainable and growing private patient base
✅ What We’re Looking For:

Essential:
  • GDC-registered Dentist with NHS Performer Number
  • Experienced in general dentistry
  • Confident in managing and building a patient list from new enquiries
  • Strong communication skills and a relationship-focused approach
  • Patient, professional, and willing to allow time for organic list development
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out:
  • No traditional UDA pressure or targets
  • Strong focus on new patient growth and private conversion
  • Excellent opportunity to build a private book from the ground up
  • Supportive practice with clear focus on long-term clinical development
  • Access to a wide range of treatments to support career progression
  • Flexible structure designed for sustainable growth, not volume pressure
📩 If you are an Associate Dentist looking for a role where you can build a private patient base at your own pace within a supportive, modern practice, we would love to hear from you. Apply today for a confidential discussion.
