⏰ Working Hours
  • Monday: 08:15 – 18:15

🏥 About the Practice

This is a modern, well-organised 3-surgery practice with a strong reputation for patient care and clinical standards.

The environment combines the stability of NHS dentistry with the clinical variety and progression opportunities that come from private treatments and advanced procedures.

The practice offers:
  • A balanced mix of NHS and private patients
  • Fully digital workflows using Dentally software
  • Modern equipment and up-to-date technology
  • Well-structured appointment systems and patient flow

🦷 Clinical Exposure & Technology

This role offers excellent day-to-day variety and hands-on exposure to a wide range of procedures, including:

  • Orthodontics
  • Endodontics
You’ll also gain experience working with advanced digital equipment including:
  • CBCT Scanner
  • Digital X-rays
  • Endodontic machines

This is an ideal environment for a nurse who enjoys modern dentistry and wants to continue building their clinical skillset beyond routine nursing duties.

  • Assisting with implant, orthodontic, and endodontic treatments
  • Preparing and maintaining surgeries to excellent clinical standards

  • Motivated and eager to continue learning and developing

  • Experience within a mixed or digital practice setting
  • Interest in implants, orthodontics, or endodontics
  • Familiarity with Dentally software

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
  • No weekend working
  • Exposure to advanced and modern dentistry
  • Excellent clinical variety day-to-day
  • Digital, forward-thinking environment
