An opportunity has arisen for an associate dentist to join a well-established mixed practice and take on an existing, stable list of patients, with the added benefit of a consistent flow of new patients joining the practice. This offers both immediate stability and genuine scope for continued growth.
We are a long-standing practice with a loyal patient base and a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. Our focus is on building long-term relationships with patients, where trust, clear communication and consistency underpin everything we do.

UDAs are sensibly distributed across the team, allowing a balanced approach between NHS work and the development of aesthetic treatments.
New patients are regularly joining the practice and will be allocated to you, providing a clear opportunity to grow your clinical interests and further develop your patient base alongside your existing list. There is a well-established flow of aesthetic treatments within the practice, including aligner therapy, composite bonding and cosmetic work, supported by a patient base that values and invests in their care.
Your Role
Deliver a consistently high standard of general dentistry
Build strong, long-term relationships with patients based on trust and continuity of care
Use your communication and consultation skills to guide patients through their treatment options with clarity and confidence
Provide aesthetic treatments, including aligner therapy, composite bonding and smile improvements
Grow your patient base and professional profile within the practice
Work within a mixed model, balancing NHS stability with aesthetic opportunities
Maintain a commercially aware approach, recognising how high-quality care supports both patient loyalty and practice growth
