Associate Dentist – Mixed Practice

An opportunity has arisen for an Associate Dentist to join a well‑established mixed practice and take on an existing, stable patient list with the added benefit of a consistent flow of new patients. This provides immediate security alongside genuine potential 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 approach is built on long‑term relationships, trust, clear communication, and continuity.

Our patients are engaged, understand their treatment options, and are committed to maintaining and improving their oral health. The practice has a strong focus on ongoing care and higher‑value private treatments, creating a balanced and rewarding clinical environment.

You will be joining a supportive, professional team where your skills in general dentistry are valued, and where you'll have the time, tools, and clinical freedom to deliver excellent care. UDAs are sensibly allocated across the team, allowing you to balance NHS stability with the opportunity to grow your private portfolio.

New patients join the practice regularly and will be allocated to you, giving you the chance to expand your clinical interests and develop your patient base. There is strong existing demand for aesthetic treatments, including aligner therapy, composite bonding, and cosmetic dentistry, supported by a patient base that values and invests in their smile.

Your Role

• Deliver consistently high‑quality general dentistry
• Build long‑term patient relationships based on trust and continuity
• Use strong communication skills to guide patients through treatment options
• Provide aesthetic treatments including aligners, composite bonding, and cosmetic improvements
• Grow your patient base and clinical interests within the practice
• Work within a mixed model, balancing NHS commitments with private opportunities
• Maintain a commercially aware approach that supports patient loyalty and practice growth

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3 years' experience in a mixed or private practice
• Strong, reliable clinical foundation in general dentistry
• Confident communicator with a patient‑focused approach
• Ability to explain and deliver treatment plans clearly and professionally
• Interest in developing skills in aligners, composite bonding, and smile makeovers
• Evidence of ongoing CPD and a desire to continue progressing
• Motivated to build a loyal patient base and strong professional reputation
• GDC Registration and NHS Performer Number

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for a dentist who takes pride in their work, values long‑term patient relationships, and wants to grow within a practice that supports both clinical development and professional stability.

Private work at 50%. With established demand, earnings of around £150,000 on a 4‑day week are achievable.
