The practice has recently had a significant refurbishment and the majority of surgeries are new and have intra oral cameras and an intra oral scanner. All surgeries have their own xray and are air conditioned.
We are looking for someone who wants to develop as a general dental practitioner (mentoring and guidance is provided by the principal and the wider team). The candidate must have a good standard of basic restorative care and want to grow their experience and skill. They must have a medium-term vision to develop lasting relationships with patients and make new connections. A portfolio of cases or photographs to show your work is desirable but not essential.
The candidate will be responsible for looking after NHS patients but with great potential for private growth in an affluent area where patients are very frequently looking for ways to improve their smile. The role is for 4-5 days a week to look after a stable list of patients. There is lots of support within the team with a foundation dentist trainer, several experienced colleagues with many years clinical and mentorship experience in composite bonding, ortho, implants and periodontal expertise.
It is essential you want to be part of a team and that you have a forward-thinking outlook for dentistry and life!
