Love patient care? Interested in implant surgery? Have leadership ambitions?

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, caring and motivated Dental Assistant to join our growing team at Melton Dental House, part of Dental House Group.

Whether you’re beginning your dental career or ready for your next challenge, this is an opportunity to build your skills in a supportive team with exciting possibilities ahead.

We’d especially love to hear from someone who wants to upskill in implant surgery assisting and potentially grow into a leadership role.

A Place to Learn and Grow

Our recently expanded Melton clinic is a 12-chair facility, featuring a second level, a General Anaesthetic theatre and a purpose-built Implant Centre.

You’ll work alongside experienced clinicians, explore modern dental technology and support patients through everything from routine appointments to advanced treatment.

About the Role

You’ll help create a positive patient experience and keep our clinical days running smoothly by:

• Assisting chairside across a variety of dental treatments.
• Preparing treatment rooms, instruments and equipment.
• Maintaining high standards of infection control and sterilisation.
• Supporting patients before, during and after their appointments.
• Assisting with digital workflows, including scans, CEREC and 3D printing.
• Developing skills to support implant procedures and GA appointments through appropriate training.

You’ll have opportunities for exposure to general dentistry, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and advanced surgical workflows.

Build a Career With Direction

Want to learn more about implant surgery? We’re keen to support someone with the curiosity and commitment to develop skills in surgical preparation, implant workflows and chairside surgical assisting.

See yourself leading a team one day? As your experience and confidence grow, potential opportunities may include mentoring new staff, coordinating clinical workflows and progressing towards a senior Dental Assistant or leadership position.

Career progression will depend on your interests, performance, training and available opportunities.

What You’ll Bring

• A positive attitude and strong work ethic.
• A caring, professional approach to patients.
• Great communication and teamwork skills.
• Attention to detail and good organisational skills.
• A willingness to learn, take initiative and grow.
• An interest in building a long-term career in dentistry.

Previous dental assisting experience is highly regarded, but not essential — we’re happy to train the right person!

Why Join Us?

• A supportive, welcoming team.
• A four-day working week.
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• Exposure to advanced treatments and modern technology.
• Opportunities to upskill in implant surgery assisting.
• Potential pathways into senior and leadership roles.
