Job description

Associate Dentist Jobs in Harlow, Essex. INDEPENDENT. Exceptionally stable practice, rare opportunity – good mix of NHS and private. ZEST Dental Recruitment working in partnership with an established dental practice is seeking to recruit an Associate Dentist.

• Independent Mixed Dental Practice
• Harlow, Essex

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly stable and well-regarded independent dental practice in Harlow. The incoming dentist will take over a well-maintained and stable patient list from a long-standing associate. Staff turnover here is exceptionally low across both clinical and support teams, reflecting a strong and well-run working environment.

The practice offers a solid mix of NHS and private dentistry. Private demand is consistent, particularly for routine cosmetic treatments such as white fillings, crowns, veneers, short-term ortho, and implants. The practice has a visiting implant dentist, but associates are welcome to place their own implants if suitably experienced.

The practice is purpose-built, modern, and well-equipped, including CBCT, iTero scanner, digital x-rays, and rotary endo. There are four surgeries, and you will be supported by a close-knit team of three full-time associates, a hygienist/therapist, and experienced nurses.

Successful candidates will be GDC registered dentists, have an active dentist performer number, and have experience of providing NHS dental treatment in the UK.
