We are looking for an experienced Associate Dentist to join our established 6-surgery Deepdale Dental Centre in Preston.

We are ideally looking for someone to join us full-time, but we would consider part-time applications of a minimum of 2 days per week for the right dentist.

This is a great opportunity for a dentist who enjoys a varied mixed caseload, with patients across NHS, Essentials Plan and Private dentistry, and who wants to develop their private income alongside their NHS work.

You’ll benefit from an established patient base and a varied diary, with opportunities to provide:

• NHS dentistry
• Essentials Plan dentistry
• Private dentistry
• General and preventative dentistry
• Restorative treatment
• Urgent and emergency care
• Opportunities to develop your own clinical interests

There is also strong private potential, with support available to help you identify and develop suitable private treatment opportunities within your patient base.

You’ll be joining an experienced team including:

• Qualified Dental Nurses
• Dental Therapists
• Experienced Practice Manager
• Treatment Coordinator support
• Full administrative and compliance support
• Marketing support to help develop private dentistry

The practice is fully computerised and benefits from digital X-rays and access to CBCT/OPG, alongside modern clinical facilities.

We are also continuing to invest in technology and patient communication, including Boxly and VoiceStack, and expanding our TCO support.

Deepdale Dental Centre is part of Smart Dental Care, a clinically led dental organisation with 100+ surgeries across 35 practices.

You’ll have access to:

• Clinical support and mentoring
• Opportunities to develop your private skills
• A wider network of experienced clinicians
• Ongoing investment in our practices and technology

We’re looking for a dentist who is:

• GDC registered
• Experienced in general dentistry
• Patient-focused and committed to high clinical standards
• Comfortable working within a mixed NHS and private environment
• Keen to develop their private income and clinical skills
• A positive team player

Deepdale is conveniently located with easy access to the M6, M61 and surrounding road network, making the practice accessible from Preston, Lancashire and surrounding areas.

If you're looking for a stable mixed role with a good patient base, excellent team support and genuine opportunities to develop your private dentistry, we'd love to hear from you.

Full-time is preferred, but we would be happy to discuss a minimum of 2 days per week for the right dentist.
