A great opportunity for a Dental Hygienist/Therapist to join this well established practice in Swansea.

To Start - January

We’re offering 40% of all fee-per-item treatments, along with a £2,500 monthly payment for looking after a Denplan list and providing routine exams and hygiene care for those patients.

Who We’re Looking For

• A great communicator and genuinely enjoys building trust with patients.
• Confident with periodontal treatment, including the use of airflow and managing perio according to current guidelines.

Mostly, we’re after someone with good energy who wants to do quality work and fit in well with the team.

Training and CPD

We offer regular in-house and external CPD. The principal run sessions at the local hospital and occasionally in the practice – covering things like rubber dam placement, restorative dilemmas, impression taking, and other everyday clinical topics.

About the Practice and Patients

We’re based in one of the nicer parts of Swansea. Most of our patients have been with us for years and are very loyal – they’re used to private dentistry and happy to pay when they feel they’re receiving value. Many of them know us personally and professionally, and they genuinely care about the people who look after them.

Equipment and Facilities

We’re well-equipped and fully digital. The practice includes:

• Digital X-rays
• Medic scanners
• Multiple DSLR cameras
• NSK and Cavitron scalers
• A range of hand scalers
• A full-size EMS Airflow unit with the full workflow and all powders available

Team and Culture

You’ll have full support from both myself and the associate dentist. We work closely together and make sure everyone feels supported. The right person for this role will be a team player who wants to grow, progress, and help the practice continue to thrive both clinically and commercially.
