About Bupa Dental Care Wessington

Established with 4 surgeries, you will work within a highly supportive clinical environment, allowing you to focus on delivering outstanding patient care while developing your clinical interests.

This practice offers an established patient base with a healthy mix of Bupa Smile Plan and UKI patients, supported by a full-time Hygienist and a dedicated full-time Treatment Coordinator (TCO) to help maximise clinical efficiency and patient conversion. Clinicians benefit from strong internal and external referral pathways for Endodontics, Implants, and Orthodontics, alongside a modern digital workflow featuring a CBCT scanner, iTero scanner, and intraoral cameras. The practice also provides patient finance options to support treatment uptake, free on-site parking for convenience, and is continuing to invest in its facilities as part of its ongoing growth plans. Looking ahead, sedation services are planned for 2027, creating further opportunities to enhance patient care and expand clinical offerings.

Our practice offers Bupa Smile Plan - a payment plan that allows patients to spread the cost of their routine preventive dentistry throughout the year. This enables our patients to budget for their dental care and encourages regular attendance helping to maintain their oral health. For you it means a more stable revenue stream from a loyal patient base with absolutely no fees or admin costs - you get paid for the services you offer in line with private pricing.

Partnering with Bupa also means the unique opportunity to provide dental treatment to our insurance customers, improving your revenue streams and growing any private work you wish to undertake.

Why we're different

As the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, we’re in a unique position. We’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long-term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.

Furthermore, as a limited liability company Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering a great service for our customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but Bupa reinvests 100% of its profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
