The Parks Dental is looking for a motivated clinician to join its team and provide high-quality fixed orthodontic treatment for both children and adults. You'll have the opportunity to help patients improve the alignment, function and appearance of their smiles, delivering personalised treatment plans and supporting them throughout their orthodontic journey.

This is an opportunity to build a rewarding role within the practice, starting with one day per week and with scope to increase to two days as the service develops.

Why join The Parks Dental?

• Develop your orthodontic service: Play an important part in growing the practice's orthodontic offering and building a long-term patient base.

• Treat a varied patient group: Work with both younger and adult patients, addressing a range of orthodontic needs.

• Flexible working: Choose a working pattern that suits you, with flexibility around days and Saturday working welcomed.

• Supportive team: Become part of an established clinical team, working collaboratively to deliver excellent patient care.

About the role

You'll provide fixed orthodontic treatment for children and adults, supporting patients from their initial orthodontic assessment through to treatment completion.

Your clinical work will include:

• Orthodontic assessments: Assessing patients' alignment, bite and overall orthodontic needs to determine suitable treatment options.

• Personalised treatment planning: Developing individual treatment plans based on each patient's clinical requirements and desired outcomes.

• Fixed appliance treatment: Providing fixed orthodontic treatment to address issues such as crowded, misaligned or spaced teeth and bite discrepancies.

• Ongoing treatment and monitoring: Reviewing progress, making appropriate adjustments and supporting patients throughout their treatment.

• Patient education and support: Explaining treatment options, expectations and oral hygiene requirements to help patients achieve the best possible results.

• Treatment completion and retention: Supporting patients through the final stages of treatment and advising on retention to help maintain their results.

The role will initially be 1 day every 2 weeks working between 9am - 5pm or 6pm, with the opportunity to build up as demand and the service develop. We are flexible with days (unable to accommodate Thursdays) and Saturdays are welcomed.

What we're looking for

We're keen to hear from:

• A qualified Orthodontist, or

• A Dentist with a Special Interest in Orthodontics with the skills and experience to provide fixed orthodontic treatment.

We're looking for someone clinically motivated, patient-focused and keen to become part of the team.
