About Bupa Dental Care Carlisle

Established in 2010, our modern and thriving practice features six spacious, fully equipped surgeries, benefiting from natural light and air conditioning. Conveniently located in the heart of Carlisle, we provide high-quality dental care to both NHS and private patients. Due to growing demand, we continue to welcome new private patients, accept dental referrals, and maintain a waiting list for NHS registrations and offer one off NHS emergency appointments for any unregistered patients. Our comprehensive range of services includes general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, social orthodontics (including Invisalign), endodontics, and periodontics. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional patient care through an experienced and dedicated team. Our highly skilled dental nursing team brings over 60 years of combined experience, helping to create a supportive and trusted environment for both patients and clinicians. As a recognised teaching practice, we play an active role in the development of future dental professionals, hosting between six and eight final-year dental students each year. This commitment to education fosters a progressive, collaborative, and clinically focused working environment. This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established, patient-centred practice with a strong local reputation, a diverse clinical offering, and a supportive, professional team.

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.
