Benefit from a stable list, refurbished surgery and stable support team. 50% on private work plus up to £15.50 per UDA. All levels of experience!
An established, friendly practice in Newton Aycliffe is looking for an Associate Dentist to join its two-surgery team. You will step into a stable, well-established patient list, with real room to build a private following, as the practice is currently turning away private patients due to capacity.
The role suits both dentists who enjoy steady, rewarding NHS work and those keen to grow their private income, backed by a newly refurbished surgery, digital x-ray, and an intraoral scanner. Days are flexible, starting at two to three and optional increasing towards full-time from March 2027, with informal UDA targets and no rigid minimums.
What's on Offer - Up to £15.50 per UDA
- Informal UDA targets with no rigid minimums
- Strong private earning potential on a 50% private split, with demand outstripping current capacity
- 50/50 lab fee split on private work
- Flexible 2 to 5 days, starting at two to three and increasing from March 2027
- A stable, well-established patient list to step straight into
- A newly refurbished surgery with digital x-ray and an intraoral scanner
- Dental therapist and experienced nursing support on the team
- Free on-site parking
Who We're Looking For - GDC registration (mandatory)
- An active NHS Performer Number (mandatory)
- Dentists at all stages of experience, from early-career to established associates
- An interest in building a private following, a preference for steady NHS dentistry, or both
- A caring, patient-focused approach
About the Practice - A friendly, two-surgery practice established since 1987
- A newly refurbished surgery fitted with digital x-ray and an intraoral scanner
- A settled, close-knit team including a dental therapist, qualified and trainee nursing support, and a dedicated receptionist
- A hands-on Principal Dentist and a genuinely supportive working environment
- Unmet private demand, with private patients currently turned away due to capacity
- A straightforward, well-established patient base suited to enjoyable, sustainable dentistry
- Free on-site parking and an easily commutable Newton Aycliffe location
Whether you want to grow a private following or simply enjoy stable, rewarding NHS dentistry, this Newton Aycliffe role gives you the room and the support to do it your way.
