Are you a motivated Associate Dentist looking for a supportive practice where you can continue to build confidence, develop your clinical skills, and grow your private income?

We are working with a well-established independent mixed practice in York to recruit an Associate Dentist. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior dentist or someone earlier in their career who wants a stable NHS list, hands-on clinical support, and real scope to progress into private treatments in a well-equipped, affluent area.

• Future implant pathway support

This is a great move for a dentist who wants to strengthen their core skills while gradually expanding into higher-value private work.
