Associate Dentist (Mixed – 800 Denplan List)

General Associate Dentist | Established 800 Denplan List + Small NHS Contract

Location: Colchester, Essex

Position: Associate Dentist (Part-Time or Full-Time)

Start Date: Flexible / Negotiable

Traditional General Practice | Stable Patient Base | No High-Pressure Sales

Are you a clinician who values traditional, comprehensive family dentistry over high-throughput cosmetic targets?

We are a long-established, four-surgery general dental practice in Colchester looking for an Associate Dentist to inherit a loyal, ready-made list of approximately 800 Denplan (per capita) patients following the retirement of a lifetime practice clinician.

Our practice built its reputation on continuity of care, long-term patient relationships, and sensible, honest general dentistry. We are not a high-pressure "cosmetic hub"—our patients value familiarity, quality, and a measured, traditional approach to their oral health.

What We Offer

• Denplan Capitation: Take over a stable, established list of ~800 Denplan patients, providing a predictable private income base.
• Modest NHS Component: A manageable UDA allocation at a competitive rate (£14 UDA) to help us deliver our local contract.
• Low-Stress Clinical Environment: Focus on core general dentistry without the pressure to push short-term orthodontics, composite bonding, or aggressive treatment plans.
• Loyal, Long-Term Patients: A mature, well-maintained patient base that appreciates sensible advice and consistent care.
• Supportive Team: Work alongside an experienced, long-standing team of nurses and administrative staff in a friendly, grounded environment.

About You

• Active NHS Performer Number.
• A grounded, ethical general dentist who enjoys building genuine, long-term rapport with patients.
• Appreciates the stability of an established capitation list and a relaxed, sensible daily workflow.
