About the practice
We are located in a large village (Countesthorpe) in South Leicestershire which is not far from the motorways (M1/M69). The majority of our patients live in the village or surrounding villages.
The practice was set up as a squat in 2015 and has gradually grown to 4 surgeries. We pride ourselves in providing high quality dentistry and excellent customer service, with the majority of our patients being recommended to us via word of mouth. We provide all forms of general dentistry and are also a referral practice for root canal treatments, dental implants, orthodontics and oral surgery. Our patient base consists of plan patients, fee per item patients and referral patients. We currently have a waiting list for new patients and are hoping the successful candidate can help to reduce this waiting list in addition to taking over an established list of patients.
The successful candidate will be working in a modern surgery with access to a microscope, intraoral camera, aquacare air abrasion unit, electric handpieces, CBCT scanner, intraoral scanner and an experienced qualified nurse. You will have the full support of the principal to develop any skills should you wish and we are also happy to provide a mentoring role if needed.
