Therapists

Bring your skills to a busy practice

Therapists have a vital role to play in our success. By taking on certain key dental procedures, you’ll enable us to see more patients, more regularly. Your responsibilities will include everything from oral health education, dental radiographs and routine restorations through to taking impressions and placing crowns.

Therapists here are very much in demand, so you can expect a busy workload in an environment where you have the flexibility you need to balance work and life. Our well-managed appointments system means you’ll have the time you need to deliver brilliant patient care.
