The practice is conveniently located close to the town centre and directly opposite the train station, making it easily accessible by public transport and car. While there is no on-site parking, there are a range of nearby parking options, making commuting straightforward for the team.

Our purpose-built, fully refurbished practice features:

• Three fully equipped surgeries.

• A dedicated CBCT suite and decontamination room.

• Spacious reception, waiting area and staff facilities.

• A fully digital workflow, including SOE Exact, Clinipads, digital radiography, intraoral scanners, CBCT and a Zeiss microscope.

• A wide range of treatments, including implant dentistry.

You’ll be joining a highly experienced and welcoming team where collaboration and mutual support are at the heart of everything we do.

Many of our colleagues have been with the practice for years, creating a stable and positive working environment where everyone is encouraged to develop and succeed.

You’ll work alongside experienced clinicians and dental nurses, with the opportunity to broaden your clinical experience across a range of treatments within a modern and well-equipped practice.
