Hours: Full-time or part-time, days and sessions to suit your lifestyle
Salary: Highly competitive and negotiable, depending on experience

Family Dental Care is an established, award-winning practice in Ballymoney with a strong reputation for high-quality dentistry and excellent patient care. Due to sustained growth and increasing private demand, we are looking to welcome an Associate Dentist to our friendly, supportive team.

This is a mainly private role offering flexibility, clinical freedom, and the opportunity to work in a practice that values quality dentistry, professional autonomy, and work-life balance. An immediate start is available, although we are happy to wait for the right dentist.

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for a dentist who wants time to deliver high-quality care, build lasting patient relationships, and enjoy a balanced working week. You will be joining a stable, well-organised practice with loyal patients and a relaxed, professional atmosphere.

Why Join Family Dental Care

• Mainly private patient base with strong, consistent demand

• Excellent earning potential with an established and well-maintained list

• Flexible working patterns: full-time or part-time considered

• Clinical freedom with longer appointment times

• Immediate start available, but flexibility for notice periods

The Practice

Family Dental Care is a modern, fully equipped practice designed to support clinicians and reduce stress. Facilities include:

• Digital X-rays

• Rotary endodontics

• Intraoral cameras

• Efficient workflows and well-structured clinical diaries

You will be supported by:

• Experienced, fully trained dental nurses

• Hygienists and therapists

• A knowledgeable and approachable practice manager

• A friendly, low-turnover team that genuinely works well together

Professional Development

We actively support our associates to grow and develop. The practice offers:

• Ongoing CPD support

• Opportunities to expand your clinical interests

• A long-term approach to associate relationships

Location and Lifestyle

Ballymoney offers an excellent quality of life, particularly for dentists considering relocation to Northern Ireland. Benefits include:

• Lower cost of living compared with many UK cities

• Easy access to Belfast, the North Coast, and surrounding towns

• Beautiful coastal and countryside surroundings

• A welcoming community and relaxed pace of life

Who We Are Looking For

• GDC-registered Associate Dentist (or in the process of registration)

• Confident in general dentistry; private experience is an advantage but not essential

• Patient-focused with good communication skills

• A positive, reliable team player

What Our Associates Say

“The team feels like a family, and the support is exceptional.”
“Great patients, great flexibility, and a practice that genuinely values its dentists.”
