About the Role

Job Description

General Dentist | Succession Opportunity | Whitehall Dental Practice, South Molton

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced General Dentist to join the team at Whitehall Dental Practice in South Molton as part of a planned succession for our long-standing Principal Dentist, David Crosbie. 

This is a rare opportunity to step into an established, thriving private practice and take over a full and well-established patient book, providing continuity of care to a loyal patient base built up over many years. We are particularly interested in hearing from Dentists with  extensive experience in implants, who can continue to provide and develop implant dentistry within the practice.

About Whitehall Dental Practice

Whitehall Dental Practice is a well-established private dental practice in the heart of South Molton, North Devon, and has been providing high-quality dental care to the local community for over 30 years.

South Molton is situated in the heart of the North Devon countryside, close to Exmoor National Park and conveniently located between Barnstaple and Tiverton. The A361 provides excellent access across Devon and to the M5.

About the role

  • 4 days per week
  • An exciting succession opportunity for our Principal Dentist David Crosbie
  • Take over a full and established patient book
  • Established, loyal private patient base
  • Private dentistry only
  • Opportunity to build a long-term career within a well-established practice
  • Experienced and supportive nursing team
  • Modern, fully equipped surgeries
  • Strong practice team focused on delivering outstanding patient care
  • Excellent opportunity for an experienced clinician looking for stability, continuity and a long-term patient base

What do you get in return?

By joining PortmanDentex, you’ll be part of a 360+ practice business, predominantly focused on private dentistry. This gives you access to a large network of like-minded clinicians, alongside skilled practice teams who will partner with you to deliver exceptional patient care.

We also offer:

  • Full clinical freedom – use your preferred equipment, materials, labs and referral pathways to deliver the best possible care to your patients. We champion you as a self-employed clinician and ensure you retain your unique identity.
  • Marketing, branding and business support – helping you maximise your diary and continue to grow the practice.
  • Mentoring and CPD – access to clinical mentors and regular CPD events with some of our best-in-class dentists and specialists.
  • Support from Clinical Leads – practising clinicians who provide a key link between our clinicians and the wider business.
