About Hampshire Dentists
Hampshire Dentists is a well-established, fully private practice with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, patient-centred care in a modern, technology-enabled environment.
We are now seeking a Specialist Orthodontist (MOrth or equivalent) to join our multidisciplinary team and play a key role in rebuilding and growing our orthodontic service.
This is a long-term opportunity for a clinician who values clinical excellence, enjoys working with patients and families, and is motivated to develop a successful private orthodontic list within a supportive practice.

The practice previously generated a strong flow of orthodontic enquiries through internal referrals and marketing. While this activity was paused, we are now relaunching and focusing on orthodontic growth, supported by internal systems and team structure.
You will not be expected to walk into a full diary — instead, this role suits a clinician who is confident in building relationships, presenting treatment well, and growing demand steadily.
