Question 1

Do we choose the dentist, or does Dentello?

Accepted Answer

You do. Dentello sources and pre-assesses candidates matched to your practice, but the final decision is always yours. You interview and approve the dentist before any placement proceeds. Dentello then handles everything from activation to onboarding.

Question 2

Is there really no placement fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no placement fee. You pay nothing to start. The fee is performance-linked, so you only pay as your dentist delivers. In England that is from £15 per UDA. In Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland it is a percentage of gross revenue. For private practices it is 10% of gross revenue.

Question 3

How long does it take to place a dentist?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your unique situation, including whether the dentist is already in the UK or arriving from overseas. Dentello manages the sponsorship licence, Skilled Worker visa, GDC registration and NHS activation in parallel to compress the timeline as much as possible. Talk to Dentello and we will assess your situation and give you a realistic timeline.

Question 4

Do you handle the visa and sponsorship licence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dentello handles the entire process for you, not just coordination. Sponsorship licence, Skilled Worker visa, GDC registration, NHS performer number and onboarding are all managed by Dentello, with any third party costs passed through at cost price. Home Office and visa fees are payable separately where applicable.

Question 5

What does the 90-Day Replacement Commitment?

Accepted Answer

If a dentist placed by Dentello leaves during the agreement, Dentello sources and activates a replacement at no additional recruitment fee for approved clinics. This is part of the workforce stability built into every agreement, alongside ongoing monitoring.

Question 6

Which practice types can use Dentello?

Accepted Answer

NHS, mixed and private practices across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Independent practices, dental groups and DSOs all use Dentello. Each has a pricing model matched to its contract type and country.

Question 7

What is the difference between the England and the other UK models?

Accepted Answer

England uses the UDA system, so the fee is from £15 per UDA and includes the dentist's pay. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland use fee-per-item or care package contracts, so the fee is a percentage of gross revenue. Whichever applies to you, there is no placement fee and the fee is always performance-linked.

Question 8

Can dental groups use Dentello across multiple sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dentello supports multi-site dental groups and DSOs with workforce planning, acquisition support and reporting across the entire portfolio. Talk to Dentello to discuss a group-level workforce plan.
