How it works

From vacancy to a billing dentist, fully managed.

You approve the dentist. We handle every regulatory step behind them - in parallel, so it completes in a fraction of the usual time.

Tell us the role

Your chair, your UDA target, NHS or mixed. We scope it in one call - no obligation.

You interview & approve

We source from our own network and pre-assess. You choose. We never place without your sign-off.

We activate

GDC registration, performer/list number, sponsorship, visa and indemnity - all run in parallel and timed to your start date.

They start billing

Your dentist walks in GDC and NHS ready, treating patients from day one - with retention monitoring running from the start.

Why not a recruitment agency

A recruiter makes an introduction. We deliver a working dentist.

England & Scotland, done right

The NHS route is different in each. We run the correct one.

England

UDA contract · from £14 per UDA, all-inclusive
  • Placement onto the Dental Performers List via PCSE Online.
  • Overseas dentists may join with a supervised period (PLVE) - we arrange the supervisor and see conditions to removal.
  • Arrival timed to the performer number, so NHS activity starts on day one.
  • One predictable all-in rate tied to delivered UDAs - no premium day rates.

Scotland

Fee-per-item NHS · percentage of gross revenue
  • Health Board dental list - the dentist works under a list number, not a performer number.
  • NES mandatory training and test of knowledge handled before the list number is issued.
  • Dentists already listed elsewhere in the UK take the shorter route - we manage it.
  • Coordinated with GDC registration so nothing sits pending.
What practices say

Chairs filled, revenue restored.

“We'd been advertising for a year with nothing. Dentello had a fully activated NHS dentist in the chair, billing, in a matter of weeks.”

Practice OwnerNHS practice, England

“The visa and performer-list side was a maze we couldn't navigate. They handled all of it - we just interviewed and approved.”

Principal DentistMixed practice, Scotland

“No upfront fee and a replacement guarantee took the risk out of it entirely. It's a different model to any agency we've used.”

You've got questions

We've got answers.

Is there really no upfront fee?+

Yes. You pay nothing to start. In England the fee is from £14 per UDA, all-inclusive of the dentist's pay, and you only pay as activity is delivered. In Scotland it is a percentage of gross revenue.

Do you handle the visa and NHS registration?+

Completely. Sponsorship licence, Skilled Worker visa, GDC registration and the England performer number or Scotland Health Board list number are all managed by Dentello. Where regulated immigration advice is required, it is provided by appropriately authorised advisers.

How fast can a dentist start?+

It depends on whether the dentist is already in the UK and their registration status. Because we run the visa, GDC and NHS pathways in parallel rather than in sequence, we compress the timeline as far as possible and give you a realistic first-day date up front.

What if the dentist leaves?+

If a dentist we placed leaves during the agreement, we source and activate a replacement at no additional recruitment fee for approved clinics - part of the workforce stability built into every placement.
