What's included

What the 45 / 45 / 10 model actually means

It is simple: of the combined NHS and private revenue your placed dentist actually generates for the clinic, 45% stays with your practice, 45% goes to the dentist and 10% to Dentello. You only ever pay that 10% on what the dentist has actually generated, so if they generate nothing there is nothing to pay, and you are only ever paying for what they bring in. There is no upfront fee and nothing else on top: no separate locum charges, no fixed finder's or placement fee, and no agency fees.

What the rate covers
The managed dentist, plus fully managed activation (UKVI, GDC and NHS), onboarding, the replacement guarantee and locum protection, all under the one arrangement.
What it replaces
No separate associate deal to negotiate alone, no agency introduction fee, and no premium locum day rates. One managed model instead of a stack of costs.
What sits outside it
There is no upfront fee. Home Office and visa fees are payable separately where they apply to an overseas placement.
How it applies to your practice

Because pay under the SDR depends on the mix of treatment delivered, we map the 45 / 45 / 10 model to your contract and patient base rather than quoting a single headline rate. Talk to us for a breakdown specific to your practice.

What Is Included

Everything a locum or agency cannot give you.

Fully managed activationUKVI, GDC and NHS onboarding, handled end to end.
No upfront feeNothing to start. The fee is tied to delivered activity.
Replacement guaranteeIf your dentist leaves, we replace them at no extra fee.
Locum protectionCover built into the agreement, not charged by the day.

Locum cover is temporary and charged by the day. Agencies introduce a dentist and step away. Dentello supplies, activates and stands behind the placement.

Why Scotland Practices Choose Dentello

We reopened a closed clinic in Peterhead.

Scotland is where Dentello has its clearest proof. A clinic that had closed reopened with eight placed dentists and validated NHS Grampian results, the kind of outcome a locum could never deliver.

Proof

NHS Grampian Validated
