The shift pattern for this post are yet to be confirmed.

This is a 6 month Locum post working 40 hours per week.

Applications are invited for a Consultant in Restorative Dentistry. This is a permanent, 1 WTE (10PA) post based at Glasgow Dental Hospital and School which is the largest provider of specialist oral healthcare in Scotland. The post holder will join a large, well established Department of Restorative Dentistry. Aside from clinical service provision, opportunities exist for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, quality improvement activity, and participation in research. The Department has close links with other acute medical and surgical specialities in Greater Glasgow & Clyde.

The appointee will be responsible, together with colleagues, for the provision of specialist assessment, diagnosis, and treatment primarily in periodontics, including implant dentistry, periodontal plastic surgery and to a lesser degree in endodontics. This service provides advice and treatment plans for referring practitioners and, where appropriate, provision of treatment. A significant specialist clinical focus will include the provision of hypodontia rehabilitation in conjunction with GDH orthodontic teams as well as those in outlying West of Scotland Boards.

The post holder would be expected to develop further the existing surgical services within the discipline of periodontics and play an active role in the teaching and training of postgraduate dentists to specialist level.

You will be expected to have a high level of knowledge and expertise in the field of Restorative Dentistry, and a subspecialty interest in hypodontia multidisciplinary care. Opportunities for clinical activity in the other Restorative disciplines may arise, dependent on future service demands.

Applicants must have full GDC registration, have completed Specialist Training and be on the Restorative Dentistry Specialist Register of the GDC, or have a CCST date within six months of the date of interview.
