For employers in Ireland
Recruit dentists for your practice in Ireland.
Keep treatment plans moving and make use of available surgery time. Discuss the associate, clinical experience and working days your practice needs.
Make the Irish practice opportunity clear
Tell us about the existing patient list, private work and any participation in public dental schemes. Set out the remuneration arrangement, laboratory deductions where relevant, nursing support and available days. Avoid assuming every candidate understands how your practice operates.
Permanent recruitment and planned cover
An associate vacancy may leave established patients waiting or prevent you opening additional sessions. Share how long the position has been open and whether the priority is replacement, growth or continuity during leave.
For a locum requirement, provide the start and end dates, weekly pattern and treatment scope. We can explore whether the requirement is supportable, subject to candidate availability and agreed terms.
Find a dentist interested in your location
Medica’s candidate-led approach considers clinical interests, travel, preferred working arrangements and timing before an introduction. Overseas interest can broaden a search, but the dentist must obtain appropriate Dental Council of Ireland registration before practising. Registration, indemnity and work rights are distinct checks; recognition is not guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Does UK registration allow a dentist to practise in Ireland?
No. Irish registration must be established through the Dental Council of Ireland. The application route depends on the qualification and individual circumstances.
Can we recruit outside Dublin?
Yes. Tell us the actual practice location, patient list and working pattern. We discuss these with candidates who would consider the area; we cannot promise local availability.
