Orthodontics Department Nässjö

The Orthodontics Department in Nässjö is part of the Dental Institution, a leading national resource for specialist dental care in clinical treatment, research, and education. All nine specialties are represented here, creating conditions for interdisciplinary collaboration where we see the whole patient.

Orthodontics is one of the cornerstones of the Dental Institution, and the demand for specialist care in orthodontics is high. To ensure good and accessible care, we are located at clinics in Jönköping, Nässjö, and Värnamo. Our three departments work closely together in terms of operations, methods, and collegial community, collectively receiving 30,500 patient visits each year.

The Role of Senior Dentist in Orthodontics

As a senior dentist in orthodontics, your mission is to best meet the patient's needs for high-quality and cost-effective dental care, with good access and high patient safety. You will work with the clinical management of referral patients. You will consult and be consulted by colleagues and mentor ST dentists and dental care staff in general dentistry, both through clinical supervision and theoretical seminars, all based on the latest research findings at a cutting-edge clinic regarding new techniques and materials.

We offer a permanent full-time position starting by agreement.

Your Future Workplace

The Orthodontics Department in Nässjö is a well-established clinic and a friendly workplace. We primarily treat children and adolescents but also offer treatment to adults with orthodontic treatment needs. We have the privilege of following our patients over a longer period, and by providing the requested treatment, this contributes to a positive atmosphere to work in.

We are located in new, modern facilities at Nässjö Health Center, together with Nässjö Public Dental Care and the Dental Center Nässjö – a hybrid where general and specialist dental care meet to provide patients visiting us with the right care at the right time in the right place.
