ST Dentist Position at Neuro Head and Neck Center

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and ensure that research and innovation yield results.

At the Neuro Head and Neck Center (NHHC), approximately 650 people currently work on various aspects of investigation, treatment, and rehabilitation of diseases and injuries affecting the nervous system, brain, ears, nose, throat, and oral surgery. The center is a regional clinic providing highly specialized care for patients from the entire northern healthcare area, and it also conducts research, education, and development.

The Oral Surgery department regularly collaborates with other medical specialties in connection with surgeries for head and neck tumors, as well as for cleft lip, jaw, and palate, and complicated facial fractures/neurocranial injuries. We perform all types of surgical procedures and investigations that belong to the oral surgical care panorama. For inpatient care, we have beds in the Ear, Nose, Throat, and Oral Surgery department where we have our own care responsibility. Oral Surgery also has a very close collaboration with other dental specialties located in close proximity to the clinic. Our referrers are found within both general and private dental care.

We have regular therapy discussions and exchanges with other oral surgery clinics within the northern region. In collaboration with the Department of Dentistry at the Medical Faculty, we conduct basic education for dental students as well as further education for dental nurses in the subject. Clinical supervision is included as a mandatory part of the clinical service for all staff. The department has been conducting research in reconstructive oral surgery for many years.

The development and quality work primarily focuses on digital treatment planning for implant surgery, orthognathic surgery, and reconstructive surgery. We have three specialists in oral surgery, including one university lecturer, one assistant lecturer/ST dentist, two additional ST dentists, one general dentist, nine dental nurses, one nurse, one dental assistant, and one medical secretary. We staff the oral surgery on-call service around the clock, every day of the week throughout the year.
