Are you curious about combining specialist dental care with general dental care?

We are opening up the opportunity to combine work at a general dental clinic with work at our specialist clinic for periodontology in Uddevalla.

If you are currently employed with us, there is an opportunity to continue working at your current clinic for about half of your working hours, or as agreed.

If you are not currently employed with us, there is a possibility to combine work in periodontology with work at a general dental clinic within Folktandvården in the area. Individual solutions can be discussed based on circumstances.

At the specialist clinic for periodontology, you will have the opportunity to work with experienced colleagues who are all willing to share knowledge and experience regarding the treatment of patients with periodontal disease and peri-implantitis. With us, you will primarily meet patients with significant treatment needs. You will work at the top of your competence and in a team with the clinic's periodontist, dental hygienists, and others at the clinic.

Your responsibilities include:

• Periodontal examination and X-ray taking before planning appropriate interventions together with the periodontist
• Causal treatment of periodontal disease and peri-implantitis
• Evaluation with support from the periodontist and continued supportive treatment

In addition to patient treatment, the specialist clinic for periodontology also conducts consultations for general/private dental care digitally. The clinic also participates in extensive collaboration with other specialist clinics and general dental care to increase knowledge and understanding of periodontal disease.

The specialist clinic for periodontology is located in Uddevalla, in close proximity to the bus and train station and Uddevalla Hospital. The specialist building also houses orthodontics, dental physiology, pedodontics, and oral radiology. Collaboration with these as well as with nearby clinics in oral surgery and orofacial medicine is frequent.
