How Do You Want To Practise Dentistry Long-Term?
Across the UK, dentistry has become increasingly high-volume and contract-driven. You may feel a sense of familiarity with the following:
- 25-30 patients daily as your 'norm'
- 84% of NHS professionals have reported burnout
- Over 3000 dentists have left the NHS since the pandemic
- A contract model that feels "unfit for purpose"
Ask Yourself:
- Do you have the time you want to deliver excellent patient care?
- Do you have autonomy over treatment planning?
- Does your earning structure reflect clinical skill?
- Is your workload sustainable?
If the answer is "I'm not sure anymore", you're not alone.

Are You Concerned About Starting From Zero?
Many mid-career dentists hesitate because they have built strong patient bases across the UK or Ireland. When you join an Abano clinic as a dentist, you are joining an established network with:
- Existing patient demand
- Marketing Support
- Defined ramp-up periods
- Structured onboarding
You are not relocating to an empty chair.
Understanding the Abano Healthcare Earnings Model
In the UK, earnings often sit within capped or contract-driven frameworks. Australia and New Zealand operate predominantly on a percentage-based private model. Your income depends on case mix, percentage split, productivity, and location.
We will explain how percentage models work, typical billing structures, realistic earning expectations and cost-of-living considerations.
No inflated claims. Just clarity.
Relocation Is More Than "Just a Job Move"
As you consider a career in Australia or New Zealand, you might be thinking about:
- Partner working rights
- Schooling options
- Housing affordability
- Long-term residency pathways
