We are very experienced team with lots of enthusiasm, motivation and a sympathetic, caring and patient attitude. We are very keen in developing newly qualified graduates into people who can survive in general practice and enjoy it at the same time.
We wish to share all our knowledge and experience with the new VDP and in return gain a new friend and colleague.
We have immense experience in sedation, implantology, crown and bridgework, cosmetic dentistry and endodontics. Other colleagues interests are periodontology, hypnosis, prosthetics and paediatric dentistry and would encourage the VDP to learn by assisting us in all our cases.
We practice intra-venous sedation with trained sedation nurses and you would be taught this too.
Training & Supervision
With all trainees we operate an open doors policy and we encourage our trainee to come to us for advice and help. We actively encourage interests in other areas of dentistry that will broaden your experiences. This may include for example visits to local dental laboratories.
What we are looking for
- A friendly, easy going individual with a good sense of humour, yet wishing to attain a high level of clinical standard in an ethical environment.
- Motivated and hungry for knowledge, yet enjoy it all at the same time.
- Someone keen to carry on the learning process and possibly start work towards the MJDF. We would encourage you to join a local dental study club to help you.
What our VTs say about our practice
"I currently work as a VT in Bedford and Watford. I work Mondays and Wednesdays in Bedford, and Tuesdays and Thursdays in Watford. This post has given me a valuable insight into how to integrate into two different teams effectively and to build good working relations with different sets of staff. During my VT year I have had the opportunity to improve my skills in basic dentistry such as endodontics, crown preparation and direct restorations. I have also had the opportunity to use rotary endodontics, performed internal and external bleaching as well as conducting several surgical extractions. The advantage of this role is that by working in Bedford I was able to assist on implant placements every fortnight, with tutorials given on topics relevant to implants. Furthermore, I have had tutorials every week covering all aspect of dentistry where we look at articles and use the experience of our trainer to supplement learning objectives. I have thoroughly enjoyed my VT experience at Chrysalis Dental Practice and would recommend this post to any potential applicant. This post stands out due to the experience that can be gained by observing advanced dental procedures but also the pleasant practice environment that is present in both Watford and Bedford."

"I currently work in the Watford practice at Chrysalis. Initially, I was apprehensive about leaving university to start work in practice, but the staff members here have made that transition extremely easy. § The practice is extremely busy, which I have found advantageous as I have gained an immense amount of experience, in a wide variety subject areas. As a result my diagnosis, treatment planning and manual dexterity skills have been heightened. Overall I would recommend a VT post at Chrysalis to anyone, as the entire team has been a blessing to work with."
