So Dental — for dentists by dentists. The Forums screen: stuck on a case? Ask the room.
Who it's for

Built for UK dentists and dental practices.

So Dental is a professional network. Dentist registration details are reviewed manually, with a pending status shown until review is complete. It is not a patient-facing app or a clinical record system.

For dentists

Associates, specialists, hygienists and therapists registered with the GDC. Discuss cases with peers, build your profile, find your next role and keep your CPD on track — in a space where everyone is a verified colleague.

For practices

Claim your practice listing, post roles with a real salary range, and reach verified dentists directly — without the recruiter spam. Manage applications and showcase your team, all from one place.

Everything in one app

One network. Eight ways to use it.

From clinical second opinions to your next job, So Dental brings the parts of professional life that are scattered across LinkedIn, Reddit and Indeed into a single, dentist-only home.

Forums

Stuck on a case? Ask the room.

Topic-based communities for clinical questions, practice life, careers and equipment. Get a second opinion from peers who have seen it before.

Home feed

Your profession, in real time.

A timeline of posts from the dentists and practices you follow. Like, comment and share — For You or Following, your choice.

Dentist directory

Every UK dentist, one tap away.

Search verified dentists by name, specialism or city. Every profile carries a GDC badge, so you always know who you're talking to.

Practice directory

Find the practices that fit.

A searchable directory of UK dental practices — NHS, private or mixed — that owners can claim and keep up to date.

Messaging

Refer a patient. Message a peer.

Direct, one-to-one messaging between verified members. Refer cases, ask for advice, and stay in touch — with sensible limits to stop recruiter spam.

Jobs

Every listing shows a salary.

Roles posted by practices, applied to by dentists. Salary transparency is mandatory — no "competitive", no "DOE". NHS, private, mixed or locum.

Courses

CPD, sorted. Properly.

Browse continuing-professional-development courses from trusted providers. Certificates and accreditation stay with the provider — we just help you find them.

Notifications

Never miss what matters.

Replies, mentions, new followers, job alerts and application updates — all in one place, exactly when you want them.

A closer look

Made for the way dentists actually work.

From clinical questions to your next role, every part of So Dental is built around verified peers.

So Dental Forums — stuck on a case? Ask the room. So Dental Jobs — transparent job posts for your new role. So Dental profiles — refer a patient, message a peer.
Patient safety first

A network built around the rules that matter.

Dentistry has obligations a normal social network doesn't. So Dental is engineered around them from the ground up.

GDC verification

Dentist registration details are reviewed manually against the public GDC register. Profiles show a pending status until review is complete.

Consent gate on every image

Before any clinical image is shared, you confirm there's no identifiable patient, metadata is removed, and you have documented consent. The app strips image metadata; you must check for faces and other identifying details yourself.

Private by design

Encryption in transit and at rest, tokens kept in your phone's secure keychain, and analytics that never see your messages, posts or images. Read receipts are off by default.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Who can join So Dental?

Any UK General Dental Council–registered dentist, plus the authorised representatives of UK dental practices. Dentist registration details are reviewed manually after sign-up; profiles show a pending status until review is complete.

How does verification work?

You enter your GDC registration number when you sign up. Verification is reviewed manually against the public GDC register. Your profile shows a pending status until review is complete.

Is this a patient-facing app?

No. So Dental is a closed peer network for professional discussion. It is not for patients, not for booking appointments, and not a clinical record system. Patient-identifiable information must never be posted.

Why do jobs have to show a salary?

Salary transparency is a core principle. Every job listing must include a real salary range — no "competitive" or "DOE" placeholders — so dentists can make informed decisions.

Can practices message me out of the blue?

No. Unsolicited recruiter outreach is limited by design, and practices can't message dentists who haven't applied to their job. You stay in control of your inbox.

How much does it cost?

So Dental is free to use at launch. If paid features are introduced later, you'll be given clear notice and the choice of whether to subscribe.

Is So Dental available outside the UK?

Not yet. Verification relies on the UK GDC register, so the app is UK-only for now.
