Specialist dental accountant for associate dentists across the UK
Mixed NHS and private income. Pension rules no generalist accountant fully understands. Allowable expenses that are specific to dentistry. If your current accountant treats you like any other self-employed client, you're probably paying more tax than you need to — and missing pension planning that could cost you thousands.
Molaris is a specialist dental accountant working exclusively with associate dentists, self-employed dentists, and practice owners across the UK. We handle the accounting; you focus on dentistry.
Why associate dentists need a specialist dental accountant
A general practice accountant can file your return. What they usually can't do is tell you whether Scheme Pays is the right call this year, whether the tapered annual allowance applies to you, or which of your expenses HMRC will actually let you claim as a dentist.
As specialist dental accountants, here's what that difference looks like in practice:
From how CARE scheme accrual actually works to reading your Total Reward Statement properly, we help you understand your NHS pension — including when Scheme Pays is the right call versus an expensive mistake, and how carry forward can reduce a pension tax charge
Allowable expenses specific to dentistry
Lab fees, indemnity insurance, GDC fees, CPD, associate agreement costs — we know which deductions genuinely apply to dentists, not just a generic self-employed checklist that leaves money on the table
A dental accountant who speaks dentistry
You shouldn't have to explain what a UDA is or how your associate agreement works before you can get a straight answer. That means faster responses, fewer misunderstandings, and advice you can trust the first time
NHS and private income, structured correctly
NHS and private earnings carry different pension treatment and different tax implications. We structure your accounts around how you actually earn, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model onto a mixed income
"At Molaris, dentistry is not simply one of many industries we serve. It is our sole focus."
What a specialist dentist accountant covers that a generalist often misses
Many associate dentists start out with a general accountant, and it can work — until it doesn't. General accountants can handle basic compliance, but they typically lack the depth to advise on the areas that matter most to dental professionals:
-
NHS and private income streams, and how each is taxed
-
Associate agreements and what they mean for your accounts
Self-employed taxation for dentists specifically
Dental-specific allowable expenses
-
NHS pension considerations, including annual allowance and Scheme Pays
-
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) costs
-
Dental equipment purchases
-
Practice ownership planning
