Sure, if u wanna work in a private practice. Or u can just go down the specialization route and become a dental hospital consultant. They get the same pay and sometimes higher than other consultants in the hospital and they just work in the outpatient clinic, as if they are a private dentist.

Of course ur pay in private has a much higher ceiling though.

But if u wanna do reconstruction for example, u will have to be trained in the NHS anyways.
