About the position Our client is looking for a Dentist to join our clients’ team with a specific willingness and capability to provide fixed braces treatment in-clinic.

- Fixed braces treatment: case selection, bonding, adjustments and retention protocols
- Aligner therapy and interceptive orthodontics (as appropriate)
- Expansion/orthopaedic-style ortho workflows (where suitable and within scope)
- Extractions, emergency dentistry and pain relief appointments
- Cosmetic dentistry opportunities (whitening, bonding, veneers planning) depending on interest
Key requirements
- Current AHPRA registration as a Dentist with unrestricted Australian working rights
- Demonstrated experience providing fixed braces, or strong capability with appropriate case selection
- Confidence in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and patient communication/consent
- Commitment to ethical dentistry, clinical governance and excellent record keeping
- Team-first mindset and willingness to collaborate with other clinicians on ortho cases
On offer

- Busy potential with an established patient base and strong interest in orthodontics
- Supportive, collaborative team environment with experienced clinical and admin support
- Modern practice systems and technology to support efficient workflows
