Experienced Dental Assistant – Sedation Dentistry

Pure Dentistry | Brisbane, QLD

Looking to take your dental assisting skills to the next level? At Pure Dentistry, we offer you a unique opportunity to work with paediatric patients, patients with special healthcare needs, and individuals with dental phobias. Dental treatments for these patients are typically under general anaesthesia or IV sedation. You'll gain advanced experience in comfort-based dentistry while making a meaningful difference in people's lives.

What you'll gain:
  • Work alongside expert paediatric dentists, anaesthetists, and sedation dentists in both clinic and hospital settings
  • Develop your skills in surgical setup, sedation dentistry, and high-level treatment coordination
  • Enjoy varied, purpose-driven work that keeps you engaged and constantly learning
  • Competitive hourly rate of $42–$45, based on your certification and experience
Your role:

This is more than chairside assisting. You'll be a key player in our treatment setup process, especially for hospital-based cases. Your ability to plan ahead, stay organised, and show up ready is essential to patient care and team success.

Your day-to-day may include:

  • Assisting with dental procedures under general anaesthesia and IV sedation
  • Preparing instruments and materials between the clinic and the hospital
  • Ensuring our stock in the hospital is complete and ready for upcoming procedures
  • Setting up surgical trays and treatment rooms with precision and care
  • Adjusting quickly to changes in hospital scheduling
  • Starting early at the hospital when needed (with advance notice)
What we're looking for:
  • Certificate III or IV in Dental Assisting (required)
  • Permanent work rights in Australia
  • Valid Australian driver's licence and own transport
  • Previous experience in dental treatment under general anaesthesia and/or IV sedation
  • Strong working knowledge of oral surgery, implants, root canals, and treatment setups
  • Meticulous infection control and setup accuracy
  • High reliability
  • Confidence in planning and coordinating complex dental treatments
Where you'll work:

You'll be based at our modern clinic inside the Village Shopping Centre in Upper Mount Gravatt with free secure parking. You'll also assist at private hospitals, including:

  • St Andrew's Place Day Surgery
  • Brisbane South Private Hospital (BSPH)
  • Ipswich Day Surgery (IDH)
What can be challenging:

This role requires excellent foresight. Knowing what can go wrong and preparing for it. Coordination between hospital and clinic teams for instruments and materials can be complex, so a proactive, detail-oriented mindset is essential.

Recruitment process:
  1. Apply online
  2. Interview
  3. Paid trial shift

Ready to play a vital role in delivering compassionate, comfort-focused dental care to patients who need it most?

Apply today and be part of something meaningful.
