General Dentist

Dentist Wanted: Experienced, Efficient, and Ready to Build Relationships (Bonus Points for Love of Food and Full Books)

Are you a dentist who thrives on making genuine connections with people, delivering top-notch care, and loves working with the latest tech? We're looking for someone just like you to join our friendly, growing team at Ballarat Family Dental.

We're not just filling a seat – we're looking for an experienced dentist who can connect with patients, get them excited about their treatment, and keep them coming back. If you can make people smile (literally and figuratively) while delivering high-quality care, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Bring to the Table:

• Proven experience: You've got at least 1 year in general dentistry under your belt.
• Patient Communication: You know how to explain treatment clearly and ethically – no sales pitch, just genuine care.
• Efficient, but Thorough: You respect the clock but never rush. You value quality work, and your notes are always meticulous.
• People Skills: Whether it's a nervous patient or a chatty one, you build trust quickly and keep your patients loyal.
• Team Player: You work well with a supportive, close-knit team that values communication and collaboration. (And if you've got a big ego, this might not be the place for you. We like humility.)
• Flexible: You can handle both regular and emergency cases with ease.
• A Sense of Humor: If you can join our morning huddles (half strategy, half comedy) with a smile, we'll get along just fine.

What You Get in Return:

• Toys & Tech: CBCT, CEREC, Sirolaser, 3D printers, purpose built GA facility and more to make your job easier and your treatments more precise.
• Supportive Team: Your Dental Assistants won't ghost you mid-procedure – they've got your back.
• Cakes & Snacks: Regular team food days – because who doesn't love a good snack while solving dental dilemmas?
• Purpose-Built Facilities: From plumbed nitrous oxide to a GA facility for high-end procedures, we've got the gear you need.
• Work/Life Balance: Up to 4 weekdays plus 1 Saturday per month – no burnout here.

A Bit About Us:

We're a growing practice with a loyal base of patients, many of whom come through word-of-mouth referrals. We take pride in offering gentle, ethical care to families, including anxious patients. Our philosophy is all about making dentistry a positive, stress-free experience – and we've got the tools and a fantastic team to help you do that, including a GA facility.

The Ballarat Life:

Want to enjoy the best of both worlds? Ballarat is only 1.5 hours from Melbourne, so you can enjoy the quieter pace of life with easy access to the city when you need it. It's the fastest-growing regional city in Victoria, with excellent schools (at a fraction of the cost of Melbourne private schools) and all the amenities you need for a comfortable lifestyle. It's perfect for those wanting to settle down long term.

Perks of the Job:

• Supportive team – we're here to help you be productive and our DAs are expected to stay in the treatment room during all procedures
• Highest compliance and infection control standards - we have a designated sterilisation nurse and scout nurses on every weekday in operation
• Modern technology - very new equipment that is well maintained, onsite IT support
• Sponsorship – If you're looking to settle in Australia permanently, we're open to considering PR sponsorships for the right candidate.
