The Role – Principal Dentist

We are seeking an experienced, motivated Principal Dentist with a strong focus on cosmetic and restorative dentistry.

The role will begin with Saturday mornings plus one weekday, with scope to expand as the patient base continues to grow. This is a rare succession opportunity, where the successful candidate will gradually transition to become the lead dentist of the practice as one of our senior clinicians reduces their clinical time.

Our senior dentist currently refers out certain procedures, creating an opportunity for the right candidate to expand the scope of services offered in-house.

  • Composite and porcelain veneers

  • Crown and bridge work

  • Offer general dentistry services to support patient needs

  • Take on procedures currently referred out to external specialists (where within your scope)
  • Lead clinical decision-making with professional autonomy
  • Build strong, long-term relationships with patients
  • Support recall and patient retention strategies
  • Maintain accurate patient records using Core Practice
  • Collaborate with the hygienist and team for seamless care

About You
