Not every accomplished dentist is looking for the same thing. You may not be actively looking for another dental job. You may actually be quite happy where you are.
But if you've ever wondered how much further you could take your dentistry with the right mentoring, patients and clinical environment, this is worth a conversation.
You're already comfortable working independently. You can provide quality general dentistry, maybe more advanced procedures. And importantly manage your own patients.
But perhaps you want more.
You want to keep learning and growing not stagnating.
You want someone experienced enough to challenge your thinking, discuss your cases and help you become better — without taking away your clinical autonomy.
You want to become more confident in presenting and performing comprehensive treatment.
You want exposure to dentistry that you may not yet have had the opportunity to do regularly.
And ultimately, you want to build a career you can be proud of.
THE QUESTION IS: What could your dentistry look like in 5 years? the same drill and fill OR....
WELL ... At Lifetime Dental, you'll start by doing what you're already good at - family general dentistry - while developing the skills to take on increasingly comprehensive cases.
You'll be supported by a long-established hygiene department, dentists for 30+ years experience and patients who value high-quality care, a desire to keep their teeth for life, and are receptive to well-communicated comprehensive treatment options.
As your confidence and skills develop, you'll have opportunities to expand your clinical scope into:
- Implant dentistry
- Molar endodontics
- Crown and bridge
- Orthodontics
- Comprehensive restorative dentistry
- Surgical extractions
- Full-mouth rehabilitation
- Airway dentistry, including snoring and sleep apnoea
The aim isn't to throw you into procedures you're not ready for.
It's to progressively develop your confidence and capability so that your clinical scope grows year on year.
Mentoring that helps you become a better, more confident, more competent Dentist.
Every week, you'll have the opportunity to review cases and discuss:
- Diagnosis
- Treatment planning
- Communication
- Case presentation
- What you could have done differently
- What you should consider next time
You'll also have the opportunity to observe advanced procedures, including full-mouth rehabilitation, implant dentistry, surgical extractions and airway dentistry.
What you're looking for is someone experienced enough to challenge your thinking, discuss your cases and help you become better - without taking away your clinical autonomy.
This isn't about micromanaging you.
It's about having experienced clinicians around you who are prepared to share what they know, discuss difficult cases and help you see things from another perspective.
You bring your existing experience.
We help you build on it.
If you are happy doing the same dentistry year on year, this job is probably not for you.
We are looking for a dentist who wants to keep improving.
Someone who wants to become a better diagnostician.
A better treatment planner.
A better communicator.
A more capable clinician.
And ultimately, a dentist who can confidently provide increasingly comprehensive dentistry to patients who value it. A Dentist that is proud of his work.
We believe that with the right mentoring, clinical exposure, case discussion and communication skills, you can learn in two years what might otherwise take another dentist ten years to encounter.
Imagine where that could take your career.
Build a dental home - not just another job
Lifetime Dental is a long-established practice with patients who value their dental health, want to keep their teeth for life and want a confident, beautiful smile that represents their best self.
For you, that means the opportunity to develop long-term relationships with patients who value quality dentistry.
The opportunity isn't simply to fill a chair.
It's to build a patient base, develop your clinical skills, build your reputation and grow your confidence.
Ultimately, it's the opportunity to build a long-term dental home where your clinical skills, confidence, reputation and earning capacity can grow together.
What you'll have around you
You will have experienced, well-trained nurses and a long-established hygiene department supporting your patient care.
You'll also have access to the diagnostic equipment needed to properly assess increasingly complex cases, including:
- Clinical microscope
- CBCT
- OPG
- Lateral cephalometric imaging
But the equipment isn't the opportunity.
What matters is what you can learn and what you can ultimately do for your patients because you have these resources around you.
Who we're looking for
You will ideally have around 5 years' private practice experience and be:
- Confident and independent with general dentistry
- Interested in comprehensive dentistry
- Committed to learning and growing throughout your career
- Keen to develop your treatment planning skills
- Interested in expanding your clinical scope
- Open to honest case discussion and feedback
- Interested in developing your communication and case presentation skills
- Comfortable working independently while valuing collaboration
- Looking for a long-term dental home rather than simply another position
The opportunity
3 days initially, with the opportunity to grow to 4 days.
The days will include a combination of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
We offer a tiered contractor remuneration structure, allowing your earning capacity to grow as your productivity, confidence and clinical capability develop.
Could this be the next stage of your career?
If you're happy doing the same dentistry year on year, this job is probably not for you.
But if you want to look back five years from now and know that you have become a more capable, confident and respected dentist, we'd like to meet you.
You may not be looking for another job.
You may be looking for the opportunity that changes the trajectory of your career.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
