• Top-Tier Technology: Our clinic is fully digital, and equipped with the latest technology. This includes multiple dental mills, Trios intra-oral scanners, CBCT, 3d printers and modern cloud-based practice management software.
• Mentoring & Support: Ongoing mentoring from our senior practitioner, Dr Huw Morgan as well as comprehensive administrative and clinical support from experienced Dental Assistants and management staff.
• Curated support staff: Our reputation has enabled us to attract some of the very best support staff in the area. We have carefully built a team that combines a strong work ethic with genuinely warm, friendly personalities. The result is a supportive, collaborative workplace where both our patients and team members enjoy coming to work each day.

Requirements:

• Current, unrestricted registration with AHPRA.
