Chairside at an orthodontic practice looks different to general dentistry, you're not treating the same mouth twice, you're watching a treatment plan unfold over months and years. You'll hand the right instrument at the right moment, calm a nervous kid before their next adjustment, and be part of the reason someone finally likes their smile in photos.
We're looking for a full-time Dental Assistant to join our specialist team in Indooroopilly and be that steady, capable presence chairside every day.
Job Description
Responsibilities will include:
- Providing chairside assistance across a range of orthodontic procedures
- Preparing and maintaining treatment rooms, and keeping infection control and sterilisation standards on point
- Supporting our clinicians so appointments run efficiently and patients feel well looked after
- Helping patients (and often their parents) understand what's happening and why
- Work collaboratively within a supportive and professional orthodontic team
Qualifications
To succeed in this role, you will bring:
- Previous experience as a Dental Assistant, ideally in orthodontics or a specialist practice
- Certificate III or IV in Dental Assisting
- Solid knowledge of infection control and sterilisation procedures
- Confidence chairside and a calm, reassuring manner with anxious patients
- Strong communication skills and genuine attention to detail
- A reliable, team-first attitude
