Tired of Building Someone Else's Practice?
Does your principal take all the best patients?
Are you working across multiple practices trying to figure out where you'll actually build a full book?
Are you over the daily commute, crowded cities, and the feeling that home ownership keeps moving further away?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, this might be the opportunity you've been looking for.
Plaza Dental
is seeking an AHPRA-registered Associate Dentist to join our established and growing practice in Mackay, North Queensland.
For more than 40 years, Plaza Dental has cared for the Mackay community from the same location, building a strong reputation for quality dentistry and long-term patient relationships.
Recently, two long-standing owners have departed the practice, creating a rare opportunity for the right dentist to step into an established patient base and potentially become part of the next generation of leadership within Plaza Dental.
This isn't a role where you'll spend years waiting to become busy.
The successful applicant will walk into a full appointment book and have the prospect to build lasting relationships with loyal patients from day one.
Why Mackay?
Mackay offers something that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in Australia's major cities: opportunity, affordability, and lifestyle.
With a population of more than 100,000 people, Mackay provides all the conveniences of a large regional city without the long commutes, traffic congestion, and escalating cost of living.
Imagine:
· Living near the beach and still being less than 10 minutes from work
· Spending more time with family and friends and less time in traffic
· Having easy access to the Whitsunday Coast and Islands
· Enjoying a relaxed lifestyle while building a rewarding career
· Accessing Brisbane via multiple daily flights
Many clinicians initially move to Mackay for the opportunity and stay because of the lifestyle.
A Career,



Not Just a Job
· Developing advanced skills in prosthodontics and implant dentistry
· Mentoring and supporting younger clinicians as the practice grows
· Leading clinical initiatives and helping shape treatment philosophies within the practice
· Expanding your scope through continuing education and professional development
· Becoming a key long-term leader within the business
· Potential future equity or ownership opportunities for the right person
We understand that the best associates don't just want a busy appointment book today.
They want a practice where they can continue growing professionally over the next five, ten, or even twenty years.
As Plaza Dental enters its next chapter, we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey.

You are:
· AHPRA registered as a Dentist
· Committed to providing ethical, high-quality patient care

· Keen to develop your skills, particularly in prosthodontics and implant dentistry
· A solid communicator who builds trust and rapport with patients
· A team player who wants to contribute positively to the culture of the practice
· Looking for a long-term prospect rather than simply your next job
This Could Be the Career Move You've Been Waiting For
If you're looking for:
· An established patient base and a full appointment book
· Modern technology and clinical support
· Mentoring and opportunities for professional growth
· A pathway to leadership and potential future ownership
· Patients who value comprehensive care
