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.
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
