Job Description

Woodleigh Waters Dental Surgery – Berwick VIC

n

A stable, long-term clinical role in a supportive, owner-led dental practice

n

Not every dentist wants to chase numbers in a high-pressure, high-turnover clinic.

n

If you'd rather do excellent clinical work, build real relationships with your patients and be part of a practice that treats patients like family, this could be a great fit.

n

Woodleigh Waters Dental is looking for an experienced Dentist to work alongside our principal dentist, Dr Alex, providing high-quality general and restorative care to a loyal, established patient base.

Why This Role Is Different

Supportive, Owner-Led Practice

You will work directly with the practice owner in a close-knit team where communication is straightforward, your clinical judgement is trusted and there are no layers of corporate management. We take pride in practising ethical dentistry.

Building long-term relationships with patients and supporting our recall and reactivation systems

n

Improving case acceptance without becoming sales-focused

About Woodleigh Waters Dental

n

Woodleigh Waters Dental is an established local practice caring for patients across Berwick and Melbourne's south-east for more than 12 years, with a loyal patient base and good systems in place.

n

The practice is led by Dr Rijitha Alex, who has a gentle, thoughtful approach to patient care and a strong belief in listening, educating and building long-term trust.

n

We want patients to feel known, not processed.
