About Coastal Dental Care

Coastal Dental Care Runaway Bay is co-owned by our principal dentist and sits right in Runaway Bay Centre. We’re part of a dentist-owned network of 18 practices across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, but each practice runs like your local: patients we know by name and a team that actually knows each other.

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Dental Assistant to join us full time, working chairside with our senior dentists. You’ll be their right hand through the day, which means learning how they like to work, staying a step ahead in the surgery and helping patients feel settled in the chair.

- Assisting your dentist chairside: passing instruments, preparing materials and processing digital X-rays
- Setting up and closing treatment rooms, and keeping the surgery and sterilisation area neat and compliant
- Sterilising and reprocessing instruments, and keeping infection control records up to date
- Looking after patients from the moment they sit down until they head back to reception




- Helping manage stock levels and general practice admin
