Prospect:
A dentist is leaving and the three days need filling. A practice in Lara is looking for a general dentist on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from November, taking over an appointment book that is already running rather than starting from an empty one.

The patients are local families, treated from childhood through to retirement, so the days cover examinations and scale and cleans, fillings, children’s dentistry, crowns and bridges, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth and gum disease treatment. Digital X rays and intraoral cameras are in use, which makes showing patients what you have found a straightforward part of the appointment.

You work independently on all three days. Treatment planning, costing and the clinical calls are yours, with reception and support staff keeping the book moving around you. For a dentist with a few years behind them, that autonomy is the appeal, and the November start means you pick up the patients the outgoing clinician has been seeing.

Key Highlights:

- Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from November
- Established appointment book, taking over from the outgoing dentist
- Clinical autonomy across all three days
- Family caseload spanning children through to older patients
- Digital X rays and intraoral cameras in daily use

About You:
You have at least two years of clinical experience in general dentistry and are confident working independently,



with no requirement for a second opinion on routine cases. You are comfortable treating children and can hold a parent’s attention while you explain what their child needs. You hold current AHPRA registration, communicate treatment and costs in plain language, and you are available to start in November.

Key Responsibilities:

- Deliver general dentistry to patients of all ages
- Carry out examinations, radiographs, diagnosis and treatment planning
- Provide fillings, extractions, crown and bridge and root canal treatment
- Treat children and manage emergency appointments as they arise
- Keep accurate clinical notes and meet infection control standards

Location:
Lara sits between Geelong and Melbourne, 15 minutes from central Geelong and under an hour from the city by train. The You Yangs rise behind the town with granite peaks, walking tracks and mountain bike trails, and Serendip Sanctuary is a short drive out for wetlands and wildlife. The Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula are both about 40 minutes away, which is the sort of weekend most Melbourne suburbs cannot offer.
