Part‑Time Dentist – Newcomb Smiles (Newcomb Central)
Newcomb Smiles is a brand new, privately owned dental clinic opening in April at Newcomb Central Shopping Centre, next to Aldi and Woolworths. We are a relationship‑focused, quality‑driven practice with a special interest in restorative and implant dentistry, serving an under‑serviced and growing community in Newcomb–Moolap.
We are looking for a friendly, patient‑centred Dentist to join us part‑time and help build a loyal patient base from day one.
About the role
* Position: Part‑time Associate Dentist
* Location: Newcomb Central Shopping Centre, Newcomb VIC
* Start: April 2026 (flexible for the right candidate)
* Days: 2–3 days per week initially (with scope to grow hours as the books fill)
* Clinical mix:
o General dentistry – exams, cleans, fillings, simple extractions, RCT
o Preventive and family dentistry across all ages
o Opportunity to be involved in crowns, bridges, implants, cosmetic and full‑mouth rehab cases, depending on your interests and experience
* Tech & support: Primescan intraoral scanner for digital workflows, rotary endo, 1:1 chairside nurse support, modern fit‑out/equipment.
* Mentorship: Direct guidance from principal dentist with monthly case review meetings
What we offer
* A genuinely supportive, non‑corporate environment working directly with the practice owner
* Modern, purpose‑built surgery in a busy shopping centre with strong foot traffic and easy parking
* Time to do thorough dentistry – longer appointments and focus on comprehensive care rather than high‑volume churn
* Clinical autonomy within an ethical, evidence‑based framework
About you
* AHPRA‑registered dentist with appropriate professional indemnity insurance
* Confident with routine general dentistry; at least 1–2 years’ experience in private practice preferred (new grads considered if the fit is right)
* Warm, empathetic communication style – you enjoy taking time to explain treatment and build long‑term relationships
* Comfortable working independently in a small, tight‑knit team as the practice grows
* Alignment with our values: high‑quality work, integrity, and doing the right thing by patients even when it’s not the quickest option
