At B Orthodontics, we're passionate about creating confident smiles while delivering an exceptional patient experience. With a strong reputation for clinical excellence and a supportive team culture, we're looking for an experienced full-time Dental Assistant to join our busy orthodontic practice.

Orthodontic experience is highly regarded, however it isn't essential. If you're an experienced Dental Assistant with a positive attitude, excellent communication skills, and a genuine desire to learn, we'll provide the training and support to help you develop your specialist orthodontic skills.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, fast-paced team where no two days are the same, and where you'll play an important role in supporting patients throughout their orthodontic journey.

• Chairside assisting during orthodontic procedures
• Preparing treatment rooms and maintaining clinical equipment
• Instrument sterilisation and maintaining infection control standards
• Supporting and reassuring patients throughout their appointments
• Assisting with the smooth day-to-day operation of the practice
• Working collaboratively with the wider clinical and reception team

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Has previous Dental Assisting experience (orthodontic experience is highly regarded but not essential)
• Enjoys working with children, teenagers and families
• Is organised, reliable and has excellent attention to detail
• Communicates confidently and professionally with patients and colleagues
• Thrives in a busy clinical environment

• Clinic hours: 7:45am – 5:15pm

You'll work across our three locations:

• Burwood East
• Doncaster East
• Lilydale

The majority of shifts are based at our Burwood East and Doncaster East clinics, however flexibility to work across all locations is essential.
