Dentist | Lumino City Dental at Quay Park

Job description

An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced dentist to take over an established patient base from a long-standing clinician who is retiring from practice. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys the full breadth of general dentistry and values building trusted, long-term relationships with patients. You will be joining a practice with loyal patients, strong clinical support, and modern digital workflows that allow you to focus on providing exceptional care. We are particularly interested in clinicians with confidence across: Restorative and adhesive dentistry, including composite and indirect bonded restorations Crown and bridge dentistry Molar endodontics Oral surgery and emergency care Management of heavily restored and ageing dentitions Periodontal diagnosis and long-term maintenance planning Rubber dam isolation and contemporary bonding techniques Implant restoration Comprehensive examination, diagnosis and treatment planning Think Beyond the Problem Tooth Our philosophy is to understand the patient's broader and longer-term dental risks, rather than simply treating today's problem. Our new-patient process incorporates comprehensive examination, clinical photography and digital scanning. We value clinicians who are curious, observant and proactive, and who know when to treat, when to monitor and when to refer. Build Relationships That Last Many of the patients you will inherit have been with the practice, and with the same dentist, for many years.
