Start Your Career the Right Way

Stepping into dentistry after graduation can feel overwhelming — many new grads are left to “figure it out” on their own. That won’t happen here.

At Budhwar Dental Group, we’ve designed a graduate programme that feels like the job you always hoped existed: structured onboarding, shadowing time to build confidence, and gradual independence supported by a team that wants you to thrive.

This is the first time we are formally offering this programme after successfully trialling it with graduates in recent years — and the results speak for themselves. Those dentists are now thriving, confident, and performing advanced dentistry far earlier than their peers. Some are teaching in very popular courses too!

Why This is Different

No sink-or-swim. You’ll shadow experienced dentists in your first weeks so you can learn patient flow, treatment planning, and communication before being thrown in.

Structured onboarding. A step-by-step roadmap covers general dentistry, communication, case acceptance, and clinical upskilling.

Mentorship you can count on. Weekly case reviews, hands-on guidance, and open access to senior clinicians who’ve been where you are.

The Earn & Learn Model. A guaranteed base salary plus bonuses as your confidence (and cases) grow. You’ll never be underpaid while you’re learning.

The 12-Month Roadmap in brief

Months 1–2 Foundation & Shadowing

Observe senior clinicians, assist in complex cases.

What You’ll Earn

35% of billings above $45k/month (Months 7–12).

Expected Year 1 Total: $120,000 – $150,000+.

Enthusiastic, open-minded, and hungry to learn.

Someone who values mentorship, teamwork, and structured growth.
