About us:

We are a small, independently-owned dental practice which has seen a lot of growth since moving into our new space a few years ago. We believe in the importance of one-on-one care with our patients and always aim to accommodate them where possible. Many of our patients have been coming to see our dentists for many years, and our long-term staff have developed trustworthy relationships with our patients which we are very proud to maintain and build upon.

We are located in the heart of Bondi Junction and are a 5-minute walk away from the Bondi Junction interchange where buses and trains come in. There is also commuter parking available in the Westfield, and several parking stations nearby.

Because we are a smaller team, we have a close-knit staff who work very closely together and are looking for someone who can join our team and help us to maintain our workplace culture which is built around supporting each other and our patients to provide high-quality dental care.
