Frequently Asked Questions
Dentists diagnose and treat conditions affecting teeth, gums and the mouth. Work includes examinations and diagnosis, fillings, extractions, root canal treatment, crown and bridge work, patient education on prevention, and referring complex cases to specialists when needed. Building trusted, ongoing relationships with patients is central to general practice.
You need a Bachelor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine from an accredited Australian university, followed by registration with the Dental Board of Australia through AHPRA. Entry to dental programs is highly competitive, requiring strong academic results.
Private practice offers higher earning potential and often greater clinical autonomy, while public dental services provide structured hours, diverse patient loads and valuable early experience. Many dentists start in public or corporate roles before moving to private practice or ownership.
Regional and rural areas face persistent shortages, often offering relocation incentives, HECS reimbursement schemes and higher earning potential to attract dentists. Metropolitan areas remain competitive but offer greater lifestyle choice and access to specialist referral networks. Corporate dental groups also actively recruit across regional and outer suburban clinics.
Dentists progress from associate to practice principal and owner, or pursue specialist training in areas like orthodontics, oral surgery or periodontics through further postgraduate study. Others move into dental education, public health leadership or corporate dental management. Some dentists combine clinical work with teaching at university dental schools.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
