Imagine your life in Broome, a tropical sun and sand paradise. Free to live a quiet, private life pursuing your hobbies and interests or, a busy onegetting involved in one of the many interesting and artistically minded groups, plunging into sports, camping in spectacular scenery, fishing in crystal clear waters, crabbing in a muddy creek, or 4 Wheel Driving where it does not rain for 6 months of the year … well for a couple of days perhaps.

The dry season (May to September) brings in an influx of tourists from across the globe which adds to the multi-cultural aspect of Broome where social events such as weekly night markets with delicious food trucks and parades come to the town. If you consider yourself a "social bee" this could be the perfect environment for you.

About the Practice Pearly Whites Dental Practice ( is operated by locals for the local community and is committed to kind and compassionate dental care. Our experienced team bring diverse expertise ensuring we offer comprehensive services comparable to those found in city dental practices. Our team listens to patient needs, addressing concerns and fears to provide a reassuring and caring atmosphere. We prioritize respect, professionalism, confidentiality, and place value on a pleasant experience for all clients.

The Practice operates 3 well equipped surgeries with 2 Dentists and 1 Oral Health Therapist. There are no specialists in Broome however we are fortunate to have a skilled Specialist Dentist in the practice for a week every 12 weeks to take care of the more complex treatment requirements (complex extractions, oral rehabilitation and implants).

Life changes mean that a Dentist position has become available.

The practice offers all general dentistry, complex dentistry through the visiting specialist, and we currently refer complex orthodontic cases to a regularly visiting orthodontist. Referrals to these specialists outside of the local appointments are possible however travel to Perth would be required for this.

Practice hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm with first appointments at 8.30am, an hour for lunch, and flexible finish times depending on what drives you.

The practice does not currently book appointments on a Saturday however depending on what drives you and what fits, this option could be explored.

About the Role This is a full-time position OR could be a Locum position on a rotational basis with the Principal Dentist. The Locum aspect of this opportunity is negotiable though the suggested formula would look something like 3 months on with 1 month off.

Responsibilities include diagnosing and treating dental issues, performing routine checkups, providing preventative dental care plans and performing emergency dental treatment for patients in pain.

General tasks are restorations, extractions, endodontic treatment, removable prosthodontics (support provided if needed), extractions and periodontal treatment along with educating patients on good oral health.

Endodontic treatment, especially for pain management is a requirement however difficult endodontic treatment can be referred to the Principal or the visiting Dentist Specialist Dr Kieran Chew where necessary.

Periodontal health and education of patients in an encouraging, non-judgmental environment is an important part of the role and we are fortunate to have our own local Oral Health therapist to refer the practical aspects of those treatments to.

Aesthetic dentistry (bleaching, minor orthodontics with composite camouflage, and composite veneers) are enjoyed by the Principal Dentist and associates but is not pushed onto patients.

The role also carries responsibility for maintaining excellent patient records, adhering to safety protocols, and ensuring high standards of care and professionalism.

We are fortunate to have Dr Kieran Chew, a highly skilled visiting Dentist to refer to for implants, complex prosthodontics, complex surgical extractions, and sedation Dentistry for dental phobic patients. He is not only skilled and talented in these areas, his support and encouragement is backed up by a wealth of knowledge in many areas of Dentistry.
