Mentoring at The Dentists

A strong graduate program

To help our graduates to get to a place of confidence and knowledge, we have built a strong graduate program. Our program has a few key pillars to success:

  • Mentor relationship

    Our mentors are highly qualified dentists with years of experience. More importantly, we know how to help you achieve your potential.

  • The team

    The team at The Dentists is part of why our graduate dentists love coming to work. Being surrounded by like-minded people that are keen to share their knowledge and experiences makes work a more fulfilling journey. Our team is a team of lifelong learners and mentors.

  • Teaching time

    On top of the time a graduate spends with their mentor and with patients, our team has key times they get together to share and learn from each other. A weekly meeting to get the graduates together ensures the ability to ask questions and hear from others. Additionally, further development opportunities are given to learn from industry leaders.

Our why

A joint compass to live by

Every person or organisation has some deep-seated reason for their being. This is known as their ‘why’. For example, Steve Jobs’ was “Challenge the status quo”.

We choose our graduate dentists based on whether they align with our values. We truly only want to employ staff that believe in this as much as we do. This gives us a joint compass to live by, and it is our goal to get a graduate dentist to a place where they feel confident to deliver on what we promise to our patients.

  • Oral health for life

    Oral health is fundamental to lifelong well-being.

  • Better outcomes

    Our knowledge, care and holistic approach deliver better outcomes.

  • You are at the heart of it

    The highest quality care across all five practices, with the patient at the heart of everything we do.
