Bachelor of Dental Science

Career opportunities

Dentistry provides a rewarding and diverse career path and is a health profession concerned with caring for people of all ages. Graduates could work in any of the following:

  • general dentistry practice
  • specialty dentistry practice
  • public sector dental health
  • the Australian defence forces (Army, Navy or Air Force)
  • hospital dental clinics
  • international health care
  • education
  • research industry

Once you become registered as a dentist, your job prospects are excellent, with most students gaining employment within the first six months after completion of their course. Most final year dentistry students will know if they have a graduate position by December of their final year.

After registration, you may specialise within a particular area of dentistry that interests you. For example, after achieving your Bachelor of Dental Science, you may study further to become qualified in a specialist area of dentistry, such as orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, implantology or prosthodontics programs at a Master level, or biomedical or dental science research at a Doctorate level.
