Job description

An Amazing Opportunity to Learn and Develop into the Future

We would be pleased to hear from dentists looking for more than simply a chair and

Step into an established patient book from day one, with flexibility, clinical support and genuine room to grow.

APPROXIMATELY THREE DAYS PER WEEK, WITH SCOPE TO EXPAND | WELLINGTON AND LOWER HUTT

Supreme Dental Concepts has cared for patients across Wellington and the Hutt Valley since 1990.

We are a trust-led, patient-first practice. We take the time to listen, explain our findings clearly and involve patients in decisions about their care. We do not sell through fear or pressure. Our aim is to build relationships that last for many years.

One of our valued dentists will be leaving in late September 2026, creating an opportunity for the right clinician to take over an established Lower Hutt patient book while also having the option to develop their presence at our Wellington clinic.

Many associate positions require a dentist to build a patient base from the beginning. This role is different.

An established book from week one. You will step into a warm Lower Hutt patient base with an existing recall system, while our Wellington clinic offers genuine scope to grow at a comfortable and sustainable pace.

Our current dentist will finish on 27 September 2026. Ideally, the successful applicant would begin in August or early September to allow time for introductions, continuity of care and a proper handover. We understand that the right person may need to work around an existing notice period and will discuss a practical commencement date.

Shape the role around your life

The role may begin at approximately three days per week, with the potential to expand to four days as the position develops. You may work primarily from Lower Hutt or divide your week between our Lower Hutt and Wellington clinics.

The clinical role

The position involves general and restorative dentistry within a supportive, fully digital environment. Preventive care and long-term maintenance are central to how we practise. We focus on early diagnosis, clear patient education and recommendations that reflect each person’s clinical needs, priorities and circumstances.

For a dentist with suitable experience or interest, there is scope to become involved in:

• Digital Smile Design
• Orthodontics and aligner treatment

Experience in these areas is welcomed but not essential. We are primarily looking for a capable, ethical general dentist committed to thoughtful and respectful patient care.

Our clinics support efficient digital workflows, including iTero intraoral scanning. Supreme Dental Concepts is a Digital Smile Design certified practice, and digital planning is integrated into many aspects of our restorative and aesthetic care. Support can be provided to clinicians who are still developing confidence with digital dentistry.

Who we are looking for

• Registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand and holding a current Annual Practising Certificate
• Gentle and considered, with the ability to help anxious patients feel safe
• Clear in communication and committed to involving patients in decisions
• Guided by what is genuinely appropriate for the patient
• Interested in long-term relationships rather than short-term production
• Comfortable working within a supportive team
• Reliable, reflective and committed to high clinical standards

What we offer

• An established Lower Hutt patient book from the beginning
• A supported handover from the departing dentist
• Genuine scope to grow a patient base at our Wellington clinic
• Flexible working days and two-site options
• A fully digital clinical environment with iTero scanning
• Access to Digital Smile Design workflows
• Opportunities to develop broader clinical interests
• A stable practice caring for local patients since 1990
• A calm, trust-led culture where ethical care comes first
• Support from an experienced clinical and administrative team

Remuneration

The position offers competitive commission-based remuneration. Transitional income support may be available during the initial handover and patient-book development period. The exact structure, percentage and any introductory guarantee will be discussed transparently with shortlisted applicants and confirmed in the employment or contractor agreement.

To apply

Please tell us a little about yourself, your clinical interests and why a trust-led, patient-first practice appeals to you. Include your current CV, Dental Council registration details, preferred working days, potential commencement date and any areas you would like to develop.
