Job description

General Dentist | Build a Career in Southland, New Zealand. Competitive salary.

Some dentists move to New Zealand for the career. Others for the lifestyle. Here, you don't have to choose.

From day one your diary is already full, your patient base is established, you’re working alongside other clinicians, and when the working day finishes, you have some of the country’s best outdoor experiences within easy reach.

Welcome to Winton Dental.

Why you’ll love it here.

• Full-time. Monday–Friday.
• No overnight on-call.
• 5+ years’ clinical experience preferred.
• Established patient base with appointments currently 6–8 weeks ahead.
• Broad general dentistry including restorative, crown & bridge, endodontics, extractions and family dentistry.
• Remuneration structured based on the candidate’s experience.
• Temporary accommodation to help with your initial move.
• CPD allowance.
• Support with NZ registration, visa requirements and residency pathways, where applicable
• Work as part of a wider clinical team.

A practice where you can hit the ground running.

Winton Dental is an established two-surgery practice serving Winton and the wider Central Southland community.

The patient base is loyal, demand is strong and the diary is busy, meaning you can concentrate on clinical dentistry, and not worry about attracting new patients. This place has a real ‘family feel,’ about it where everyone pulls together when there’s work, and relaxes when it’s time. Communication is valued, decisions can be made quickly, and ideas are encouraged.

The practice is independently owned and forms part of a wider dental group alongside The Dentist on Kelvin in Invercargill. You’ll have access to additional clinical support, experienced colleagues and modern technology, while still enjoying the feel of an independent practice.

Principal Dentist Dr Amy Lee is a registered Specialist Prosthodontist with around 20 years of experience, providing an excellent source of support for complex restorative cases and treatment planning.

Across the group, investment in technology includes CBCT, digital scanning, CEREC CAD/CAM and milling, dental operating microscopy and implant equipment.

Then there’s Southland...

Winton is around 20 minutes from Invercargill, so you can enjoy small-town life or live in the city and commute.

Outside work, Southland offers an enviable lifestyle, fishing, beaches, cycling, walking, hiking and outdoor sport, with Te Anau and Fiordland National Park within easy reach and Queenstown around two hours away.

Trade the commute for countryside. For a dentist with a family, Winton means a long-term career in a practice that backs you, and a way of life where weekends are spent on rivers, beaches and mountain tracks instead of in traffic.
