Job description

Private Dentist Jobs in Thames, Coromandel, New Zealand. Fantastic Opportunity with Equity Partnership Potential in a Well-Established Rural Practice. Zest Dental Recruitment, working in partnership with an established private dental practice, is seeking to recruit a General Dentist.

• Private / Independent Dental Practice
• Private Dentist
• Thames, Coromandel, New Zealand
• Full-time, four days a week
• Intermediate to senior role replacing a retiring dentist
• General and emergency dentistry with strong mentoring support
• Central location in a close-knit rural community
• Competitive remuneration at 40% commission plus benefits
• Equity partnership opportunity for the right person
• Reference: DW3949987

An excellent opportunity has become available for an experienced dentist to join a long-standing and much-loved practice in Thames, located at the gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula. This is a rare role offering not only a well-supported clinical environment but also the potential for equity partnership, making it ideal for a motivated clinician seeking long-term ownership opportunities.

Working four days per week from 8.30am to 5.00pm, you will provide a full range of general and emergency dental services for a loyal and varied patient base. This position has arisen due to the retirement of a senior dentist, ensuring healthy books and a steady flow of patients from day one. The practice offers mentoring support and a collaborative atmosphere, alongside benefits such as car parking and an annual CPD contribution.

The ideal candidate will bring at least three years of experience, strong skills across all general dental procedures and the confidence to plan and discuss treatment options with patients. Excellent communication skills, a warm chairside manner and a commitment to delivering outstanding dental care are essential. Applicants must also be legally eligible to work in New Zealand and willing to occasionally work later hours or weekend sessions if required.

Thames is a historic and charming town positioned right on the doorstep of The Coromandel, offering easy access to beaches, hiking trails, fishing, cafés and boutique shops. With Auckland only a 90-minute drive away, it provides the perfect blend of rural community living and convenience.

Successful candidates will be DCNZ registered or have qualified from New Zealand, Australia, the UK, or Ireland. If you are not already DCNZ registered, or not qualified from one of the above countries, please check with DCNZ to check your eligibility.

For further information regarding this position, confidential enquiries can be made by submitting your CV to ZEST Dental.
