Auckland CBD - A Rare Opportunity - AUCKLAND

Fantastic Opportunity for an Experienced General Dentist
An established patient base, a collegial interdisciplinary practice, and the opportunity to make the role your own.

This is a rare opportunity. They don’t come up often.

Following the early retirement of one of our founding dentists after 26 years in the practice, we are looking for the right clinician to take over the care of a large and exceptionally loyal patient base at Lumino City Dental at Quay Park.

This is not a role where you will need to start from scratch. There is an established and educated patient database, plenty of dentistry to do, and a great team around you.

You will work alongside Dr Andrea Shepperson(currently clinical 2.5 days per week), Dr Fiona van Heerden (4.5 days), three part-time hygienists and a very experienced support team.

Who are we looking for?

Someone who will complement the skills and reputation of our practice, values learning and peer collegiality, and brings their own strengths, interests and expertise to the team.

There will be plenty of opportunity for mentoring, collaboration and shared learning. However, we are looking for a dentist who already has the clinical confidence and experience to work independently, develop strong relationships with an established patient base, and make the role their own.

This will best suit an experienced clinician looking for their next professional home, rather than someone at the beginning of their career seeking close day-to-day mentoring.

We want someone who enjoys the breadth of general practice and believes, as we do, that great dentistry begins with great diagnosis, communication and patient relationships.

Our dentists frequently share treatment based on our respective clinical interests, and we enjoy working collaboratively with the specialists around us. Interdisciplinary communication is very much part of how we practise.

Communication really matters.

Many of the patients you will inherit have been with the practice, and with the same dentist, for many years. We are therefore looking for warmth, confidence and emotional intelligence: someone who listens well, builds trust and can have thoughtful conversations about changing dental needs and the transition to a new dentist, without patients feeling pressured or overwhelmed.

Our patients are predominantly educated business and professional clients, many of whom travel from across Auckland to our CBD practice. The database is extensive, with excellent opportunities across restorative dentistry, crown and bridgework, endodontics and comprehensive care, together with strong support from Lumino for patient communication, reactivation and new patient flow.

For the right dentist, there is a significant clinical opportunity within the existing patient base.

The Practice

We have three hygienists, two TRIOS scanners, SprintRay 3D printing, a dedicated photo studio, and increasing AI integration including Heidi, Pearl, SmileCloud and Diagnocat. A strong interest in digital dentistry is very welcome.

We scan all new patients, use photography routinely and our new patient examinations are comprehensive. We value continuous learning, a strong CPD record and clinicians who enjoy contributing to team education and upskilling.

We also have ready access to two CBCT units in adjacent specialist practices, including endodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery, within our multidisciplinary building.

The current role is approximately 31 hours per week across five days, and a secure CBD car park is available.

Full details of the position:
https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/AbanoHealthcare/6000000001313282-dentist-lumino-city-dental-at-quay-park

For a confidential discussion, please contact Callan Roebuck at Abano Healthcare at [email protected], or feel free to contact Dr Andrea Sepperson directly if you would like to know more about the practice and the opportunity.

Our current locum finishes on 9 September and we would like to make a permanent appointment soon. However, finding the right person is more important than simply filling the position, and we are open to another locum arrangement while we do so.

Please share this with any colleagues you think might be the right fit, particularly an experienced dentist who may not actively be looking, but for whom this could be an exciting next chapter.

Dentist Position Auckland - Auckland

A great opportunity for a highly competent dentist to join our well-established practice to help care for our loyal patients.

Fraser Smith Lowe Dentists is looking for a dentist with the experience and skills to complement our team of principal and associate dentist, specialist prosthodontist and our experienced dental hygienists.
