Dentist – Remarkable Smiles, Invercargill

About Us

Remarkable Smiles Dental Surgery is a progressive, community-minded clinic in Southland. We combine private practice excellence with an outreach programme that takes a mobile dental bus to schools, marae, and rural towns—so everyone can access great oral care close to home. Our team is friendly, forward-thinking, and driven by a simple goal: better oral-health outcomes for the whole region.

The Role

We're looking for a dentist who will:

  • Provide high-quality general dentistry (preventive, restorative, minor surgical) in a modern, fully digital surgery.
  • Join occasional mobile-unit days to deliver care in the community (optional but encouraged).
  • Work closely with our oral-health promotion team to strengthen prevention.
  • Help mentor junior staff and contribute to quality-improvement projects.

What You'll Bring

  • BDS or equivalent, DCNZ registration, and a current APC (or eligibility).
  • A genuine interest in preventive care and community service.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a tight-knit team.
  • Flexibility and a solutions-focused mindset.
  • Bonus points for experience in mobile or public-sector dentistry.

Why Choose Remarkable Dental?

  • Impact – Your work will directly improve access to care for Southlanders.
  • Support – Well-staffed clinic, annual CPD allowance, and mentoring from experienced clinicians.
  • Lifestyle – Affordable living, no traffic, and Fiordland, Queenstown, and amazing surf all within easy reach.
  • Career Growth – Opportunities to lead projects, take on management responsibilities, or collaborate on research with Otago University partners.
  • Package – Competitive salary or percentage, relocation assistance, flexible hours (4- or 5-day week), and paid time for community service days.
