Clinical Dental Technician

Clinical Dental Technician

Company: The Denture Studio

Location: Hamilton, Waikato (with regular satellite clinic travel)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Salary: $75,000 – $85,000 per annum (depending on experience)

About the Role

The Denture Studio is a Hamilton-based denture clinic and dental laboratory looking for a skilled and motivated Clinical Dental Technician to join our team. This is a varied, hands-on role that combines patient-facing clinical work at satellite clinics with technical laboratory work at our Hamilton base.

If you enjoy working directly with patients as well as in the lab, and you're comfortable being on the road a couple of days a week, this could be a great fit.

What the Role Looks Like

This is a split-week position structured around our main Hamilton laboratory and two regional satellite clinics:

Monday: Huntly Satellite clinic — CDT work with patients (~30 min drive from Hamilton)

Tuesday – Thursday: Hamilton Main laboratory — dental technician work

Friday: Tokoroa Satellite clinic — CDT work with patients (~1 hr 10 min drive from Hamilton)

Travel time is counted as paid working hours. All driving to and from satellite clinics is included in your work day.

Future Growth

As the business grows, satellite clinic visits may increase to 4 or more sessions per week. Should this occur, the role may transition to include travelling on-site working arrangements based at the relevant regional locations.

What We're Looking For

• Registered Clinical Dental Technician — current registration with the New Zealand Dental Council is required

• 2+ years of experience as a Clinical Dental Technician is preferred

• Full New Zealand Driver's Licence — essential, as regular regional travel is a core part of this role

• Legal right to work in New Zealand — you must hold a valid visa or entitlement to work in NZ at the time of application

What We Offer

• $75,000 – $85,000 per annum, depending on experience

• Company vehicle and fuel provided for all satellite clinic travel

• All travel time to and from satellite clinics is counted as paid working hours

• A diverse role combining clinical patient care and hands-on laboratory work

• Opportunity to build expertise across both clinical and technical sides of denture care

• A supportive, close-knit team environment with a degree of autonomy in your work
