Lumino The Dentists New Plymouth have a longstanding, experienced and friendly team of clinicians who make our clients feel welcome and relaxed. We offer a wide range of treatments and treat everyone as though they are part of our friendly family.

You will be tasked with supporting our clinicians during various dental procedures and ensuring best practice standards are upheld, and the best patient care is provided to every patient. You will also take control of tasks such as sterilisation and infection control, ensuring all instruments and equipment are processed and sterilised following best practice guidelines.
