I found something close -
Went to http://memory.loc.gov , searched for the word "dentist".
The last picture on page 4 of the results has something really close.
(The one titled "Wilson Dam, Alabama (Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)).
Dentist uses the X-ray on a TVA chemical worker")
It looks like a zip instead of buttons, but it has the high collar, tight
fit and side closure.

I think you're referring to a coat with a standing color, buttons across
one shoulder, and then down the side of the chest, right?
For the long-sleeved version (also long in length), try an image search
for pictures of civilian and maybe military doctors from the influenza
epidemic of 1918 or any of the polio epidemics pre WWII.
The short-sleeved (and shorter) version was standard wear for hospital
interns up through the 1960's. Any image search for "Ben Casey" or "Dr
Kildare" should turn up plenty of pictures. The short-sleeved version was
also worn by dentists and pharmacists up through the 60's and maybe a bit
beyond.
Disclaimer- look for images from the US; I don't know about the rest of
the world.
