Job description

We’re not looking for someone who just wants to do cleanings. We’re looking for a hygienist who wants to help patients actually get healthy.

We’re a private, women-owned, boutique dental practice where patient relationships matter. We believe hygiene is about much more than completing a cleaning and sending the patient on their way.

Our goal is to understand what each patient needs, educate them about their oral health, and use the appropriate tools, therapies, and referrals to help them achieve better health.

We’re Hiring: Dental Hygienist

What you can expect

• Consistent weekday schedule with no weekends
• Supportive, collaborative team
• Kind and appreciative patient population
• Modern technology, including Airflow Master and digital systems
• A strong emphasis on patient education
• Competitive hourly compensation
• 401(k), dental insurance, and paid time off

Our Approach

We want to understand why a patient isn't healthy, not simply treat the symptoms and see them again in six months. We believe in thorough assessment, meaningful patient education, and doing what is clinically appropriate to help each patient move toward better health.

We’re open to new therapies, new techniques, continuing education, and new ideas, and we believe the best care comes from a team that learns and works together. At the same time, we take clinical protocols, documentation, safety, and standards seriously. High standards and an open mind can go together.

Who we're looking for

• Clinically confident and committed to learning
• Passionate about patient education
• Compassionate and great at building patient relationships
• Dependable and detail oriented
• Open minded and interested in new approaches
• A team player who enjoys collaborating
• Motivated by seeing patients become healthier, not simply completing the day's schedule

If you've ever finished a day of hygiene and thought, “I wish I could do more for these patients,” you may be exactly who we're looking for.

If you're looking for a practice where you can provide excellent clinical care, keep learning, work as part of a team, and genuinely help patients become healthier, we'd love to hear from you.
