Job description

About the Role

We're looking for an awesome Registered Dental Hygienist to join our team.

Dentistry for the Entire Family is a busy, established, privately owned dental practice with a large hygiene department, three dentists, modern technology, and a team that genuinely enjoys working together. Our leadership team works hard every day to make this a place where great people want to come to work and stay.

We believe hygienists should be able to focus on taking excellent care of patients, make recommendations they genuinely believe in, and be compensated well for the value they bring to the practice.

Compensation: Guaranteed Base + Opportunity to Earn More

The dental hygienist position (RDH) includes a guaranteed base wage of $55/hour, along with an optional hybrid compensation model that allows you to earn more based on your adjusted hygiene production. You receive whichever compensation calculation is higher. For a productive dental hygienist, this model can result in compensation equivalent to $65+/hour, while still providing the security of a guaranteed hourly base.

We'll explain the compensation formula clearly during the interview process so you can understand exactly how it works and decide whether it's a good fit for you.

Why You Might Love Working Here

We want our dental hygienists to have the resources, autonomy, and support to provide excellent care without feeling like they're practicing on an island.

You'll be joining an established hygiene team in a practice with:

• A consistent Monday-Thursday schedule


• A large, collaborative hygiene department


• A privately owned practice where decisions are made locally


• Three supportive dentists


• Dedicated dental hygiene operatories


• Modern technology and equipment


• A strong front-office and clinical support team


• An operations coordinator focused on keeping the practice running well


• A busy, established patient base


• A culture that values clinical judgment, teamwork, patient relationships, and having some fun at work

We aren't interested in pressuring patients into treatment or turning hygiene into a sales position. We are interested in providing comprehensive care, diagnosing periodontal disease appropriately, educating patients well, communicating with our doctors, and helping patients make informed decisions about their health.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is a licensed or license-eligible Registered Dental Hygienist in Minnesota


• Provides excellent, evidence-based patient care


• Communicates confidently with patients and doctors


• Is comfortable identifying and discussing periodontal disease


• Enjoys being part of a larger team


• Takes ownership of their schedule and patient experience


• Is dependable, positive, and willing to help teammates


• Wants to continue learning and improving


• New graduates are absolutely encouraged to apply.

We're happy to teach systems and help a new hygienist develop clinically. We'd much rather hire someone with the right attitude and values and give grace during a time of new faces and new opportunities.

What Success Looks Like Here:

Success isn't simply a production number. We value hygienists who provide excellent clinical care, build long-term relationships with patients, diagnose appropriately, educate patients, communicate effectively with doctors, keep their schedules healthy, and contribute positively to the team. We believe that when those things are done well, strong production tends to follow naturally.

Benefits:

• 401(k)


• Dental insurance


• Flexible schedule


• Health insurance


• Life insurance


• Paid time off


• Professional development assistance

Come meet the team, see the office, and decide for yourself whether it feels like the right fit. We look forward to meeting you!
