Why Hygienists Love Working Here

• Predictable, organized schedule designed to reduce stress and keep your day flowing smoothly
• Strong doctor support and clear communication you’re never left on your own
• Comprehensive care philosophy we diagnose, educate, and treat at a high level
• Modern technology and up to date clinical systems
• Positive, team-first culture where professionalism and kindness matter
• Long-term patients who value relationships and trust your recommendations

This is a practice built for clinicians who want to feel proud of the care they deliver.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive pay: $38–$42/hour (based on experience and fit)
• Opportunity for regular performance and compensation growth
• 401k with employer match
• Monthly health insurance stipend
• Vision insurance
• Generous PTO + six paid holidays

Who You Are

• Licensed Dental Hygienist (RDH)
• Passionate about patient education and clinical excellence
• Team oriented with strong communication skills
• Organized, dependable, and comfortable working within structured systems
• Growth minded and motivated to continually improve

Experience with dental software (Eaglesoft, Dentrix, Curve, etc.) is a plus but not required.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to perform prolonged periods of sitting and standing
