At Lemme Dental Studio, full-time is 3 days per week, and that's exactly what this role offers.

If you're the kind of hygienist who remembers a patient's name, picks up on their nerves, and makes them feel genuinely cared for — you'll fit right in here. We move efficiently behind the scenes, but our patients always feel like they have all the time in the world.

Requirements

• Active Washington State Registered Dental Hygienist license (required)
• Current CPR/BLS certification
• Experience with dental software (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or similar preferred)
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-first environment
• Genuine passion for patient-centered care

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Invisalign, implant maintenance, or cosmetic dentistry workflows

Benefits / Why Join Us
