About Us We are a privately owned, non‑corporate dental practice that prides itself on warmth, integrity, and truly personalized patient care. Our office is built on relationships — not quotas — and we’re looking for a hygienist who shares that philosophy. If you value connection, compassion, and clinical excellence over high‑pressure production metrics, you’ll feel right at home here.

Position: Dental Hygienist (Full‑Time or Part‑Time)

• Genuinely patient‑focused — someone who takes the time to educate, reassure, and build trust.

• Clinically meticulous — committed to high‑quality care and ethical practice.
• Team‑oriented — we work collaboratively, support one another, and maintain a positive environment.
• Motivated by care, not just compensation — we want someone who finds fulfillment in helping people, not rushing through appointments.

What Makes Our Office Different

• No corporate pressure, no upselling, no production quotas.
• Longer appointment times so you can treat patients thoroughly and comfortably.
• A supportive team that values your input and respects your professional judgment.
• A calm, welcoming environment where patients feel like family.
• Modern technology, organized systems, and a leadership team that listens.

Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive, gentle hygiene care including prophylaxis, periodontal therapy, and patient education.
• Build strong patient relationships through communication and empathy.
• Collaborate with the dentist and team to ensure seamless, high‑quality care.
• Maintain accurate charting and uphold the highest infection‑control standards.

Qualifications

• Active Dental Hygiene license in NJ
• Strong communication skills and a personable demeanor
• Commitment to ethical, patient‑centered care
• Experience is preferred, but we welcome new grads with the right mindset
