Job description

Overview

Midwest Dental in Winona, supported by Smile Brands, is growing — and we’re looking for a Dental Hygienist who wants to grow with us. This is more than a hygiene role — it’s your opportunity to be part of a team that’s building something special. If you’re passionate about patient care, want to work at the top of your license, and thrive in a collaborative, positive environment, you’ll feel right at home here.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Be Part of a Growing Team: Join a practice that’s expanding — with a strong patient base and a team excited about the future.
• Practice with Purpose: Focus on prevention, education, and long‑term patient health — not just production.
• Supportive, Collaborative Culture: Work alongside doctors and teammates who value your input, respect your time, and support your success.
• Growth & Development Built In: Company‑paid CE, mentorship, and opportunities to expand your clinical skills.
• Work‑Life Balance That Matters: A schedule designed to support both your career and your life outside of work.

Responsibilities

• Provide exceptional preventive and periodontal care.
• Educate patients on oral health and personalized treatment needs.
• Perform SRP, prophy, periodontal maintenance, and screenings.
• Partner with the doctor to co‑diagnose and improve patient outcomes.
• Build lasting relationships that keep patients engaged and returning.
• Deliver high‑quality standard of care through preventive treatments, diagnostics, and evidence‑based protocols.
• Educate and motivate patients toward better oral and overall health.
• Collaborate with dentists and hygiene teammates to co‑diagnose and personalize treatment.
• Create a welcoming, judgement‑free environment for every patient.
• Stay current with new technologies and instruments that advance care.

Qualifications

• Licensed Dental Hygienist in Minnesota (or soon to be licensed), active state hygiene license or eligibility to become licensed (new grads welcome).
• Strong communication and clinical skills.
• Passion for patient care and education.
• Positive, team‑first mindset.
• Current CPR certification.
• New grads welcome — we’re excited to support your growth.

Benefits & Compensation

• Competitive hourly pay ($50‑$55) plus bonus opportunities and up to $10,000 sign‑on bonus.
• Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc.).
• Company‑paid CE and ongoing development.
• Supportive leadership team invested in your success.
• Workplace culture where you’re valued and heard.
• Paid time off, health insurance, life and disability insurance, pet insurance, and other employee benefits.
