Dental Hygienist

Our service-oriented general dental practice is seeking a full-time dental hygienist to join our team. Our long-term hygienist will be relocating next year, and we are looking for the right person to become their long-term replacement. We are prepared to have the right candidate begin as soon as possible.

The ideal candidate for our small, family-style practice is personable, outgoing, team-oriented, and committed to providing both excellent clinical care and an exceptional patient experience.

Our office consists of one doctor and a close-knit team of three. We schedule one patient at a time, allowing our hygienist to provide personalized, high-quality care without the pressure of an accelerated or overlapping schedule.

This is a full-time, four-day-per-week position with compensation of $60–$66 per hour, depending on experience and fit. Benefits include employer-supported health insurance, paid time off and retirement matching.

Our practice features current-generation Cavitron 300 ultrasonic systems, digital radiography, and Eaglesoft practice management software.

We are looking for someone who values teamwork, enjoys building long-term relationships with patients, and wants to become an important part of a supportive, patient-focused practice. We are actively hiring and are ready to welcome the right candidate as soon as they are available to begin.

We believe in developing a connection with our patients while also providing our patients with the best possible care delivered with a personal touch. If you share this philosophy, we would love to hear from you!
