We are looking for a compassionate and skilled Dental Hygienist to join our dental care team. The Dental Hygienist will provide high-quality preventive oral care, educate patients on oral health, and support the dentist in delivering comprehensive dental services. This is not a typical dental office—we are committed to excellence in every detail and only accept exceptional work. We take pride in offering a truly elevated patient experience, and we’re looking for someone who shares our passion for top-tier care and outstanding service.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform dental cleanings, including scaling, polishing, and removing plaque and tartar.
  • Apply fluoride treatments and sealants as needed.
  • Take dental X-rays.
  • Conduct oral cancer screenings and periodontal assessments.

  • Associate degree in Dental Hygiene from an accredited program (Bachelor’s degree preferred).
  • Current state licensure as a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH).
  • Certification in local anesthesia and radiography as required by state law.
  • Proven ability to provide exceptional, patient-centered care —this is not just a routine dental office; we go above and beyond for every patient.
  • Must be genuinely friendly, kind, and welcoming , creating a positive and comfortable experience for all patients.
  • Strong knowledge of dental terminology, procedures, and best practices.
  • Excellent manual dexterity and attention to detail.
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Compassionate, patient-focused, and team-oriented.
Work Environment:

  • Our practice is centered around quality, not quantity. We take our time with every patient to ensure they feel heard, cared for, and valued. Each hygiene appointment is scheduled for a full hour, allowing you to build meaningful relationships and provide thorough, unrushed care. You’ll be part of a supportive, patient-focused team that prioritizes comfort, kindness, and excellence in every interaction.
Schedule:

  • Full-time or part-time position; schedule may include evening or Saturday hours depending on the practice.
