If you enjoy building relationships with patients, thrive in a team environment, and take pride in delivering excellent care, we’d love to meet you!

Our modern practice offers a wide range of services — from general dentistry to implants and Botox treatments — using advanced technology such as CBCT imaging, in-office 3D printing, Dexis digital sensors, and Nomad portable X-ray units to provide high-quality, efficient care.

  • Work closely with the dentist during exams and procedures using four-handed dentistry techniques.

Help support a wide range of treatments including general dentistry, implant dentistry, and facial esthetic treatments such as Botox.

✔ Valid state Dental Hygienist license and current certification to practice.

✔ Experience working in a dental office with knowledge of dental terminology and anatomy.
