PART-TIME Registered Dental Hygienist

Great Patients. 60-Minute Appointments. Supportive Team. No Corporate Chaos.

Schedule: Part-Time | Monday - Wednesday | 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

Practice Type: Family-Owned Private Dental Practice

Are you an RDH who loves dentistry but could do without the rushing, workplace drama, unrealistic schedules, and corporate pressure?

You may have found your new dental home.

We are a family-owned private dental practice looking for a friendly, dependable, and positive Registered Dental Hygienist to join our team part-time.

Our philosophy is simple: take great care of patients, treat each other with respect, communicate like adults, and enjoy coming to work.

What Makes Our Office Different?

60-Minute Hygiene Appointments
Yes — 60 minutes! We want you to have the time to provide quality care, educate your patients, complete your documentation, and build relationships without feeling like you're running a race all day.

A REAL 1-Hour Lunch
Step away. Eat. Recharge. Handle your personal business. Your lunch hour is your lunch hour.

Family-Owned Private Practice
No corporate quotas. No giant chain. Our practice is privately owned and operated, and we value having a team that feels connected to the success of the office.

Peaceful, Drama-Free Culture
We take our workplace culture seriously. We want our office to be professional, welcoming, respectful, and enjoyable. Gossip, cliques, bullying, unnecessary negativity, and workplace drama do not belong here.

Teamwork Actually Means Teamwork
We believe everyone should be willing to help each other when needed. You'll work alongside a team that understands that great patient care is a group effort.

We Want You to Enjoy Your Job!
Dentistry is demanding enough. Your workplace shouldn't make it harder. We want someone who can come in, provide excellent care, laugh with the team, connect with patients, and leave at the end of the day feeling good about the work they accomplished.

What You'll Do

• Provide thorough prophylaxis and periodontal maintenance appointments
• Perform periodontal charting and assessments
• Take diagnostic digital X-rays as prescribed
• Educate patients about oral health and home care
• Review medical and dental histories
• Identify and communicate areas of concern to the dentist
• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Follow infection-control and sterilization protocols
• Help create a comfortable, positive experience for every patient
• Work collaboratively with the doctor, dental assistants, and front-office team

Who We're Looking For

Our ideal hygienist is:

• A licensed Registered Dental Hygienist in New York State
• Friendly, compassionate, and patient-focused
• Reliable and punctual
• Confident clinically while still being open to feedback
• A strong communicator
• Professional and respectful
• Comfortable working independently
• A genuine team player
• Someone who believes a positive attitude matters
• Someone who wants to add to a healthy office culture—not disrupt it

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who wants to stay, grow, and become part of the practice.

The Schedule

Part-Time
Monday - Wednesday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM,

You'll have 60-minute hygiene appointments, giving you the opportunity to focus on quality patient care rather than simply getting patients in and out of the chair.

We believe you can have high clinical standards and a relaxed, enjoyable workplace.

We celebrate wins.
We communicate when there's a problem.
We help each other.
We respect one another's roles.
