Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH)
Join a Practice That Values Quality Over Quantity

Are you a dental hygienist who loves building relationships, educating patients, and providing thoughtful, thorough care? Do you believe oral health is connected to overall wellness? We’d love to meet you!

We’re a growing, patient-centered dental practice looking for a caring, dependable hygienist who wants to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. We believe great dentistry starts with listening, education, and giving both patients and providers the time they deserve.

We want you to feel supported, continue learning, and enjoy the work you do.

What Makes Our Practice Different?

Quality-Focused Scheduling

  • Two-hour appointments reserved for deep cleanings.
  • One-hour appointments for routine prophylaxis/periodontal maintenance visits.
  • Time to focus on patient education, thorough treatment, and individualized care rather than rushing through appointments.

Modern Hygiene Technology

  • Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) to support a systematic, comfortable, and minimally invasive approach to biofilm management.
  • Ozonated water/ gas therapy incorporated into our hygiene protocols.
  • Modern technology and air purification to support a thoughtful, health-conscious clinical environment.

A Whole-Body Approach to Dentistry
We look beyond the teeth! Our practice emphasizes the connection between oral health and overall wellness, including conversations about nutrition, hydration, sleep, breathing, and healthy daily habits.

A Supportive Environment
We’re a small but busy practice that values teamwork, communication, and continuous improvement. We want a hygienist who feels comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and growing into our unique approach to patient care.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Friendly and personable: You enjoy building trust and helping patients feel comfortable.
  • Curious and health-focused: You’re interested in the mouth-body connection and lifelong learning.
  • Reliable and collaborative: You value consistency, communication, and being part of a team.
  • Open to growth: You’re excited to expand your knowledge and develop your clinical skills.

Whether you’re an experienced hygienist or an earlier-career professional eager to grow, we welcome a conversation about how you could fit into our team.

Responsibilities

  • Provide preventive hygiene care, periodontal maintenance, and nonsurgical periodontal therapy within your scope of practice.
  • Assess periodontal health and identify oral health concerns.
  • Take diagnostic radiographs, digital scans, and other appropriate diagnostic records.
  • Educate patients on oral hygiene, periodontal health, and relevant whole-body wellness habits.
  • Use our hygiene technology and clinical protocols to support effective, patient-centered treatment.
  • Maintain accurate clinical records and follow infection prevention and sterilization protocols.
  • Collaborate with the dentist and team to create personalized treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.

Benefits That Grow With You

We want to build a workplace that supports your professional development and work-life balance.

  • Paid holidays: Enjoy designated holidays off with pay.
  • PTO that builds over time: Earn paid time off as you continue with the practice, with opportunities for your balance to grow with tenure.
  • Continuing education support: We contribute toward eligible CE courses and professional development each year because investing in your growth benefits both you and our patients.
  • Meaningful clinical time: Longer appointments allow you to deliver thorough care and build stronger patient relationships.
  • Modern tools and ongoing learning: Work with advanced hygiene technology and continue developing your clinical approach.
  • A close-knit team: Join a growing practice that values your contributions and wants you to succeed.
