Dental Hygienist

Dental Hygienist — No Insurance Games, Advanced Technology, Four-Day Week
Casco Bay Smiles | Falmouth, Maine | Tuesday–Friday
Tired of patients who only care what insurance covers instead of what's best for their health? Tired of being pushed to upsell treatment patients don't need? Tired of hand-scaling all day with outdated instruments and no time to connect with anyone?

If that sounds familiar, keep reading.

Casco Bay Smiles is an independent, fee-for-service practice in Falmouth, with one of the most advanced hygiene departments in the state. We're growing — expanding the practice and adding a doctor — and we're looking for an experienced hygienist to grow with us. Led by a Kois-trained dentist serious about clinical excellence, we practice consistent, evidence-based dentistry built on proven clinical systems — not on what insurance will cover. You'll be a thorough, comprehensive clinician who educates patients and presents the ideal treatment they need — never pushing, never overselling. Do excellent work, and everything else follows. And you won't be working alone. We have a stable, experienced hygiene team that takes the work seriously and pushes each other to be better.

Our hygiene program:
Advanced periodontal care built on the latest protocols, including diode laser therapy for non-surgical treatment and saliva testing to guide periodontal therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy with air-powder polishing — gentler on patients and far easier on your hands, wrists, neck, and back than a full day of hand scaling
Full digital workflow — Planmeca CBCT, Medit scanners, and intraoral photography
60-minute recare and 90-minute new-patient appointments — real time to do thorough work, with longer blocks for SRP and new patients
Clear, evidence-based clinical protocols and regular calibration — the whole team practices to the same high standard, so care is consistent and you're always supported
Real room to grow — expand your skills, take on advanced cases, and move toward a clinical leadership role
Schedule (Tues–Fri): Tues & Thurs 7–4, Wed 8–5, Fri 8–3. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before patient care for the morning huddle and stay about 30 minutes after to wrap up the day.

Compensation: $44–47/hour based on experience, plus a production bonus that rewards quality care.

Benefits:
Four weeks of paid time off
Employer-contributed health insurance
401(k) with employer match
Continuing education reimbursement
Free and discounted dental care for you and your family
What we're looking for:
Active Maine RDH license (experienced preferred; an exceptional new grad may be considered)
Driven to do excellent, comprehensive work — and rewarded for it, with a bonus that reflects the quality of care you deliver
A strong communicator who builds real trust with patients
Committed to continuous learning and a high standard of care
A team player who values accountability, gratitude, and trust
If you got into hygiene to help people and practice at a high level, we want to hear from you. Apply with your resume and a short note about what's been missing in your current role.

Pay: $44.00 - $47.00 per hour
