Job Summary
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and caring Dental Hygienist to join our growing dental family! In this role, you’ll help patients achieve healthier smiles while creating a comfortable and positive experience every time they visit.
From providing thorough cleanings to educating patients about great oral health habits, you’ll play a key role in helping our community smile with confidence. 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.
What You’ll Do
Perform professional dental cleanings including scaling and polishing to keep smiles bright and healthy.
Review medical histories, check vital signs, and assess patients’ oral health.
Assist with preventive treatments such as fluoride applications, sealants, and digital radiographs using Dexis sensors and Nomad portable X-ray equipment.
Educate patients on brushing, flossing, and preventive care to support lifelong oral health.
Maintain accurate patient records and treatment notes using our electronic dental software system.
Follow strict infection control protocols to ensure a safe and sterile environment.
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.
What We’re Looking For
✔ Valid state Dental Hygienist license and current certification to practice.
✔ Experience working in a dental office with knowledge of dental terminology and anatomy.
✔ Experience with OpenDental is a plus, but not required — we’re happy to train the right candidate.
✔ Strong understanding of infection control, HIPAA compliance, and aseptic techniques.
✔ Experience working with pediatric patients is a plus.
✔ Excellent communication skills and a passion for helping patients feel comfortable and informed.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
✨ Friendly and supportive team environment
✨ Modern technology including CBCT imaging, Dexis sensors, Nomad portable X-ray units, and in-office 3D printing
✨ Opportunity to work in a progressive practice offering general dentistry, implants, and facial esthetics
✨ A fast-paced but positive workplace focused on exceptional patient care
