Registered Dental Hygienist

CAREER OPPORTUNITY
Registered Dental Hygienist
Mission, Kansas | Full-time | $45-$50/hour + monthly team bonus
Do the kind of hygiene you trained for
A hygiene position should give you more than a full schedule. It should give you doctors who value your clinical voice, modern tools that help patients understand their health, clear expectations, competitive pay, and a team that is invested in helping you grow.

Kremers, Forbes & Associates is hiring a full-time Registered Dental Hygienist for our Mission office. This is your home location; there is no cross-location coverage requirement.

We are a private, partner-owned practice—not a corporate chain. Our hygienists are treated as clinicians, educators, and trusted advisors. You will have the opportunity to build lasting patient relationships, participate meaningfully in co-diagnosis, and practice comprehensive hygiene in a modern clinical environment.

What you can expect from us
$45–$50 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated role readiness
A monthly team collections bonus, generally ranging from $200–$600 when earned
Employee health coverage paid by the practice, effective the first of the month following the 90-day Discovery period; HSA benefits are available subject to current plan terms, and dependent coverage is available at the employee’s expense
Dental care for you and eligible immediate family
Six paid holidays
Paid time off beginning after 90 days, accruing at one day for every two months worked up to six paid days, with unused PTO carrying over
Retirement plan beginning January 1 following your first full year of employment, with a 3% employer match
One-time scrub reimbursement up to $400, plus one KFA-branded item after 90 days
A predictable weekday schedule with approximately 38 paid hours: Monday and Thursday 6:30 AM–3:00 PM; Tuesday and Wednesday 7:30 AM–5:00 PM; Friday 6:30 AM–2:00 PM
A structured 30/60/90-day ramp-up, quarterly feedback, and an annual compensation review
One home office and a team you can get to know
A clinical voice—not just a column
We believe patients receive better care when hygienists are empowered to think, communicate, and contribute as clinicians. You will work directly with our doctors to identify disease, educate patients, and create a clear path forward.

Your clinical work will include:
Comprehensive prophylaxis, periodontal charting, SRP, and periodontal maintenance
Local anesthesia and Arestin placement when clinically appropriate
Honest periodontal diagnosis supported by charting, radiographs, and clinical findings
Use OralDNA testing when clinically appropriate to better understand periodontal risk and support individualized patient education and treatment planning.

Patient education using intraoral photographs, iTero scans, and other visual tools
Co-diagnosis of restorative, periodontal, orthodontic, and preventive needs
Confidently helping patients understand clinically appropriate SRP, fluoride, Invisalign, and other recommended care
Identify patients whose clinical findings suggest more complex treatment needs, such as reflux- or airway-related tooth wear, full-mouth rehabilitation, or coordinated orthodontic-restorative care, and help schedule a dedicated records and doctor-consultation appointment so a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed.

Complete documentation and a clear handoff before the patient leaves
Modern dentistry with support to learn it
Our clinical environment includes intraoral photography, iTero, Primescan 2, CBCT imaging, CEREC, and Oryx practice-management software. Experience with every system is not required. We will teach the KFA workflow; what matters is curiosity, coachability, and a willingness to become excellent with the tools.

What success looks like here
Success is not diagnosing to hit a quota. It is seeing disease honestly, explaining it clearly, and helping patients make informed decisions.

Strong hygienists at KFA:
Build trust and long-term patient relationships
Leave patients understanding their diagnosis and the treatment that addresses it.

Give the doctor a clear clinical handoff, including the patient’s concerns, relevant findings, and potential treatment needs, so the doctor can build on the conversation.

Arrive prepared for the day and know the patients in their schedule
Complete charting while the details are current
Help patients reserve their next visit before leaving
Ask for feedback, use it, and keep improving
We provide the same clarity in return. You will receive a written role description, structured onboarding, defined measures of success, regular coaching, and direct conversations about how you are doing. You should never have to guess where you stand.

Who tends to feel at home at KFA
You will likely enjoy this position if you want:
A private-practice environment where people know one another
High clinical standards without corporate pressure
Doctors who value a hygienist’s observations and patient relationships
The opportunity to use technology and grow beyond routine prophylaxis
Clear systems, dependable teammates, and straightforward feedback
A workplace that values Excellence, Professionalism, Growth Mindset, and Caring
What we require
Active Kansas Registered Dental Hygienist license by the start date
Local-anesthesia certification by the start date
Current CPR/BLS certification
Reliable availability for the posted Mission schedule
Clear, respectful patient communication
Sound clinical judgment and complete documentation
Openness to learning and feedback
