We are dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care in a supportive, team-oriented environment. We invest in advanced technology — including cone beam CT imaging and in-office 3D printing — and take pride in a clinical culture that values precision, professionalism, and genuine patient relationships.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a skilled and personable Registered Dental Hygienist to join our team four days a week. This is a full-time role in a well-equipped, privately owned practice where your work is valued and your schedule is respected.

Preventative Care: Remove calcareous deposits, accretions, and stains from exposed and subgingival tooth surfaces (comprehensive scaling and debridement)
Periodontal Therapy: Perform nonsurgical periodontal therapy (root planing) and administer localized periodontal therapeutic agents into gum pockets when appropriate
Anatomical Care: Removal of marginal overhangs on existing restorations
Anesthesia Delivery: Administer local anesthetic agents safely and effectively (appropriate Alaska state certification required)
Radiographs: Take and review radiographs, including digital X-rays
Patient Education: Educate patients on oral hygiene and support long-term care planning
Clinical Documentation: Document clinical findings accurately and collaborate with the doctor on patient care
Team Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the doctor and clinical team
Recall System Management: Oversee patient recall duties, monitoring intervals to ensure patients return for timely routine care
Appointment Booking: Schedule future hygiene appointments and manage patient follow-ups before they leave the chair
What We're Looking For
Active Alaska RDH license (or eligibility to obtain)
Strong clinical skills and a warm, patient-centered approach
Reliable, team-oriented, and professional
Experience preferred — new grads with strong clinical training welcome
Compensation & Benefits
