Job Description
About the role
Elevated Community Health is a federally qualified health center serving Colorado's mountain communities. The dental team is looking for one registered dental hygienist to split time between the school based health center at Summit Middle School and the main clinic in Frisco, delivering care to patients who often have nowhere else to turn.
This is a role built for a hygienist who wants variety instead of monotony. Half the week is spent working autonomously in a school setting alongside co-located medical and behavioral health teams, and the other half in an integrated main clinic. The schedule is genuinely humane: no appointment shorter than an hour, 90 minute periodontal blocks, and no more than about eight patients on the longest day. New grads with the right mindset are welcome and encouraged to apply.
And yes, the right person gets to do this work surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. Summit County sits in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, with Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin nearby and Vail 45 minutes away. Work Tuesday through Friday and take three day weekends in a genuinely gorgeous place to live and play.
What you'll do
Serve as the hygienist for the school based health center at Summit Middle School roughly half of your time (September through May), with the other half at the main clinic in Frisco
Deliver asynchronous teledentistry in the school setting using a Nomad handheld unit and digital sensors, acting as the eyes, ears, and hands for the dentist and sending data back for treatment planning
Treat a roughly 50/50 mix of adults and kids at the main clinic; most patients 14 and under are seen by the pediatric practice down the hall
Provide meaningful periodontal therapy for patients working hard to save their teeth, with two 90 minute quad SRPs and six one hour appointments (prophys, perio maintenance, D4341, D4346) on a full clinic day
Provide oral hygiene education, case management, and referrals, and coordinate care with medical, behavioral health, and community partners
Work Tuesday through Friday, approximately 37 hours per week, with shorter days in the school setting and a 5:00 close on Fridays
What you need
Active Colorado dental hygiene license (2026 grads and relocating candidates encouraged to apply)
Current CPR certification
Colorado local anesthesia certification, or willingness to obtain it within one year (ECH may cover the course cost)
A genuine passion for variety and a mission driven mindset. This is not easy hygiene, and the patients are counting on you
Comfort with digital systems (all digital radiography, Microsoft Office)
Compliance with ECH's vaccine requirements
Nice to have
Fluency in Spanish
Nitrous certification (administration is not required during hygiene appointments)
Laser experience (ECH can send you to a course)
Prior experience in a dental office, community health, or school setting
Familiarity with the Summit County mountain community
Why Elevated
Student loan repayment eligibility of up to $90,000 through state and national FQHC programs once licensed, a real difference maker for new grads
A full paid week of continuing education each year plus $1,000 toward course expenses
A four day week with no weekends and a schedule that respects your hands and your patients
An experienced, stable hygiene team with roughly 150 combined years of practice, including one hygienist still going strong after 50 years
Full benefits package: group health, dental, and vision, 401(k) with employer match, employer paid life, AD&D, and long term disability, PTO, paid holidays, a floating holiday, and sick pay
$100 annual scrub allowance with clinic jackets provided and laundered
Fringe perks built for mountain life, including a shared ski medallion and a discounted Rec Center membership
A stunning mountain setting with year round outdoor recreation
The chance to bring whole person, integrated care to kids and families who would not be reached anywhere else
Pay: $55.00 - $60.00 per hour
Benefits:
401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Employee discount
Health insurance
Health savings account
Life insurance
Paid time off
Parental leave
Tuition reimbursement
