Job Description

ROLE

Sick of Highway 401 traffic and sky-high rent?

Picture yourself in

Kingston, ON--

cutting your rent nearly in half and swapping a 55-minute slog for a breezy 10-minute drive--all while joining a clinic that truly has your back.
Relocating is a big decision, but the right opportunity makes it worthwhile. If you're a Dental Hygienist who wants less congestion, lower living costs, and a healthier work-life balance, Dr. K & Associates Dental Centre in Kingston, ON could be exactly what you're looking for.

$1,000 Moving Incentive + Full Relocation Support

Forget 45-minute hygiene turnovers, feeling unheard, high-drama offices, or unpredictable pay. At Dr. K & Associates, our hygienists are trusted clinicians and key patient educators--never an afterthought.

Our Values

Values alignment is non-negotiable. It's how we protect and nurture the culture our team has built. As a hygienist here, your role is shaped not only by clinical excellence but by the values we all live every day.

All-In Ownership

- We take full responsibility and never say "not my job." We recognize that we're all working towards a common goal.

High Agency Resolve

- We don't wait for answers--we figure it out and keep going. You understand that you're in charge of your OP.

Sincere, Not Serious

- We take our work seriously, not ourselves :)
These values aren't just posters on a wall. They're the reason our staff feels trusted and empowered. You own your room, your flow, and your impact. We give you the time you need to do it right--with proper cleanings, thorough assessments, and genuine patient relationships. You're not rushed, and your voice matters in how we shape care.

With flexible scheduling and available chair time, you're empowered to customize treatment plans that actually work for your patients--without 9-month+ long waits.

And because we take our work seriously--but not ourselves--you'll be part of a team that supports one another with open communication, light-hearted moments, and mutual respect. Just people who care deeply about what they do, and each other. We trust you to bring initiative, clinical judgment, and authenticity into every interaction.

In this role, you'll deliver high-quality hygiene care, support long-term treatment plans, and help patients build habits that transform their health. If you're ready to be part of a growing office where you're respected, given the time you need, and surrounded by genuinely good people, we can't wait to meet you.
