Job Description

We're looking for more than a dental hygienist. We're looking for someone who can be the

first point of trust

for our patients -- the person who welcomes them in, puts them at ease, and helps them understand their oral health in a way that truly makes sense.

In our practice, the hygienist is not just a clinician. You are a patient advocate, educator, and translator -- the bridge between patient and dentist. You'll have the interpersonal skills to build rapport quickly, the confidence to speak up for your patients when needed, and the patience to explain complex topics in everyday language.

We believe this role has the power to shift how patients think about dentistry -- from something they avoid, to something they value. If that excites you, you might be exactly who we're looking for.
