We are looking for an experienced and motivated Registered Dental Hygienist to join our team for 2–3 Saturdays per month.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a hygienist who already has a weekday position but would like to add a consistent Saturday schedule in a well-established, comprehensive dental practice.

We are looking for a clinician who takes pride in providing high-quality care and understands that dental hygiene plays an important role in the patient's overall treatment journey.

Our hygienists are valued as clinicians and partners in patient care, not simply as providers of dental cleanings.
