Dental Hygienist — Full-Time Income, Part-Time Schedule

Finished by 3:00. Every day. Never work a Friday.
27 clinical hours a week. $83,000 to $98,000+.

Monday through Wednesday, 8:00 to 3:00. Thursday, 8:00 to 2:00. That is the whole schedule. No nights, no weekends, no Fridays, and no 6:40 a.m. start.

Twenty-seven hours is part-time hours. The pay is not part-time pay. That is the entire idea behind this position, and we built the practice around it on purpose.

The comparison nobody does for you:
- Most full-time hygiene jobs in Cincinnati run 32 to 39 hours a week. The highest-paying ones start before 7:00 a.m. and run past 5:00 p.m. four days a week.
- With us, you’ll work roughly 500 fewer hours a year and still make a great income. That is twelve working weeks of your life back, every year, permanently.

What you are actually paid:
Most hygiene postings say "competitive pay." Here is the actual arrangement...
- You are paid 32% of adjusted production on everything performed in your chair, excluding the doctor exam.
- We are privately owned and fully fee for service, so adjusted production runs about 98% of gross. There are no insurance write-offs eating your number and no PPO fee schedule setting a ceiling on it.
- A hygienist who maintains and/or builds their schedule and drives perio acceptance earns more. There is no cap.

What the job actually is:
- Fee for service, cosmetic and restorative. No PPO write-offs, no insurance-driven treatment planning.
- 60-minute minimum appointments. (Except for young kids.) Single column. You are not being asked to do a prophy in 40 minutes.
- No daily production quota handed down from anyone. No regional manager. No corporate scorecard.
- Full clinical autonomy on perio recommendations and recall intervals.
- 3 hygiene rooms, with iTero, Cavitron, Pearl AI (x-ray and voice notes), Florida Probe perio charting.

Being straight with you about the package:
This is a production-based role, structured the same way we pay our associate dentists. There is no health insurance contribution and no paid holidays.

Who this is really for:
- If you want to maximize income and you do not care what time you get home, there are practices in this city that will pay you more than this.
- This position is for the hygienist who wants to do school pickup every single day. Who went part-time or per diem for schedule reasons and took the pay cut to do it. Who is tired of learning a new practice management system every Tuesday.

You should not have to choose between the schedule and the paycheck. Here you do not.
