Dental Hygienist- RDH Part Time

Registered Dental Hygienist – Part Time (1 Day/Week)

We are a high-end, fee-for-service dental practice that prides itself on delivering the highest quality patient care through a collaborative, team-oriented approach. We are seeking a professional, compassionate, and motivated Registered Dental Hygienist to join our exceptional team one day per week (any weekday except Friday).

In this part-time role, you will provide comprehensive dental hygiene services with a strong emphasis on patient comfort, education, and individualized care. You will see one patient at a time, with a full hour dedicated to each appointment, allowing for thorough treatment and meaningful patient interaction. Our practice values a personalized approach and takes pride in spending quality time addressing each patient’s unique needs and concerns.

The workday will begin at either 8:30 or 9:00 AM, with flexibility offered for the end time. A one-hour lunch break is provided when working a full day (8:30 AM–4:30 PM). This position has become available due to our current hygienist’s medical circumstances, and we are looking for a candidate who will integrate seamlessly into our established, supportive team.
