Seeking FT Dental Hygienist in Oak Lawn, IL

Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) – Comprehensive, Technology-Driven Private Practice

Oak Dental Associates | Oak Lawn, Illinois

Great hygienists don't just prevent disease—they help change lives. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

At Oak Dental Associates, we believe dentistry is about far more than treating teeth. It's about improving health, building relationships, educating patients, and helping people smile with confidence.

We are a privately owned, restorative-focused dental practice that is continually investing in advanced technology, continuing education, and modern clinical techniques. Our goal is simple: to provide the highest level of care while creating an exceptional experience for every patient.

We're looking for a Registered Dental Hygienist who shares that vision—someone who is passionate about patient care, enjoys learning, embraces technology, and wants to practice at the highest level of the profession.

What You'll Do

As a valued member of our clinical team, you'll provide comprehensive preventive and periodontal care while serving as a true partner in our patients' oral health.

Your responsibilities will include:

Comprehensive periodontal evaluations
Adult and pediatric preventive care
Scaling and root planing
Periodontal maintenance
Oral cancer screenings
Digital radiographs and periodontal charting
Thorough clinical documentation
Patient education and preventive counseling
You'll work closely with our doctors to identify disease early, educate patients about their oral health, and help them understand recommended restorative, implant, and orthodontic treatment. We believe informed patients make better decisions, and our hygienists play an essential role in that process.

Why You'll Love Working Here

We're committed to providing our team with the tools, technology, and support they need to succeed.

Our practice features:

Digital iTero scanning
AI-assisted radiograph analysis
Digital clinical documentation
Same-day restorative dentistry
Dental implant therapy
A growing Invisalign program
Experience with digital scanning or Invisalign is welcome, but it isn't required. If you're motivated, curious, and eager to learn, we'll provide the training and support you need to succeed.

Who We're Looking For

Our ideal hygienist is someone who:

Loves building relationships with patients
Is dependable, organized, and punctual
Communicates with confidence and compassion
Takes initiative and enjoys being an active member of the clinical team
Documents clinical findings thoroughly and accurately
Embraces technology and continuous learning
Collaborates well with doctors and teammates
Takes pride in delivering exceptional patient care every day
If you're the kind of professional who asks, "How can I become even better?" you'll feel right at home here.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation
Continuing education and professional development
Hands-on training with advanced technology
Supportive doctors who enjoy mentoring and teaching
A positive, respectful, team-oriented culture
A loyal patient base
The opportunity to build a long-term career in a progressive private practice
Join Our Team

We're not simply looking to fill a hygiene position—we're looking for the next long-term member of our dental family.

If you're excited about practicing high-quality dentistry, embracing innovation, and making a meaningful difference in your patients' lives every day, we'd love to meet you.

We hire for character, coachability, and commitment to excellence. We can teach systems and technology—we can't teach passion for patient care.

Please submit your resume along with a brief introduction telling us why you believe you'd be a great fit for Oak Dental Associates.
