Are you a talented Dental Hygienist ready to elevate your career in a dynamic, patient-centered environment? Look no further. Our thriving Austin practice combines state-of-the-art technology with a genuinely caring team culture. We offer more than a job; we provide a fulfilling professional home where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your work-life balance is a priority.

About the Role & Our Practice

As a key member of our clinical team, you will perform comprehensive oral health assessments, prophylactic cleanings, periodontal therapy, and patient education. You will work alongside a collaborative group of dentists and specialists who respect your clinical judgment. Our Austin office is modern, efficient, and designed for both patient comfort and clinician productivity. We utilize the latest digital radiography, CAD/CAM technology, and electronic health records to streamline your workflow.

Your Typical Day Will Include:

• Conducting thorough oral examinations and cancer screenings.
• Performing precise scaling, root planing, and sealant applications.
• Taking and processing high-quality digital X-rays.
• Developing personalized home care plans and educating patients on oral hygiene.
• Documenting all care meticulously in our digital charting system.
• Collaborating with dentists to create seamless treatment plans.

What We’re Looking For (Requirements)

We need a licensed, compassionate professional who is as committed to patient comfort as they are to clinical excellence. The ideal candidate will be a proactive communicator and a team player.

• Active, unrestricted Dental Hygienist license in the state of Texas.
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from an accredited program.
• Current CPR/BLS certification.
• Minimum of 2 years of clinical experience preferred (new graduates with exceptional clinical skills are welcome to apply).
• Proficiency with dental software (experience with Dentrix or Eaglesoft is a plus).
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a gentle, reassuring chairside manner.

The Comprehensive Benefits Package

We believe in investing in our team’s health, happiness, and professional future. Our benefits are designed to support you holistically.

Health & Financial Wellness:

• Competitive hourly wage or guaranteed daily minimum with production bonus potential.

Why Our Austin Practice Stands Out

Located in the vibrant heart of Austin, Texas, our practice serves a diverse and appreciative patient community. We pride ourselves on a no-drama, collaborative philosophy. The dentists here trust your clinical expertise and do not micromanage. We focus on preventive care and patient education, allowing you to build meaningful relationships and see the long-term impact of your work. Our schedule is designed for predictability and balance—we respect your time outside of work.

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter telling us why you would be a perfect fit for our Austin team.
