WE'RE LOOKING FOR A LEADER
We are looking for a hygienist who does more than simply perform a cleaning.
We want someone who takes ownership of their patients, their schedule, their hygiene department, and their role within the practice.
Our ideal hygienist understands that hygiene is a critical part of the overall success of a dental practice.
You will play an important role in helping patients move from diagnosis → understanding → treatment.
YOUR ROLE WILL INCLUDE:
- Providing exceptional preventive and periodontal care
- Thoroughly assessing patients and identifying areas of concern
- Educating patients about their oral health and treatment needs
- Building trust and long-term relationships with patients
- Preparing patients for the doctor to enter the room and discuss diagnosed treatment
- Helping patients understand the why behind recommended treatment
- Communicating clinical findings clearly with the doctor and team
- Recognizing opportunities for restorative and periodontal care
- Creating a smooth transition from hygiene to the doctor's examination
- Taking initiative rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done
- Contributing ideas to improve patient care, efficiency, and practice growth
- Helping create an exceptional patient experience from start to finish
WE WANT SOMEONE WHO TAKES OWNERSHIP.
The right hygienist will be proactive, confident, and invested in the success of the practice.
We are looking for someone with a "see it, own it, solve it" mentality.
You should be comfortable having meaningful conversations with patients about what you see and why it matters, educating them about their oral health, and preparing them for the doctor's treatment discussion.
You don't have to be the owner to think like one.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
- Licensed Registered Dental Hygienist in Kentucky
- Clinically confident and thorough
- Friendly, professional, and dependable

- Comfortable discussing periodontal and restorative treatment needs
- Motivated by patient outcomes and practice success

- Works well independently and as part of a team
- Wants to grow with a practice
