What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dental Hygienist position at Cottonwood Dental?
About Us
Cottonwood Dental is a biological and functional dental practice focused on whole-body health. We go beyond traditional dentistry, connecting oral health with overall wellness and offering services outside the norm.
We’re a team-oriented, growth-driven office that values strong relationships, clear communication, and high standards of care—for both our patients and our team.
About the Role
This is not your typical hygiene position.
Our hygienists take the lead on appointments—guiding patient conversations, educating on oral-systemic health, and helping drive treatment decisions. We’re looking for someone who is confident, proactive, and ready to play a key role in patient care.
What We’re Looking For
- Valid Nebraska Dental Hygienist license
- Strong communication and patient care skills
- Confidence in leading appointments and patient discussions
- Team-oriented with a high level of accountability
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Interest in biological/functional dentistry (or willingness to learn)
Benefits
- Competitive pay (starting wage is negotiable)
- Paid time off
- Employer-matched SIMPLE IRA
- Continuing education opportunities
- Supportive, team-focused environment
If whole-body health and whole-team support sound like your kind of dentistry, we’d love to connect!
