If you’re a dental hygienist who takes pride in delivering exceptional patient care and values being trusted as a clinical professional, you’ll feel right at home at Monarch Dental & Orthodontics.
Here, you’re not just filling a schedule — you’re building relationships, educating patients, and practicing at the top of your license in an environment designed to support you.

Culture matters. We prioritize kindness, communication, and teamwork. This is an environment where your voice is heard, your time is valued, and your contributions are recognized.
Technology & Stability That Make Your Day Easier
Modern equipment, efficient systems, and strong operational support allow you to focus on what you do best — caring for patients — without unnecessary stress.
If you’re looking for a hygiene role where you’re respected as a professional and supported as a person, we would love to connect.
Apply today and let’s talk about what your ideal next chapter looks like.

Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
Provide thorough, patient-centered care you can be proud of — from preventive treatments to thoughtful assessments, using up-to-date tools and techniques.
Build real connections with patients by educating them in a supportive, non-judgmental way that actually helps them improve their oral health.
Work closely with doctors and fellow hygienists to co-diagnose and create treatment plans that make sense for each patient — your input matters here.
Create a calm, welcoming space where patients feel comfortable, heard, and respected.
Stay hands-on with modern technology and instruments that make your work easier and your care better — with support to keep learning as things evolve.

Enjoy educating patients and practicing at the top of your scope, with the time and support to do it well.
Are a new grad or experienced hygienist — we’re happy to support you either way.
