Registered Dental Hygienist

Registered Dental Hygienist

We are seeking a compassionate and patient-focused Registered Dental Hygienist to join our growing private dental practice in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. This is an outstanding opportunity to become part of a practice known for its collaborative culture, long-tenured team, and commitment to delivering exceptional patient care. Our practice believes hygienists should have the time and autonomy to provide exceptional care—not rush through appointments. You'll work from a single-column hygiene schedule with 45-minute appointments, while maintaining the flexibility to extend appointment times whenever clinically appropriate. A dedicated roving clinical assistant provides support with radiographs, room turnover, and scheduling, allowing you to focus on patient care. Whether you're an experienced hygienist or a recent graduate, you'll receive the mentorship and support needed to succeed. New graduates receive structured onboarding and double-hygiene training until they're comfortable practicing independently. We are seeking team-oriented clinicians who are flexible, motivated, and passionate about building lasting patient relationships while delivering comprehensive preventive care.
