Job Description

Modern Fee-For-Service Practice | 1-Hour Prophies | No Accelerated Hygiene

Are you the type of hygienist who wants to do more than “just clean teeth”? Do you enjoy educating patients, building trust, and truly helping them improve their systemic and oral health?

If so, Dental Wellness of Charlotte might be your new career home.

We are a clinically driven, fee-for-service dental practice seeking an exceptional Dental Hygienist to join our growing team for 32 hours a week (Monday–Thursday). We are passionate about comprehensive care, advanced technology, and creating an elevated patient experience.

This is not a rushed corporate environment. We believe hygienists should have the time, tools, and support needed to provide high-quality care without burning out.

What Makes This Position Different:

• Unrushed Care: 1-hour adult prophies and 1.5-hour SRPs. We never double-book.
• A Protected Schedule: Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM. No weekends.
• A True Partnership: Dr. Shirman maintains an open-door policy. We value your clinical autonomy, and whatever makes the office better and more efficient is always on the table.
• Frictionless Workflows: We run on OpenDental and utilize highly efficient administrative systems so you can focus entirely on patient care, not fighting the computer.

The Clinical Arsenal (Our Tech): We heavily invest in technology and continuing growth. You will have access to:

• EMS Airflow
• iTero scanners & CBCT
• Laser dentistry
• Same-day crowns & 3D printing
• Invisalign & Safe-T Shields

Compensation & Perks:

• Pay: Highly competitive, experience-based compensation
• Retirement: SIMPLE IRA plan
• Health & Wellness: Health insurance and gym membership reimbursement
• Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Extras: Scrub allowance and a team bonus structure based on performance
• Growth: Strong support for Continuing Education (CE). Find a course you love, and we are happy to review and approve it.

Who Thrives Here:

• The Educator: You are passionate about periodontal health and comfortable discussing treatment to help patients understand the "why."
• The Team Player: You are bubbly, personable, and willing to contribute wherever needed to support the overall patient experience.
• The Proactive Thinker: You stay on schedule while maintaining excellent care and can diagnose periodontal disease confidently.
• The Lifelong Learner: You are growth-minded, open to feedback, and excited to continue expanding your clinical skillset.

(New graduates are welcome to apply, though at least 1 year of dental experience is preferred.)

If you are passionate about high-quality dentistry, modern technology, and practicing hygiene at the top of your license in a supportive environment, we would love to meet you.
