Dental Hygienist

Job Description

Job Description

Breeze Dental is growing, and we're bringing our third Austin location to life.

We're a privately owned, multi-location practice (not a DSO), and we're doing dentistry differently. At Breeze, we treat oral health as a window to whole-body health. That means we're not just cleaning teeth. We're educating patients, catching what others miss, and building long-term relationships rooted in trust. It's a higher standard, and our hygiene team leads the way.

We're looking for a Registered Dental Hygienist who is:

• Clinically excellent, comfortable with SRP, perio maintenance, GBT Airflow, laser-assisted hygiene, and iTero technology.
• A communicator, not just a clinician. Someone who can connect a perio finding to a patient's overall health.
• Genuinely collaborative. You'll work closely with the clinical team, and your assessments shape treatment conversations.
• Preventive at heart. You believe the best dental appointment is the one that makes the next one easier.

What you'll work with:

GBT Airflow or cavitron, iTero scanners, laser technology, and a team that actually knows how to use them. We invest in tools that make your job better and your care more effective.

What we offer:

Competitive hourly pay that reflects your skill and experience. Health and vision insurance with employer contribution. 401(k) with employer match. Flexible scheduling and real work-life balance. CE allowance aligned with our whole-health philosophy. Monthly wellness and gym reimbursement. A culture that's supportive, not just on paper.

This is not a production-first practice. It's a place where doing right by the patient is always the right call, and where the hygienist is valued as a cornerstone of the care team, not an afterthought. And when you do those things, everything else falls into place.

If that sounds like the practice you've been looking for, we'd love to hear from you. Submit your resume and a brief note about why Breeze feels like the right fit. We read everyone.
