Dental Hygienist

Tend

As a Dental Hygienist at Tend, you’ll deliver top-tier preventive care in a modern, thoughtfully designed studio — with the support of a dedicated dental assistant through our Team (Assisted) Hygiene model. You’ll treat a well-booked schedule of patients with the tools, systems, and support you need to deliver clinical excellence and outstanding patient experiences. At Tend, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive environment where both our patients and our teams feel respected, represented, and truly cared for. Our model is built for driven hygienists: those who value autonomy, crave efficiency, and take pride in high-performance care.

We offer a competitive hourly rate and monthly bonus based on production with top earning Hygienists making $87/hr with bonus. You’ll receive transparency and support to help you thrive — no surprises, just opportunity.

What You’ll Do

  • Deliver comprehensive preventive and periodontal care — including prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, scaling and root planing (SRP), gingivitis scaling, oral cancer screenings, Itero scan, sealants, Zoom whitening, Perio Protect, Curodont, fluoride treatments, and patient education — all in alignment with evidence-based clinical guidelines
  • Collaborate with a dedicated dental assistant to optimize your schedule, manage sterilization and room turnover, and support patient care and documentation
  • Partner with dentists for hygiene exams to identify and recommend treatment plans based on patient needs
  • Proactively drive hygiene production by maximizing chair time, recommending preventive care, and supporting same-day treatment opportunities
  • ​​Work within Tend’s Team (Assisted) Hygiene model, partnering closely with dedicated dental assistants to deliver efficient, high-quality care, enhance the patient experience, and create a more supported, team-driven clinical environment
  • Maintain strong relationships with patients through clear communication, trust-building, and personalized education
  • Collaborate closely with the broader studio team — including doctors, assistants, and operations leaders — to ensure seamless patient care
  • Engage in ongoing professional development through CE opportunities, internal hygiene forums, and peer collaboration
