• Assist the periodontist during surgical procedures.
• Educate patients on oral health, periodontal disease, and post-surgical care.
• Perform supportive maintenance therapy for periodontal and implant patients.
• Contribute to a collaborative, patient-focused environment.

Qualifications

• Licensed Dental Hygienist in Massachusetts (required).
• Interest in or prior experience with periodontics, implant dentistry, or surgical assisting (training provided).
• Strong communication and patient education skills.
• A team-oriented mindset with a desire to learn and grow in a specialty setting.

Why Join Us?

• Unique exposure to  surgical periodontics and implant dentistry not typically available in general practice.
• Hands-on mentorship and training from a specialist team.
• Supportive and collaborative environment where your role truly impacts patient outcomes.

If you are passionate about patient care and excited to broaden your skills beyond traditional hygiene, we’d love to hear from you.
