As Westchester Gentle Dentistry continues to grow, we're looking for an additional compassionate and motivated Registered Dental Hygienist to join our team in Port Chester, NY.

We believe great dentistry starts with trust. We want every patient to feel comfortable, confident, heard, and supported—and we're looking for a hygienist who shares that philosophy.
