Job Description

Overview

Offering $10K Sign On Bonus!

Clinical Excellence. Real Earning Potential. Supported Practice Model.

We understand that Colorado hygienists value two things above all else: quality patient care and fair compensation. This opportunity was designed both in mind.

Our Colorado practices operate with a strong clinical leadership presence and a patient-first philosophy. We are focused on providing comprehensive, ethical care while creating an environment where hygienists can thrive professionally and financially.

Compensation That Rewards Your Skill

• Competitive hourly base rate

• 30% of net production (paid when production exceeds base)

• No cap on earnings

• Additional product commissions

• Sign-on bonus (location dependent)

• Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, PTO, paid holidays)

Our production model is structured so that if you are providing thorough, complete care — including perio diagnosis, appropriate radiographs, and preventive services — the numbers naturally follow. There is no penalty if production does not exceed base pay.

Collaborative Hygiene Workflow

We use a structured team-based model designed to support, not rush, the hygienist.

• Dedicated hygiene assistant assigned to you

• Delegation of x-rays, room turnover, instrument processing, polishing and fluoride

• Standard one-hour appointments for most procedures

• Extended time allowed for periodontal procedures as needed.

The goal is simple:
You focus on assessment, scaling, diagnosis, and patient education — while your assistant supports workflow efficiency.

This model allows many of our hygienists to significantly increase their earning potential while maintaining high standards of care.

Responsibilities

• Provide oral hygiene services including prophylaxis, scaling, root planing, polishing, restorations, and application of preventive agents such as fluoride and sealants.
• Accurately chart a review of patient dental history and update as necessary, patient's periodontal health, record provided treatment, and handle patient records securely and in compliance with HIPAA regulations
• Provide assistance as directed by the dentist
• Administer local anesthetics, if allowed by dental practice act

What Makes Our Office Different

• Strong clinical leadership presence

• Established patient base

• Experienced doctors and tenured teams

• Growing investment in technology, including AI integration

• Emphasis on patient experience and long-term relationships

Our focus is on creating a collaborative, clinically driven environment where hygienists feel respected, supported, and appropriately compensated.
