About The Position

Christiansen Dental is hiring a Registered Dental Hygienist to provide patient-centered preventive and periodontal care at its three-doctor practice in Centennial, Colorado. The role offers a single-column hygiene schedule, with 60-minute recall/prophylaxis appointments, 90-minute new-patient appointments, and 60–90-minute scaling and root planing appointments. Hygienists see approximately 6–8 patients per day, with a PPO/fee-for-service patient mix.

The hygienist leads appointments within their clinical scope, assesses periodontal health, educates patients, recommends appropriate preventive and periodontal care, and collaborates directly with the doctor on findings and treatment. The practice emphasizes clinical judgment, patient communication, and sufficient time to build relationships rather than a scripted approach.

The team provides access to experienced hygienists and doctors for clinical questions, case discussions, periodontal calibration, technology training, and professional development. Tools include Open Dental, Overjet AI, digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and digital scanners. Compensation is $55–$65 per hour. A $5,000 sign-on bonus is offered for full-time hires. The posting describes full-time benefits and also notes that part-time options are available.
