Dental Hygienist (RDH)
About The Position
At Aspen Dental, dental hygienists are empowered clinicians and trusted oral health providers. The hygienist partners with the doctor and has autonomy to assess oral health, recommend care based on clinical indicators, and educate patients without being rushed. New graduates and experienced hygienists are supported in a modern clinical environment with advanced technology, structured onboarding, and hands-on training. Independently owned practices have local cultures and access to the stability, resources, and innovation of a national network. The role typically involves seeing 5–7 patients per day, allowing time for thorough assessments, patient education, and meaningful care. Hygienists receive two weeks of onboarding and training, digital tools and workflows to support charting and clinical decisions, and mentorship and clinical support from the Hygiene Support Team. Advanced technology includes voice-activated periodontal charting, TRIOS® 3D scanning, and Videa AI. TAG University offers ongoing learning and career growth through in-person and virtual programs and continuing education. Compensation is $50–$55 per hour, plus an uncapped incentive plan that rewards patient-centered care. Benefits are available to full-time and part-time hygienists, though offerings may vary by location and employment status. Aspen Dental-branded practices are independently owned and operated by licensed dentists and receive non-clinical business support from Aspen Dental Management, Inc.
