12d • $50 - $55

About The Position

Aspen Dental is hiring a Dental Hygienist (RDH) to provide patient-centered oral health care as an empowered clinician and trusted oral health provider. 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. The role is open to new graduates and experienced hygienists and offers a modern clinical environment, advanced technology, structured onboarding, and hands-on training. Independently owned practices have local cultures and access to the resources and support of a national network.

This is a part-time opportunity with schedules designed to allow thorough assessments, patient education, and meaningful care, typically serving 5–7 patients per day. The position includes a structured two-week onboarding and training period, digital tools and workflows to support charting and clinical decision-making, and mentorship and clinical support from the Hygiene Support Team. Hygienists can gain hands-on experience with voice-activated periodontal charting, TRIOS® 3D scanning, and Videa AI, and pursue ongoing learning and career growth through TAG University.

Compensation is $50–$55 per hour, plus an uncapped incentive plan that rewards patient-centered care. Benefits for full-time and part-time hygienists include medical, dental, and vision insurance; a 401(k) with company match; paid time off; six paid holidays (which may vary for part-time employees); free continuing education through TAG University; disability coverage; an Employee Assistance Program; and pet insurance. Benefits and incentives may vary by independently owned and operated Aspen Dental location, and terms and conditions apply.
