Dental Hygienist
About The Position
Aspen Dental dental hygienists are empowered clinicians and trusted oral health providers who partner with doctors to assess oral health, recommend care based on clinical indicators, and educate patients. The role offers autonomy to deliver thorough, patient-centered care 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. Opportunities are available on a full-time, part-time, or PRN basis. Schedules are designed to allow time for thorough assessments, patient education, and meaningful care, with approximately 5–7 patients per day. Hygienists receive two weeks of onboarding and training, digital workflows, and mentorship and clinical support from the Hygiene Support Team. Ongoing learning and career growth are available through TAG University. Compensation is $48–$52 per hour, plus an uncapped incentive plan. 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 location, and terms and conditions apply.
