Dental Hygienist (RDH)
About The Position
At Aspen Dental, dental hygienists are empowered clinicians and trusted oral health providers. The hygienist is a valued clinical partner to the doctor, with autonomy to assess oral health, recommend care based on clinical indicators, and educate patients without being rushed. New graduates and experienced hygienists work in a modern clinical environment supported by advanced technology, structured onboarding, and hands-on training. Independently owned practices foster strong local cultures while benefiting from the stability, resources, and innovation of a national network. The role offers manageable schedules of 5–7 patients per day, a structured two-week onboarding and training program, digital tools and workflows, and mentorship and clinical support from the Hygiene Support Team. Hygienists may gain hands-on experience with voice-activated periodontal charting, TRIOS® 3D scanning, and Videa AI. Ongoing learning and career growth are available through TAG University, including in-person and virtual programs and continuing education. Compensation is listed as $104,000–$114,400 annualized, plus an uncapped incentive plan rewarding patient-centered care. Benefits are available to full-time and part-time hygienists and 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.
