WHY BIG SMILE DENTAL?
We believe great hygiene is built on relationships, consistency, and clinical partnership.
You’ll work alongside a collaborative dental team in an established practice where hygienists are an important part of the patient’s long-term care, not simply another column on the schedule.
You’ll also have the support that comes from being part of Star Dental Partners, including benefits, professional-development resources, and operational support, while continuing to work in a practice with its own team, patients, and local identity.
And with two hygienist openings available, this is also a unique opportunity for colleagues or friends who may be interested in making a move together.

Our primary hygiene schedule is:
- Monday-Thursday: 7:45 AM-5:00 PM
- There is also an opportunity for every other Friday from 7:45 AM-2:00 PM, depending on the schedule and needs of the practice.
- We’re open to discussing flexibility with the right candidate.
WE INVEST IN YOU
Professional development shouldn’t stop once you receive your license.
Every hygienist in this role will receive:
- $1,000 each year for continuing education
- Opportunities to learn and grow professionally
- Access to training and resources through Star Dental Partners
- Support as new technology and clinical education opportunities become available
- You’ll also receive 4 weeks of PTO, giving you meaningful time to recharge, travel, spend time with family, or simply have a life outside the operatory.
