This Perio practice is seeking an excellent, team player hygienist. The hygienists play a central role in patient care and are considered an integral part of the practice rather than an auxiliary service. In addition to providing exceptional clinical hygiene care, they help drive the practice by administering local anesthesia for the periodontists’ patients and conducting exam-only visits for new patients. During these visits, they help prepare patients for the doctor by explaining recommended treatment and the rationale behind it. Hygienists are expected to work with a high level of independence and to be confident in discussing and recommending treatment options. They also collaborate closely with the practice’s in-house clinical agents to ensure timely and professional communication is sent to referring offices throughout the community.
The practice does not utilize accelerated hygiene, although charting assistance is provided. Restorative skills are not required for this role. Excellent anesthesia skills, strong written and verbal communication, comfortable working independently and presenting treatment recommendations. Clinical experience in private practice is a plus, particularly someone who misses the feel of a doctor owned practice, perhaps after an owner retired or sold. Hygienist is given 70 minute or more, with extra time as needed SRP120-140 minutes. Prioritize excellent care over speed.
Private owned practice for 20 years, with doctor owning 3 locations. Doctor and staff believe employees who are supported and regularly recognized for great work are happy team members. Culture is built on 6 traits that is expected from all team members. Warmth, comfort, creating safety, being stage ready, accountability and teamwork. Performance driven, while recognizing staff has a life outside of work. They make room for kid’s games, and school events, family vacations, and other things that matter, because they want a real work life balance for the team. Office has 11 operatories and several DDS, RDH’s, DA’s and FO. Over the 3 locations there are 40 employees.
This position is available due a hygiene team member relocating out of state to be closer to family.
