*Job Overview*
We’re looking for a dental hygienist who wants to enjoy where they work.

At Altitude Family Dental, we’ve built a busy, well-established practice around great patient care, a supportive team, and a work environment where people are treated well. We want our hygienists to have the time, tools, and support they need to provide excellent care without feeling like they’re simply moving patients through a schedule.

We’re looking for a hygienist who enjoys building relationships with patients, takes pride in their clinical skills, and appreciates being part of a team that works together and helps each other out. Whether you’re an experienced hygienist or newer to the profession, we care more about finding the right person for our team than checking every box on a résumé.

We have both part-time and full-time opportunities available and are happy to discuss a schedule that works well for the right candidate.

If you’re looking for a practice where you can do great dentistry, get to know your patients, work with people you enjoy, and feel valued as part of the team, we’d love to meet you.
