Dental Nook

Dental Hygienist | $50–$75/hr | 3–5 Days/Week | Patient-Focused Private Practice.

Dental Nook — Colorado Springs, CO.

Come to work. Take care of gums. Make a difference. Leave the drama at the door.

We're looking for a dental hygienist who wants to practice great hygiene, not just clean teeth.

At Dental Nook, we believe hygienists are healthcare professionals who play a critical role in diagnosing periodontal concerns, educating patients, and helping people achieve long-term oral health.

We're not looking for someone to simply get through a schedule. We're looking for someone who takes ownership of their patients' periodontal health, values clinical excellence, and enjoys working with a team that has the same goals.

If you're tired of workplace drama, inconsistent expectations, and feeling like your clinical skills aren't valued, we'd love to meet you.

Pay — Clear Expectations, Competitive Compensation.

$50–$75 per hour, depending on experience, responsibilities, and scheduling model.

• Single-column hygiene: Starting at $50/hour
• Supported double-column hygiene: Opportunities to earn up to $75/hour
• Flexible scheduling: 3–5 days per week

Our goal is to create a compensation structure that rewards excellent care, efficiency, and teamwork without compromising the patient experience.

A Practice That Takes Periodontal Health Seriously.

We believe dental hygiene is about more than polishing teeth.

Our hygienists are essential clinical partners in helping patients recognize, understand, and manage periodontal disease.

You'll be encouraged to:

• Perform thorough periodontal evaluations and accurately chart findings.
• Recognize gingivitis, periodontitis, and changes in periodontal health.
• Provide high-quality scaling and root planning when indicated.
• Educate patients about the connection between oral health and overall health.
• Help patients understand why periodontal maintenance matters.
• Work closely with doctors to develop appropriate, predictable treatment plans.
• Build relationships with patients who trust your recommendations.

We want clinicians who aren't afraid to educate patients about what they need — and who never recommend treatment they don't need.

Your Schedule. Your Patients. Your Clinical Expertise.

We want you to be able to focus on doing great dentistry.

Our goal is to provide:

• Organized scheduling and clear clinical expectations.
• Support from trained dental assistants.
• Modern equipment and technology.
• Collaborative doctors who respect your clinical findings.
• A team that values patient education and quality care.
• Opportunities for both traditional and assistant-supported hygiene workflows.

We believe that when hygienists are supported, patients receive better care.

The Culture — No Drama, Just Good People Doing Good Work.

We're building a team of professionals who genuinely enjoy coming to work.

That doesn't mean every day is easy. Dentistry gets busy, schedules change, and challenges happen.

What matters is how we respond.

Here's what we believe:

• Show up on time and ready to work.
• Treat patients like people, not production numbers.
• Take pride in your clinical work.
• Communicate directly and respectfully.
• Help your teammates when they need it.
• Take responsibility instead of making excuses.
• Leave gossip, negativity, and unnecessary drama outside.

We work hard, we support each other, and we believe everyone deserves to go home feeling proud of the care they provided.

What We're Looking For:

Required:

• Active Colorado Registered Dental Hygienist license.
• Excellent periodontal assessment and clinical hygiene skills.
• Strong patient education and communication skills.
• Dependability, professionalism, and a team-first attitude.

Preferred:

• Laser certification.
• Local anesthesia certification.
• Experience with periodontal therapy and maintenance.
• Comfort using modern dental technology.
• Experience in a productive, team-oriented practice.

Experienced hygienists are encouraged to apply. Motivated new graduates are welcome to apply as well.

Benefits and Opportunities:

• Competitive hourly compensation.
• Flexible 3–5 day workweek.
• 401(k) with employer matching.
• Sick leave.
• Employee dental benefits.
• Opportunities for professional development.
• Supportive, privately owned dental practice.

Ready for a Better Fit?

We're looking for someone who loves dental hygiene, takes periodontal disease seriously, and wants to be surrounded by people who care about doing things right.

You don't need to be perfect. You do need to care, communicate, and take pride in your work.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
