Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) - Calm, Private Practice
First Impression Dental - Arlington, MA (Mass Ave)
About Us: If you are looking to step away from the fast-paced corporate dental environment and find a more sustainable way to practice, we built our office to be different. We believe that clinical excellence requires time, and that a great career shouldn't come at the cost of your peace of mind.
We are a modern, fully digital, one-doctor private office. We focus entirely on relationship-based care, meaning we treat our patients like family and our team with genuine respect. If you're looking for a calm, stable environment where your time and experience are truly valued, we'd love to have you.
Why you'll love your days here:
* True 1-hour appointments: We never double-book you. You actually have time to do your best work and connect with patients.
* A manageable pace: We care about quality, not speed. The schedule is lower-volume and low-stress.
* Modern tools that work: Digital X-rays, CBCT, intraoral scanners, and paperless charting so your workflow is smooth.
* A clean, comfortable space: A beautiful, renovated office with top-tier air purification.
* Respect for your personal life: No evening or weekend hours. When you're off the clock, your time is entirely yours.
* No parking stress: You get your own free, dedicated staff parking spot.
The Benefits
* Competitive hourly pay
* Health insurance
* 401(k) with employer match
* Paid time off, vacation, and paid holidays
* Free parking
Compensation:
$50 - $65 hourly
Responsibilities:
What you'll be doing:
Just what you do best—providing great preventive care (prophys, perio maintenance, sealants), taking digital X-rays, keeping clean charts, and helping our patients understand their oral health. You'll partner closely with the doctor to look after patients for the long haul.
Qualifications:
Who we're looking for:
You need a valid Massachusetts Dental Hygiene License and strong clinical skills, but just as importantly, we want someone with a gentle chairside manner and a mature, down-to-earth attitude. We have a peaceful team and want to keep it that way. Experience is great, but finding the right human fit for our office culture matters most.
To Apply: Skip the formal cover letter. Just send over your resume and a quick note introducing yourself. Tell us what you're looking for in a workplace—we'd love to chat.
