Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) | Single-Column Schedule

The Smilist Dental | Boston, MA
Full-Time or Part-Time
$55-$62 per hour, based on experience, plus monthly bonus opportunity

One patient at a time. Quality care without the rush.

We understand that joining a larger dental organization can raise questions about patient volume, production pressure, and whether you’ll have enough time to provide the level of care your patients deserve.

Our Boston practice is designed differently.

This is not a high-volume, double-booked hygiene model. Our hygienists work from a single-column schedule with one-hour patient appointments, giving you the time to listen, educate, provide thorough care, and build meaningful relationships without rushing from chair to chair.

At The Smilist Dental, you’ll experience the close-knit feel of a local practice with the technology, benefits, training, and support of a growing dental organization.
