Find Dental Work in New Jersey

The Smilist Dental | Bridgeton, New Jersey
Full-Time or Part-Time
Starting at $55 per hour + Monthly Bonus Opportunity
$5,000 Sign-On Bonus for Qualified Candidates

One patient at a time. A single-column schedule. More time to provide exceptional patient care.

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

Our Bridgeton practice takes a different approach.

Our hygienists work from a single-column schedule, allowing you to focus on one patient at a time rather than managing multiple patients simultaneously. You will have the opportunity to listen, provide thorough care, educate patients about their oral health, and build lasting relationships.

At The Smilist Dental, you will experience the welcoming feel of a local practice with the technology, benefits, and professional support of a growing dental organization.
