Dental Hygienist

North Thornton Dental – Thornton, CO

We’re excited to add a Registered Dental Hygienist to our 100% dentist-owned, non-corporate practice in Thornton, CO. This role offers competitive pay, meaningful benefits, and the opportunity to join a supportive, close-knit team that values connection, collaboration, and growth.

Our clinical team works three patient days each week, averaging about 30 hours, with alternating schedules that include a four-day weekend every other week. Work-life balance is built into how we operate.

New: Around every 3 months and we are now doing a 6 day weekend. Will will shift a couple days (Week 1: Mon-Wed, Week 2: Wed-Friday) so we can have a time off without losing hours or using PTO. This fits our model of a strong work life balance we already incorporate with our rotating days that give us bi weekly 4 day weekends.
