Four Days of Dentistry. Three Days to Enjoy the Mountains.

What if your regular weekend included skiing, golf, mountain biking, fishing, pickleball, hiking-or simply slowing down and enjoying the mountain views?

That's life in Angel Fire.

Angel Fire Family Dentistry is looking for a Dental Hygienist to join our year-round practice in the heart of New Mexico's Enchanted Circle. As the only dental office in town, we have the unique opportunity to build meaningful relationships, become part of the community, and care for the people who call this mountain town home.

And with a four-day workweek and recurring three-day weekends, you'll actually have time to enjoy everything the area has to offer.

A Different Approach to Dentistry

Our practice takes a biological approach to dentistry, with an emphasis on whole-body health, biocompatible materials, clinical wellness, and individualized patient care.

We're looking for a hygienist who values excellent clinical care, meaningful patient relationships, and being part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

This Isn't Just a Mountain Town. It's a Four-Season Community.

Angel Fire is surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and offers the kind of outdoor lifestyle people travel to New Mexico to experience.

  • Winter: Skiing, snowboarding, snow sports, and bluebird mountain days.
  • Spring: Warmer days, mountain trails, wildflowers, and the start of another outdoor season.
  • Summer: Golf, tennis, pickleball, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and beautiful mountain weather.
  • Fall: Crisp air, changing aspens, and some of the most beautiful scenery of the year.

With Angel Fire Resort right in the community and year-round recreation throughout the Enchanted Circle, there's always something to do when you're off the clock. You don't have to save the mountain getaway for vacation.

You get to call it home.

Come for the Opportunity. Stay for the Lifestyle.

If you're looking for more than your next hygiene job-if you want a great team, meaningful patient relationships, professional growth, strong benefits, and a place you could genuinely see yourself calling home-we'd love to meet you.

Four days of dentistry. Three days in the mountains. Four seasons to enjoy it all.
