Job Description

Dental Hygienist – Spokane, WA

Want flexibility without sacrificing support or culture?

We’re growing access to care in Spokane and looking for a Dental Hygienist who wants control over their schedule while being part of a supportive, consistent team.

At Bright NOW Dental, supported by Smile Brands, we have the ability to work with you and be flexible with your schedule. This role feels similar to temping — but better. You’ll work with the same team, care for familiar patients, and enjoy strong operational support, great culture, and a commitment to exceptional patient care.

If you’re passionate about prevention, patient education, and building long-term relationships in a supportive environment, you’ll feel right at home here.

Why You’ll Love This Role

Autonomy with Support

Enjoy the independence of private practice hygiene, backed by a collaborative, experienced team.

Growth Made Easy

Take advantage of mentorship, company-paid CE, and modern technology to continuously expand your skills.

Make a Real Patient Impact

Focus on prevention and education to improve long-term oral health—without feeling rushed.

A Culture That Cares

Join a team that leads with kindness, empathy, and respect, where your voice and contributions matter.

Work Where Life Feels Balanced

A flexible part-time schedule leaves time to enjoy Bonney Lake’s outdoor beauty, local dining, and community events.

Schedule (days/hours)

Monday and Wednesday 8-5; Friday 7-4

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do

  • Deliver high-quality standard of care through preventive treatments, diagnostics, and evidence-based protocols.
  • Educate and motivate patients toward better oral and overall health.
  • Collaborate with dentists and hygiene teammates to co-diagnose and personalize treatment.
  • Create a welcoming, judgement-free environment for every patient.
  • Stay current with new technologies and instruments that advance care.

Qualifications

Who We’re Looking For

  • A licensed dental hygienist who is passionate about patient care, education, and practicing at the top of their scope to improve oral health outcomes.
  • Either an active state hygiene license or eligibility to become licensed (new grads are welcome!)
  • A current CPR certification

Compensation

$52.00-$65 per hour
