Registered Dental Hygienist

Full-Time Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) | Single-Column, Patient-Focused Schedule

Compensation: $50-$55 per hour, based on experience

One patient at a time. Adequate appointment time. Thoughtful care that never feels rushed.

At The Smilist Dental, our hygienists are trusted clinical partners who play an essential role in the patient experience. At our Catskill practice, you will have the time, autonomy, technology, and team support needed to provide thorough care and build lasting relationships with your patients.

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 Catskill practice is designed differently.

Our hygienists work from a single-column schedule with adequate time planned for each patient. This allows you to listen, educate, deliver thoughtful care, and help patients feel comfortable and confident without rushing from chair to chair.

You will experience the close-knit, collaborative environment of a local practice with the resources, benefits, technology, and stability of The Smilist.
