Job Description

\n

\n

\n

We’re Tend — Dental Done Differently.

\n

Tend was founded to make going to the dentist something people actually look forward to. We blend thoughtfully designed studios, top-tier clinical care, advanced technology, and a hospitality-driven mindset to create a dental experience that’s human, personalized, and exceptional from start to finish.

\n

Since launching in 2019, we’ve delivered care to over 100,000 patients across New York, Washington DC, Boston, Atlanta, and Nashville. With thousands of five-star reviews and over 650 passionate team members, Tend is one of the fastest-growing and highest-rated dental brands in the country — and we’re just getting started.

\n

Whether you’re delivering care in our studios or supporting our growth behind the scenes, every role at Tend contributes to reimagining the future of dental health — for patients and for the people who care for them.

\n

We’re growing fast — and we’re looking for values-driven, mission-aligned talent to grow with us.

\n

\n

\n

\n

As a Dental Hygienist at Tend, you’ll deliver top-tier preventive care in a modern, thoughtfully designed studio — with the support of a dedicated dental assistant through our Team (Assisted) Hygiene model. You’ll treat a well-booked schedule of patients with the tools, systems, and support you need to deliver clinical excellence and outstanding patient experiences. At Tend, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive environment where both our patients and our teams feel respected, represented, and truly cared for. Our model is built for driven hygienists : those who value autonomy, crave efficiency, and take pride in high-performance care.

\n

We offer a competitive hourly rate and monthly bonus based on production with top earning Hygienists making an additional $10 / hr in bonus. You’ll receive transparency and support to help you thrive — no surprises, just opportunity.

\n

What You’ll Do

\n \n

  • Deliver comprehensive preventive and periodontal care — including prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, scaling and root planing (SRP), gingivitis scaling, oral cancer screenings, Itero scan, sealants, Zoom whitening, Perio Protect, Curodont, fluoride treatments, and patient education — all in alignment with evidence-based clinical guidelines

\n

  • Collaborate with a dedicated dental assistant to optimize your schedule, manage sterilization and room turnover, and support patient care and documentation
  • \n

  • Partner with dentists for hygiene exams to identify and recommend treatment plans based on patient needs
  • \n

  • Proactively drive hygiene production by maximizing chair time, recommending preventive care, and supporting same-day treatment opportunities
