Dental Hygienist

Are you looking for a great and fun place to work? How about one that is 5 minutes from the beach? The average length of employment in this office is over 29 years and we look forward to meeting our next dedicated team member who is loyal, compassionate, and goes all out for their patients.

This is a drama-free office and we all truly enjoy our work and each other. Our outgoing hygienist is moving out-of-state and we're going to miss her!

Being a hygienist at Coronado Family Dental is about much more than cleaning teeth. It's about developing a long-term relationship with the patients and about having fun!

We're looking for someone with a lot of energy, kindness, and someone who has the heart to educate. We are looking for someone who is looking for their forever office.

Our schedule is one of the best in the business with a Monday-Thursday schedule, starting and ending early on Thursday. Every weekend can be a long weekend!
