Permanent Dental Hygienist Job in Los Altos, CA

Who We're Looking For
You're a hygienist who's genuinely good at the craft. You're adaptable — on a slow morning you pitch in without being asked, on a busy afternoon you move efficiently without cutting corners. You've worked in small practices before, or you want to try it. You're not renting a chair; you're looking for a place to belong.
If you clock out the moment your last patient leaves and consider anything outside direct clinical duties "not my job," this isn't the fit. If you take ownership of the space around you and genuinely care about the practice doing well, keep reading.
The Practice
We're a small, independently owned private practice in Los Altos. That means you'll know every patient by name, your clinical input gets heard, and there's no corporate layer between you and the dentist.
Daily schedule: Typically 7–10 patients depending on mix — prophys, perio maintenance, SRP. Some days are prophy-heavy; others are weighted toward periodontal work. Both happen. We need someone who adapts to that.
Clinical support: An assistant is available when you're running behind or a patient arrives early, but this is a small team. Everyone — including hygiene — helps with room breakdown and turnover when needed. That's what a small practice looks like.
Compensation: We’ve designed a compensation model that optimizes your effective hourly rate—meaning you earn more for every hour you are at the chair, without sacrificing your entire week to the office. Our structure is intentionally flexible to reward your productivity and long-term commitment, ensuring that your financial goals are met in fewer, more meaningful work days.
-
Customized Compensation: We offer tiered options based on whether you prefer performance-linked production bonuses or steady, predictable earnings.
-
Modern Benefits: We utilize tax-efficient vehicles like HRAs and Commute Reimbursement to ensure you keep more of what you earn.
-
Lifestyle-Focused: Our models are built to give you back your time.
This isn’t just a job—it’s a career with balance. Whether you’re seeking stability, growth, or a practice that aligns with your values, we’re here to support your goals without burning you out. Let’s redefine what it means to thrive in dental hygiene—together.
