Clinical Excellence. Real Earning Potential. Supported Practice Model.
We understand that Colorado hygienists value two things above all else: quality patient care and fair compensation. This opportunity was designed both in mind.
Our Colorado practices operate with a strong clinical leadership presence and a patient-first philosophy. We are focused on providing comprehensive, ethical care while creating an environment where hygienists can thrive professionally and financially.
Compensation That Rewards Your Skill
Competitive hourly base rate
30% of net production (paid when production exceeds base)
No cap on earnings
Additional product commissions
Sign-on bonus (location dependent)
Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, PTO, paid holidays)
Our production model is structured so that if you are providing thorough, complete care — including perio diagnosis, appropriate radiographs, and preventive services — the numbers naturally follow. There is no penalty if production does not exceed base pay.
Collaborative Hygiene Workflow
We use a structured team-based model designed to support, not rush, the hygienist.
Dedicated hygiene assistant assigned to you
Delegation of x-rays, room turnover, instrument processing, polishing and fluoride
Standard one-hour appointments for most procedures
Extended time allowed for periodontal procedures as needed.
The goal is simple:
You focus on assessment, scaling, diagnosis, and patient education — while your assistant supports workflow efficiency.
This model allows many of our hygienists to significantly increase their earning potential while maintaining high standards of care.
- Provide oral hygiene services including prophylaxis, scaling, root planing, polishing, restorations, and application of preventive agents such as fluoride and sealants.
- Accurately chart a review of patient dental history and update as necessary, patient's periodontal health, record provided treatment, and handle patient records securely and in compliance with HIPAA regulations
- Provide assistance as directed by the dentist
- Administer local anesthetics, if allowed by dental practice act
