* Educate patients on oral health, periodontal disease, and post-surgical care.
* Perform supportive maintenance therapy for periodontal and implant patients.
* Contribute to a collaborative, patient-focused environment.

Qualifications

* Licensed Dental Hygienist in Massachusetts (required).
* Interest in or prior experience with periodontics, implant dentistry, or surgical assisting (training provided).
* Strong communication and patient education skills.
* A team-oriented mindset with a desire to learn and grow in a specialty setting.

Why Join Us?

* Unique exposure to surgical periodontics and implant dentistry not typically available in general practice.
* Hands-on mentorship and training from a specialist team.
