We believe in investing in our staff, and comprehensive training will be provided to ensure you excel in this exciting role.

We’re seeking someone who is not only compassionate and a true team player but also possesses a strong work ethic. If you have excellent manual dexterity and computer skills, we want to hear from you!

Your typical work week consists of just two days, usually Wednesday & Thursday with potential to pick up additional days to cover for time off for team members. You may be asked rotate working between any of our four locations: Crown Point, Schererville, St. John (opening Fall 2026), and Valparaiso. Your shifts could be during the day, wrapping around 5 PM, or in the evening, until 7 PM.

We believe in rewarding experience, so our compensation is competitive with hygienist wages—not assistant wages.  Plus, we offer a fantastic benefits package that includes a uniform allowance, bonuses, vacation pay, and much more.

We’d love for you to join our team!
