M-T 8-4, full-time preferred, part-time available About Us Hilltop Dental is a general dentistry practice built around a simple idea: patients should feel genuinely cared for, not processed. Our office is a historic, family-built home we've converted into a warm, comfortable space — patients notice the difference the moment they walk in, and we think you will too. We're growing our hygiene department and looking for a permanent hygienist to be a consistent, trusted presence for our patients — not rotating coverage. We practice evidence-based, honest dentistry: clinical decisions here are never driven by production goals or insurance reimbursement. We're looking for someone who already works that way.
