Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) – Change the Way People Feel About Dentistry
Location: West Gate Family Dentistry, St. Charles
Who We Are: West Gate Family Dentistry is a growing, patient-centered practice committed to one simple but powerful mission: to change the way people feel about dentistry.
We believe dentistry should feel different. More personal, more comfortable, and built on genuine relationships. We are creating an environment where patients feel seen, heard, and cared for at a higher level, and where our team feels the same.
Who We’re Looking For: This is not a typical hygiene role.
We are looking for a relationship-driven, patient-focused RDH who leads with empathy and connection, not just clinical skill. Someone who brings energy, presence, and intention into every patient interaction and creates an experience where patients feel comfortable and understood.
You educate in a way that empowers, not overwhelms. You understand that oral health is directly connected to overall health, and you are confident communicating that connection to patients. You take ownership of patient outcomes and your role in the overall experience.
If you believe dentistry can and should feel different, for both patients and teams, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do: Deliver exceptional clinical care with a focus on comfort, trust, and experience. Perform comprehensive periodontal assessments and diagnostics. Educate patients about the connection between oral health and systemic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation, as well as overall wellness. Use visuals and technology to help patients clearly understand their oral and overall health.
Identify opportunities to build trust and support case acceptance through care and education. Collaborate closely with doctors and team members to create a seamless patient experience. Drive reappointment, retention, and continuity of care.
What Success Looks Like: Patients trust you and feel genuinely cared for. You demonstrate strong acceptance of periodontal diagnosis and treatment. Patients leave with a better understanding of how their oral health impacts their overall health. Reappointment and retention remain strong. You consistently deliver a positive, elevated patient experience while continuing to grow personally and clinically.
Compensation: Competitive hourly rate based on experience. Bonus opportunities tied to performance and outcomes. Strong earning potential for high performers.
What We Value: Relationships over transactions. Ownership over excuses. A growth mindset. A team-first mentality. Doing what is right for the patient, always.
Requirements: Active RDH license. Strong clinical and periodontal knowledge. Understanding of oral-systemic health connections. Excellent communication and emotional intelligence. Organized, proactive, and detail-oriented. Experience with advanced dentistry is a plus.
Why Join Us? Be part of a team committed to changing the patient experience. Practice dentistry that focuses on whole-body health, not just teeth. Work in a supportive, aligned, and growth-focused environment. Opportunity for professional and personal development. Make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives every day.
This is more than a hygiene position. This is an opportunity to be part of something that truly makes a difference.
