Full Job Description
Willoughby Dental Team is hiring: Full-Time Registered Dental Hygienist (30+ hours/week)
If you love patient care and want a team that has your back, we'd love to meet you.
We're hiring a full-time hygienist (30+ hours/week) in Willoughby, OH, aka the historic downtown, local spots to eat, and weekend farmer's market energy. Pay + bonuses + benefits (the part your bank account cares about)
$45-$55/hr
Production-based bonuses available (good care should come with good pay)
Up to $5,000 sign-on bonus
Full-time benefits (30+ hours/week): Medical + Vision, Life Insurance, 401(k), PTO, Paid Holidays, and more
Location perks (because your life is not just operatory lighting)
Willoughby brings the good vibes:
Historic, walkable downtown with local restaurants and shops
Community events like the Saturday farmers market (May-Oct) and seasonal festivals
Quick access to parks/trails along the Chagrin River and Lake Erie nearby
Your doctor team (aka: the people you'll actually like collaborating with)
You'll be supported by a group of doctors with serious training and a patient-first style:
Dr. Richard P. Adelstein, DDS OSU undergrad + Case Western dental, GPR residency, and a career-long commitment to learning through study clubs and professional societies.
Dr. Melanie Adelstein, DMD Case Western grad with a hospital dentistry residency at Loyola, plus ACLS/BLS training. Third-generation dentist who brings both skill and calm to the room.
Dr. Philip J. Weiss, DDS Case Western-trained, leadership experience, and special interest in dental lasers (masters certification/training). Known for a gentle, caring approach.
Dr. Paloma Muñoz Cleveland-based via the Dominican Republic, with experience across oral surgery, implants, endo, restorative, and more. Passionate about comprehensive care and patient outcomes.
Translation: you're not getting "hygiene in a silo." You're getting a team. The job (hygiene, but done right)
Provide excellent preventive + periodontal care (prophys, perio maintenance, SRP as appropriate)
Educate patients in a real-world, no-shame way ("You only floss before appointments?" Great. That means you already own floss. We can build from there.)
Complete thorough assessments and documentation
Collaborate with doctors on treatment planning and oral-systemic health
Maintain strong infection control and a calm, welcoming patient experience
You're a great fit if...
You have an active Ohio RDH license (or can obtain)
You're clinically solid and patient-friendly
You want a practice that respects your time, your skills, and your judgment
You like teamwork, structure, and a workplace that doesn't run on panic
