Registered Dental Hygienist

Peak Periodontics & Implants | North Reno

Practice hygiene the way you were trained to practice it—with the time to actually care for your patients.

You became a dental hygienist to help people improve and maintain their health—not to spend every day racing against the clock.

At Peak Periodontics & Implants, we're looking for a Registered Dental Hygienist who values exceptional patient care, enjoys building relationships with patients, and wants to be part of a clinical team where quality comes before volume.

Our hygienists typically see just 6–8 patients per day, giving you the time to provide thorough periodontal care, educate your patients, document appropriately, and build relationships without feeling like you're constantly running behind.

And you'll do it on a four-day work week.

Who We Are

Peak Periodontics & Implants is a private periodontal and implant practice located in North Reno.

Our purpose is simple:

Supporting the smiles that support you.

We help patients restore and maintain their dental health, function, and confidence through care centered around four principles:

Safety. Predictability. Comfort. Integrity.

As a periodontal practice, many of our patients have experienced significant periodontal disease or undergone complex periodontal and implant treatment. Hygiene isn't an afterthought in our practice—it is an essential part of protecting the results our patients and clinical team have worked hard to achieve.

Where You Come In

Successful periodontal treatment doesn't end when surgery is complete.

Long-term success depends on excellent maintenance, patient education, early identification of disease recurrence, and a hygienist who takes ownership of their patients' periodontal health.

That's where you come in.

You'll work alongside Dr. Antoine and our clinical team to help patients maintain healthy teeth, implants, and periodontal tissues for years to come.

You'll have the time and support necessary to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care rather than simply moving patients through the schedule.

A Schedule Designed for Patient Care

We believe excellent dentistry requires enough time to actually provide it.

Our hygiene schedule is intentionally designed to be manageable, with approximately 6–8 patients per day and ample appointment time for appropriate patient care.

Your regular schedule will be:

Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Friday

That means a consistent four-day work week with Thursdays off.

We want you to have the time to review your patient's history, perform comprehensive periodontal care, educate them, complete accurate documentation, communicate findings with the doctor, and prepare appropriately for your next patient.

What You'll Do

As our Registered Dental Hygienist, you will:

Provide periodontal maintenance and preventive hygiene care
Perform scaling and root planing when indicated
Complete comprehensive periodontal charting and assessments
Evaluate periodontal tissues and identify changes in periodontal health
Assess and maintain dental implants and peri-implant tissues
Obtain appropriate dental radiographs
Educate patients about periodontal disease, oral hygiene, and long-term maintenance
Help patients understand the connection between their daily habits and long-term treatment success
Communicate clinical findings effectively with the doctor and clinical team
Maintain thorough and accurate patient documentation
Help patients feel comfortable, informed, and respected throughout their appointments
Maintain an organized and properly stocked operatory
Assist the clinical team when appropriate
Participate in morning huddles and arrive prepared for the day's patients

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to develop long-term relationships with patients and see the results of the care you provide.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a hygienist who takes pride in providing excellent care and wants to work with a team that does the same.

You may be a great fit if you:

Hold an active Nevada dental hygiene license
Have current BLS/CPR certification
Enjoy treating periodontal patients
Are comfortable with periodontal charting and nonsurgical periodontal therapy
Have strong clinical judgment and attention to detail
Communicate clearly and compassionately with patients
Enjoy educating patients rather than simply "cleaning teeth"
Work well as part of a collaborative clinical team
Are dependable, organized, and prepared
Are receptive to feedback and interested in continuing to learn
Take ownership of your patients and your schedule

Previous periodontal experience is certainly valuable, but the right attitude, clinical foundation, and willingness to learn are equally important to us.

Benefits That Support You

Taking great care of patients starts with taking care of the people who provide that care.

Our benefits include:

Four-day work week — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday
Manageable schedule of approximately 6–8 patients per day
Ample appointment time to provide excellent patient care
Paid time off (PTO)
Paid holidays
401(k)
Health insurance
$1,200 annual dental and vision stipend
A private-practice environment focused on quality rather than volume
The opportunity to work closely with a periodontist and expand your periodontal knowledge
A collaborative clinical and administrative team

What Success Looks Like

Success in this position isn't measured by how quickly you can turn over a chair.
It's having enough time to notice a change in a patient's periodontal condition.
It's helping someone finally understand why their home care matters.
It's recognizing inflammation around an implant before it becomes a larger problem.
It's communicating your findings to the doctor and developing a plan together.
It's seeing a patient you've cared for year after year maintain the teeth and implants they worked hard to save.
And it's being able to leave work knowing you provided excellent care—not rushed care.
