We offer a competitive hourly rate plus a monthly performance bonus tied to your production and clinical excellence. Our top-earning Hygienists make up to $85/hour in VA, combining base pay and bonus potential — with clear goals, transparency, and the support to help you thrive.

As a Dental Hygienist at Tend, you'll deliver top-tier preventive care in a modern, thoughtfully designed studio — with the support of a dedicated dental assistant through our Team (Assisted) Hygiene model. You'll treat a well-booked schedule of patients with the tools, systems, and support you need to deliver clinical excellence and outstanding patient experiences. At Tend, we're committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive environment where both our patients and our teams feel respected, represented, and truly cared for. Our model is built for driven hygienists: those who value autonomy, crave efficiency, and take pride in high-performance care.

What You'll Do

  • Deliver comprehensive preventive and periodontal care — including prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, scaling and root planing (SRP), gingivitis scaling, oral cancer screenings, Itero scan, sealants, Zoom whitening, Perio Protect, Curodont, fluoride treatments, and patient education — all in alignment with evidence-based clinical guidelines

  • Engage in ongoing professional development through CE opportunities, internal hygiene forums, and peer collaboration
