We are looking for a positive and self-motivated Dental Hygienist to complete our office team. At Scanlon Family Dental, we want patients to receive both excellent dental care and a comfortable, positive experience . . . We believe our hygienists play a major role in that mission.

We are a family-owned General Dentistry practice with a 50+ year history and a second-generation Owner/Dentist. Our dentists serve patients in the St. Charles area and St. Louis County areas. Our family approach extends to our hygienists; we don't set production metrics, require them to "up-sell" patients, or ask them to sacrifice honest patient care for revenue . . . if those are aspects of your current job that aren't aligned with you - then our practice may be a great option to explore.

We are currently looking to fill 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday, Fridays optional).

Our team is truly a collection of some of the best dental assistants, office personnel, and hygienists that the area has to offer, and we’d love to have some new team members to share in the fun!
