Dental Hygienist

About the Role

You’re not looking for another hygiene job. You’re looking for the right practice.

Imagine practicing in an office where comprehensive care isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected.

Where patients receive the time they deserve.

Where technology makes your day easier.

Where your doctors value your clinical judgment.

Where your team genuinely enjoys working together.

If that’s what you’re looking for, we’d love to meet you.

Great Lakes Dental is one of Northeast Ohio’s premier comprehensive dental practices, serving the Mentor community with a commitment to exceptional patient care, advanced technology, and continuous learning.

Our team includes multiple doctors, hygienists, EFDAs, dental assistants, and business professionals working together to deliver dentistry at the highest level.

This isn’t a production-driven office.

It’s a quality-driven office.

We believe patients deserve thorough examinations, thoughtful conversations, and treatment recommendations based on what is best for their long-term health.

We’re investing in our hygiene department - not to squeeze more patients into the day - but to make each appointment better.

Our philosophy is simple:

The patient still deserves one hour.

Our goal is to make that one hour more organized, less stressful, and more fulfilling for both the patient and the hygienist.

We’re developing new systems that reduce workflow interruptions, improve efficiency, and allow hygienists to spend more time where they create the greatest value:

• Building patient relationships
• Educating patients
• Diagnosing periodontal disease
• Identifying restorative opportunities
• Delivering comprehensive care

• Deliver exceptional preventive and periodontal care
• Perform comprehensive periodontal assessments
• Educate patients with confidence and compassion
• Utilize advanced imaging and diagnostic technology
• Partner closely with doctors on comprehensive treatment planning
• Help patients understand treatment recommendations
• Build long-term patient relationships
• Continuously grow your clinical skills

At Great Lakes Dental, we believe exceptional care starts with exceptional diagnosis. We’ve intentionally built systems that allow our hygienists to practice comprehensively rather than simply "clean teeth."

Our new patient appointments are designed to build relationships, establish trust, and develop a complete understanding of each patient’s oral health.

This dedicated time allows our hygienists to thoroughly evaluate the patient, educate them about their findings, and collaborate with our doctors to develop comprehensive treatment recommendations.

We believe rushing a first visit is a missed opportunity—for both the patient and the clinician.

We invest in technology because it allows our team to deliver a better experience—not simply because it’s new.

• Voice-activated periodontal charting
• Low-dose cone beam…
