Dental Hygienist Careers

Practice hygiene the right way.

One patient per hour. No assisted hygiene. No double-booked columns. Provider-level respect, modern technology, and real earning upside.

1 Patient per Hour

No Assisted Hygiene

No Double Booking

$50-$55 Typical Range

Higher of Hourly or 30% Adjusted Production

More Than a Cleaning Schedule

You are a Perio Therapist and an essential healthcare provider.

Blueprint hygienists are expected to diagnose, educate, partner with doctors, and help patients understand the relationship between periodontal health and overall health.

The schedule gives you one patient per hour so you can provide comprehensive care without assisted or double-booked hygiene.

You will have modern tools, a dedicated operatory, doctor partnership, compensation upside, and a hygiene community that helps you keep growing.

Protected Pay With Real Upside

You receive the higher of your hourly pay or 30% of adjusted production.

  • $50-$55 per hour typical range, based on experience
  • Many Blueprint hygienists earn $60-$70 per hour through production upside
  • Higher of hourly pay or 30% of adjusted production, calculated monthly
  • Monthly production bonus opportunity
  • Office bonus opportunity

The hourly rate protects your floor. The provider compensation model rewards comprehensive care, patient education, periodontal diagnosis, and strong clinical performance.

Compensation examples reflect historical experience and are not guarantees. Actual earnings depend on schedule, adjusted production, patient demand, and individual performance.

Time to Care

One patient per hour. No assisted hygiene. No double-booked columns.

Blueprint does not use a dedicated hygiene assistant to run multiple columns. Hygienists own their clinical flow, periodontal charting, patient education, and care experience.

Teammates help each other when the day requires it, and Avora voice-enabled charting and note dictation reduce administrative friction, but the model is intentionally built around one patient at a time.

  • Dedicated hygiene operatories
  • Standardized equipment across operatories
  • Doctor collaboration on diagnosis and treatment
  • No routine evening or weekend schedule
Modern Hygiene Tools

See more. Explain more. Chart with less friction.

  • Digital 3D scanners
  • CBCT
  • Overjet AI for radiographic analysis and patient education
  • Avora hands-free perio charting, note dictation, and coaching
  • Intraoral cameras
  • Cavitrons
  • Portable X-ray units and digital sensors
  • DryShield, Isolite, or Relief suction systems

  • Consistent, modern operatories
Grow With Other Providers

Your development should not stop after onboarding.

  • Structured onboarding and paid training
  • 500+ Blueprint Academy videos
  • Private hygiene communication community
  • Virtual hygiene masterminds and role-specific collaboration
  • Free upgraded CE Zoom account
  • Laser certification reimbursement
  • Sponsored in-person continuing education
  • Annual sponsored CPR certification
  • Direct access to hygiene leadership and doctors

Hygienists work as part of the clinical team – not as a separate cleaning department. They review cases, align with doctors, and help strengthen the patient experience together.

Work. Life. Thrive.

  • No evenings
  • No weekends
  • Every other Friday off
  • Working Fridays are 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
  • Health insurance for eligible teammates
  • Paid time off and paid holidays for eligible teammates
  • 401(k) with matching
  • Paid training and professional-development support

A strong fit for Blueprint hygienists

  • Active Georgia Registered Dental Hygienist license
  • Strong patient communication and education skills
  • Interest in periodontal diagnosis, treatment, and comprehensive care
  • Positive, dependable, team-first attitude
  • Comfort using technology and objective performance feedback
  • Coachability and willingness to keep improving

A candidate focused only on a fixed hourly number may miss the long-term value of provider compensation, clinical support, and production upside. We explain the model clearly so every candidate can decide whether it fits.
