Dental Hygienist

ABOUT THE PRACTICE

For 50 years, Christensen Prosthodontics has been a trusted name in Utah Valley dentistry. Founded in 1976 by renowned prosthodontist and educator Dr. Gordon Christensen, our specialist-led team delivers the highest-quality results with the latest technology and patients tell us so, with a 4.9-star Google rating. We’re looking for a committed team player who is ready to go above and beyond for our patients.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

• Work alongside Dr. Will Christensen and Dr. Kellen McWhorter, specialists who bring you into the treatment-planning conversation
• You’re a real part of the clinical team: take radiographs, pre-diagnose, and collaborate with the doctor on treatment plans
• Modern, fully digital office: digital X-rays in every operatory (Dexis), plumbed and in-use nitrous, and Dentrix
• A fee-for-service practice focused on quality care, not insurance-driven rush
• Time with every patient: minimal patient cross-over time means each appointment is truly “your” time with them
• A paid working interview so you can meet the team and see if it’s the right fit
• Part-time with a built-in work-life balance: Mondays and Wednesdays only

WHERE YOU’LL PRACTICE

Orem sits at the heart of Utah Valley, with Mount Timpanogos, Utah Lake, and Provo Canyon right in your backyard. It’s a community-minded area with an easy commute, great outdoor access, and plenty of reasons to love your days off.

POSITION SUMMARY

You’ll join an established team of two doctors, two part-time hygienists, dental assistants, front desk, and sterilization support — a group that genuinely has your back.
