RDH Up to $55 Hourly Western Wisconsin

Registered Dental Hygienist La Crosse Area Western Wisconsin

Looking for a dental hygiene opportunity where you can focus on patient care without being pulled in every direction?

This privately owned Western Wisconsin dental group is adding a Registered Dental Hygienist to its team just outside the La Crosse area. The practice offers competitive compensation, strong clinical support, flexibility for both experienced hygienists and new graduates, and a culture that places real emphasis on taking care of its team.

Rather than building the role around volume alone, the organization has intentionally invested in clinical support, mentorship, equipment, continuing education, and employee wellness so hygienists have the resources they need to build a sustainable career.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Full-time or part-time opportunities considered
  • Established privately owned dental organization with 30+ years in Western Wisconsin
  • Dental assistants provide support with X-rays and room turnover
  • Dedicated support helps limit nonclinical responsibilities for hygienists
  • Instruments are professionally sharpened weekly
  • Employee-focused equipment philosophy-if you need the right instrument or resource, leadership wants to know
  • Dedicated RDH mentor available to support onboarding and professional development
  • New graduates are genuinely encouraged to apply
  • Collaborative team environment focused on patient experience, communication, and long-term retention

Compensation & Benefits

  • $50-$55/hour, primarily based on experience
  • Approximately $104,000-$114,400 annualized at 40 hours/week; actual earnings depend on final schedule and hours worked
  • Potential flexibility for an especially strong or experienced candidate
  • Approximately $5,000 sign-on and $5,000 relocation assistance if applicable.
  • Sign-on assistance, when offered, is typically paid in full after 90 days
  • PTO and paid holidays
  • Continuing education support
  • $300 monthly benefit in student loan assistance!
  • Licensure, professional dues, and subscription support
  • Medical and vision plan options
  • Life/AD&D and disability benefits
  • Profit-sharing retirement plan eligibility after one year
  • Uniform and ergonomic allowances
  • Up to approximately $700 annually in self-care/wellness dollars
  • Access to the organization's Neighborhood Family Clinic benefit after eligibility requirements are met

Who We're Looking For

  • Graduate of an accredited dental hygiene program
  • Active Wisconsin RDH license or ability to obtain
  • Local anesthesia certification or ability to obtain
  • Nitrous oxide certification or ability to obtain
  • Electronic dental record experience preferred
  • New graduates welcome
  • Strong communication and patient-education skills
  • Compassionate and comfortable working with patients who may have dental anxiety
  • Dependable, team-oriented, and committed to providing quality patient care

Support That Makes a Difference

This organization has intentionally built support around its hygienists.

Dental assistants assist with X-rays and room turnover, dedicated staff support sterilization, and Patient Care Coordinators handle much of the check-in, checkout, treatment-plan, and insurance coordination. The goal is straightforward: allow hygienists to spend more of their time practicing hygiene and taking care of patients. Post Profile - 9.3.26

The practice also professionally sharpens instruments each week and has a supportive approach to equipment, if a hygienist needs a different instrument or clinical resource, leadership is always happy to accommodate.

For new graduates or hygienists transitioning into a different practice environment, a traveling RDH mentor works across the organization's locations and can provide side-by-side support during onboarding.
