This Summer, Invest in a Career That Invests in You

Summer is a reminder that life is meant to be enjoyed—not rushed. Imagine ending your workday knowing you delivered exceptional care, connected with your patients, and still had time to enjoy everything the Hudson Valley has to offer.

The Smilist is seeking an exceptional Registered Dental Hygienist to join our well-established practice in Kingston. This is not a high-volume "turn-and-burn" environment; we believe outstanding dentistry begins with taking the time to do things right.

Why Hygienists Love Working Here

A White-Glove Patient Experience: Our patients expect exceptional care, and we give our hygienists the time, technology, and clinical autonomy to deliver it.
Clinical Expertise & Autonomy: You are trusted as the clinical expert with no micromanagement or unnecessary production pressure.
Work-Life Balance: Kingston offers a community vibe and a slower pace. Whether you enjoy the colonial charm of the Stockade District or the historic waterfront in the Rondout, your career should support your lifestyle—not compete with it.
Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values professionalism, kindness, and collaboration. You will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced providers like Dr. Gene DeStefano, who has been serving the Kingston community since 1992.
