Why join us Western Loudoun Dental is a brand-new, doctor-owned general practice opening in Lovettsville. This is a rare chance to help build a hygiene program from the ground up — your protocols, your operatory, your standards — in a modern, fully-digital office where hygiene is central to patient care, not rushed.

What you'll do
Provide thorough prophylaxis, scaling, root planing, and selective polishing
Chart periodontal health and update medical/dental histories
Administer local anesthetics and place subgingival medicaments, as permitted under the Virginia Dental Practice Act
Take radiographs as prescribed; apply fluorides and sealants
Educate and counsel patients on oral hygiene, comfort, and nutrition
Record all treatment accurately in Open Dental
Manage treatment-room setup, cleanliness, and instrument sterilization
Maintain hygiene supply inventory and order as needed
Handle patient records securely and in full HIPAA compliance
