Dental Hygienist Performance Evaluation Form

Streamline Dental Hygienist Performance Reviews with Paperform

Managing a dental practice means ensuring your hygienists deliver exceptional patient care while maintaining efficiency and clinical excellence. This Dental Hygienist Performance Evaluation Form template gives you a structured, professional way to conduct meaningful performance reviews that improve patient outcomes and team development.

Why dental practices trust Paperform for performance evaluations

Traditional paper-based evaluations get lost, handwritten feedback is hard to track over time, and juggling multiple review cycles creates administrative headaches. With Paperform, your dental practice gets a clean, professional evaluation form that captures detailed performance data across all the competencies that matter—from patient care quality and appointment efficiency to x-ray competency and patient education effectiveness.

This template evaluates hygienists on the clinical skills, interpersonal abilities, and operational efficiency that define success in your practice. You can customize rating scales, add practice-specific criteria, and use conditional logic to surface follow-up questions when development areas are identified.

Built for dental practice managers and clinical directors

Whether you're a dental office manager conducting quarterly reviews, a clinical director evaluating a team of hygienists, or a practice owner ensuring consistent standards across multiple locations, this template gives you everything you need. Evaluations are saved automatically, can be exported for personnel files, and integrate seamlessly with your HR systems via Stepper workflows or direct integrations.

Use this form to conduct annual performance reviews, probationary evaluations, or regular check-ins that help your hygienists grow professionally. Consistent, documented feedback protects your practice, supports promotions and raises, and creates a culture of continuous improvement.

Automate review workflows with Stepper

After each evaluation, use Stepper to automatically notify the hygienist, schedule follow-up meetings, create development plans, or route manager approvals—turning every review into actionable next steps without manual coordination.
