The empty-chair problem

One call-in shouldn’t cost you the day

You shouldn’t have to gamble your production and your patients on one person’s availability — or get gouged by an agency to fix it.

  • A 6 a.m. call-in puts the whole schedule at risk
  • Lost production when chairs sit empty
  • Patients rescheduled and inconvenienced
  • Hefty agency placement fees and markups

TempStars started because our founder, a practising dentist, lived the 6 a.m. “I can’t make it in” panic himself — so we know exactly how stressful an empty chair feels, and how much an agency fee stings on top of it.

Built by a dentist, for the profession. TempStars was founded in 2015 by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist (University of Toronto, 1999). It is the #1 dental temping and hiring platform in North America — not an agency, and proud of it.

Local coverage

Dental staffing across Burlington

Burlington practices live with a particular kind of pressure: you're competing for great hygienists and assistants with offices in Oakville to the east and Hamilton to the west, and a no-show on a busy Appleby or Alton Village morning can throw off a fully booked column before the first patient sits down. When the 6 a.m. "I can't make it in" text lands, you don't have hours to chase an agency — you need a reliable local pro who knows the drill and can get to your operatory, whether you're off Brant Street downtown, near Mapleview, or out toward Headon Forest.

TempStars was built by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist who has lived that exact panic, so the platform is designed around how busy Halton-area practices actually run. You post the shift, review nearby hygienists and assistants along with their rates and proprietary Recommendation Scores, then approve the person and rate that fit your day. Because so many professionals work across the Halton-Hamilton corridor — Aldershot, Roseland, The Orchard and beyond — Burlington offices can tap a deep, motivated pool of local talent without the old agency middleman.

Questions, answered

Burlington dental staffing FAQ

How fast can I find a temp for my Burlington office?

You can post an open hygiene or assisting shift in just a few minutes and start reviewing professionals near you right away. Availability varies by day and demand, so posting early gives you the best chance of matching with someone in or around Burlington, but no platform can guarantee a specific fill time.

Do you cover the surrounding Halton and Hamilton areas too?

Many TempStars professionals work across the broader corridor — Oakville, Hamilton and the wider Halton Region — so a Burlington shift can draw interest from pros in nearby communities like Aldershot and Appleby. You review who's available and choose the person and rate that work for your practice.

What does it cost a Burlington office to use TempStars?

Offices pay a flat $73 plus tax, charged only after a shift is successfully completed. There are no subscriptions, no placement fees and no markups on the professional's rate. It's always free for the dental hygienists and dental assistants.

Is TempStars an agency?

No — TempStars is not an agency, it's a platform that connects your office directly with local dental hygienists and dental assistants. You set the shift, review temps with their rates and Recommendation Scores, and approve the right fit, with guarantees on every shift including a Payment Guarantee and no contracts.
