Dental Staffing in Burnaby, BC
When a hygienist or assistant calls in sick, a Burnaby chair shouldn't sit empty. Post your shift on TempStars and connect with skilled local temps ready to keep your day on track — no agency fees, ever.
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

Trusted by dental offices across British Columbia and beyond
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.

Dental staffing across Burnaby
Running a practice in Burnaby means competing for talent with Vancouver, New Westminster and Coquitlam, all a short SkyTrain ride away. Whether your office sits in a Metrotown tower, a Brentwood plaza near the Millennium Line, or a quieter residential block in Edmonds, Royal Oak or the Heights, a sudden hygiene or assisting gap can stall a fully booked day of patients. TempStars helps you reach dental hygienists and dental assistants who already live and work nearby, so the person filling your chair knows the area and can actually get there on time.
Burnaby's transit-connected geography is an advantage when you need coverage fast. The Expo Line links Metrotown, Royal Oak, Edmonds and Highgate, while the Millennium Line serves Brentwood, and Lougheed sits on both — so a temp can reach much of the city without a car. Instead of leaving a voicemail with an agency and waiting, you post the open day, review local professionals with their rates and Recommendation Scores, and approve the person who fits. No contracts, no markups, no placement fees — just a flat $73 plus tax, charged only after the shift is successfully completed.

Dental staffing in Burnaby, the modern way
If you manage a Burnaby dental office, you know the 6 a.m. text that nobody can make it in. Our founder, Dr. James Younger, is a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, which is why TempStars works differently from the old agency model — slow, costly and unreliable. You post your open hygiene or assisting day in minutes, then review local temps alongside their rates and proprietary Recommendation Scores built from real temping track records. You approve the pro and the rate that suit you, they arrive and care for your patients, and you pay a flat $73 plus tax only after the shift is completed. Production protected, patients looked after, no agency fees. Post a shift and see who's available near you.
