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.

- Lost production when chairs sit empty
- Patients rescheduled and inconvenienced
- Hefty agency placement fees and markups

Trusted by dental offices across Ontario 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 Markham
Markham practices feel the squeeze differently than central Toronto ones. A hygienist calling in sick in Unionville or along the Markville corridor can throw a fully booked day off track, and pulling someone across the 404 or 407 from Richmond Hill or Scarborough in rush hour rarely works on short notice. TempStars helps you reach dental professionals who already live and work around York Region — from Cornell and Berczy Village to Thornhill and Milliken Mills — so the person you approve is likely commuting a few minutes, not fighting their way up from downtown.
Markham's patient base is one of the most diverse in the GTA, and offices here often value temps who can keep a busy, multilingual schedule running smoothly. When you post a shift, you can review each candidate's rate and Recommendation Score — built from real temping reviews and track records — before you approve anyone. You set the bar, you choose who walks into your operatory, and you only pay the flat $73 + tax after a shift is successfully completed. No subscriptions, no placement fees, no markups.

Dental staffing in Markham, the modern way
Every Markham office owner knows the 6 a.m. text: "I can't make it in." Suddenly a full hygiene column or assisting day is at risk, production is exposed, and patients are waiting. TempStars was founded in 2015 by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, so the platform is built around getting you out of it fast. Post your open shift in minutes, review local hygienists and assistants alongside their rates and Recommendation Scores, then approve the professional whose rate fits your day. They arrive, treat your patients, and you pay a flat $73 + tax only after the shift is completed — never an agency markup. When the next short-notice gap hits, post a shift and keep your Markham schedule covered.
Markham dental staffing FAQ
How fast can I find a temp for my Markham office?
You can post an open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes and start reviewing local professionals right away. Availability depends on who is free in the York Region area at the time, so we never guarantee a particular shift will be filled — but posting early and offering a competitive rate gives you the best chance of approving a nearby temp.
Will the temp actually be local to Markham?
TempStars connects you with dental professionals across the GTA, and many are based in or near Markham, Unionville, Thornhill, Richmond Hill and Scarborough. Each profile shows their details, rate and Recommendation Score, so you can prioritize someone with a short, reliable commute before you approve the shift.
What does it cost a Markham office to use TempStars?
There are no subscriptions, placement fees or markups. You pay a flat $73 + tax (CAD) per shift, and only after a temp has successfully completed it. If a shift doesn't happen, you don't pay the fee.
How is this different from a traditional staffing agency?
TempStars isn't an agency — we're better. Instead of slow phone calls and inflated agency rates, you post directly, see candidates' rates and Recommendation Scores up front, and choose who you approve. Every shift is backed by our guarantees: Payment Guarantee, No Contracts, Short-Notice Cancellation, Choose Your Own Rate, and PPE/Infection Control.
