A community that has your back
TempStars was built by a practising dentist for fellow dental professionals — we understand the stress of an unpredictable job market and the frustration of being hassled and undervalued by agencies.
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 temp shifts across BC
Living and working in BC isn't cheap, and as a dental hygienist or dental assistant you deserve to set a rate that reflects that. TempStars lets you browse open shifts across Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and communities across the province, then submit an offer at your own rate — no recruiter calls, no lowball negotiations, no awkward back-and-forth. You decide how far you'll travel, whether that's a clinic a few blocks away or one worth the SkyTrain ride into Burnaby or Richmond.
The Lower Mainland's geography means commute time can make or break a shift, so you stay in full control of which offices you say yes to. Pick up a single day near home on the North Shore, string together a full week across the city core, or work as much or as little as you want around your life. Shifts depend on what offices have posted, so nothing is ever guaranteed to be available — but building your profile early helps BC offices find you when they need to fill a chair.
