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.

Local coverage

Dental temp shifts across Burnaby

Living in Burnaby puts you at the centre of the Lower Mainland's dental market. From Metrotown and Brentwood to Edmonds, Highgate and the Heights, you can browse open hygiene and assisting shifts close to home — and because the Expo and Millennium Lines run right through the city, picking up a day in Vancouver, New Westminster or Coquitlam is genuinely realistic without a long drive. You decide how far you'll travel and which neighbourhoods you'll work, instead of taking whatever an agency hands you.

You also decide what you're worth. TempStars lets you submit offers at your own rate rather than accepting a recruiter's lowball number, and you can compare shifts across Burnaby and neighbouring cities to choose the ones that pay and fit best. Work a full week or just the odd Friday near Lougheed — it's your schedule. No agency calls and texts, no markups taken from your pay, and a Payment Guarantee on every confirmed shift so you know you'll be paid for the work you do.
