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 Toronto

If you're a dental hygienist or assistant in Toronto, you already know the commute can decide whether a shift is worth it. A day downtown, in North York, out in Scarborough or across to Etobicoke each carries a different drive on the 401, the DVP or a ride on the subway, and you deserve to weigh that yourself instead of having an agency push you somewhere across the city. With TempStars you browse local shifts on the free app, see the details up front, and submit an offer at your own rate, with no recruiter calls, no markups skimming your pay and no awkward negotiations.

Toronto and the wider GTA have a deep base of practices, with openings spread from Midtown clinics to family offices in the suburbs and nearby markets like Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan and Markham. That gives you room to build a schedule that fits your life, whether you want a few days a week close to home or a fuller calendar across the region. TempStars was built by a dentist for fellow dental professionals, so the platform is designed around you being valued, paid fairly and in control of your own time.
