One call-in shouldn’t cost you the day

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 Barrie
Running a practice in Barrie means staffing for a patient base that stretches well beyond the city limits. From the established offices downtown and along the Kempenfelt Bay waterfront to the growing clinics in Allandale, Painswick and Holly, your schedule fills with families who often commute to the GTA and book appointments around tight windows. When a hygienist or assistant calls in sick on a Monday morning, a single empty chair can throw off a whole day of production and leave patients waiting weeks for a new slot. TempStars lets you post that shift in minutes and review local dental professionals, their own rates and their Recommendation Scores before you approve anyone.
Because Barrie anchors Simcoe County rather than sitting inside the GTA, the old agency model often left central-Ontario offices paying premium fees for someone driving up the 400 who barely knew the area. TempStars connects you with hygienists and assistants who already live and work across Barrie, Innisfil, Orillia and Bradford, so the person who walks into your operatory understands the local patient flow. You pay a flat $73 plus tax only after a shift is successfully completed. No subscriptions, no placement fees and no markups on what the professional earns.

Dental staffing in Barrie, the modern way
Every Barrie office owner knows the 6 a.m. dread of an "I can't make it in" text, and a chair sitting empty while patients wait. TempStars was founded by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, so the platform is built around getting you covered fast instead of selling you a contract. Post your open hygiene or assisting shift, review local temps along with their rates and Recommendation Scores drawn from real reviews, then approve the pro and rate that fit. They arrive ready to treat patients while your production stays on track. With a flat $73-plus-tax fee charged only after a completed shift and no agency markups, keeping your Barrie schedule full is finally simple. Post a shift and see who is available near you.
Barrie dental staffing FAQ
How quickly can I fill an open shift at my Barrie practice?
You can post an open hygiene or assisting shift in just a few minutes, and local dental professionals in and around Barrie can view and respond to it. Availability depends on who is free on the day you need, so we can't promise a specific fill time, but posting early and offering a competitive rate helps.
Will the temp actually be local to the Barrie area?
TempStars connects you with dental hygienists and dental assistants across Barrie and nearby Simcoe County communities such as Innisfil, Orillia and Bradford. Many already work in the area, so they tend to understand the local patient base and commute rather than driving up the 400 from the GTA.
What does it cost a Barrie office to use TempStars?
A flat $73 plus tax (CAD), charged only after a shift is successfully completed. There are no subscriptions, no placement fees and no markups on the professional's rate. TempStars is not an agency, so you skip the traditional agency fee structure entirely.
What protections come with each booking?
Every shift includes a Payment Guarantee, No Contracts, Short-Notice Cancellation terms, Choose Your Own Rate and PPE/Infection Control standards. You review each professional's Recommendation Score, built from real temping reviews and track records, before you approve them.
