Dental Staffing in Calgary, AB
When a hygiene or assisting day opens up in Calgary, fill it with a skilled local temp – fast, reliable, and with no agency fees. Post your shift and review verified Calgary professionals in minutes.
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.
- A 6 a.m. call-in puts the whole schedule at risk
- Lost production when chairs sit empty
- Patients rescheduled and inconvenienced
- Hefty agency placement fees and markups

Trusted by dental offices across Alberta 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 Calgary
Calgary's dental market stretches across all four quadrants and out to the commuter belt, and a no-show can hit any of them. A practice in the Beltline or downtown core, a family clinic in Seton or Mahogany, an established office in the NW near Royal Oak, or a busy team in Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks or Chestermere all face the same problem when a 6 a.m. text lands: a full book and an empty chair. TempStars helps you reach dental hygienists and dental assistants across the wider Calgary area without the old agency runaround.
Calgary's spread-out geography and Deerfoot and Stoney Trail commutes mean a temp's location and willingness to travel genuinely matter, so you see each professional's rate and Recommendation Score before you approve anyone. Post the shift in minutes, review local temps and what they charge, confirm the pro and rate that fit your day, and they arrive ready to treat patients. You pay a flat $73 + tax only after a shift is successfully completed – no subscriptions, no placement fees, no markups – so your production stays protected and your patients stay cared for.

Dental staffing in Calgary, the modern way
Every Calgary practice owner knows the gut-drop of a 6 a.m. cancellation with a full schedule of patients already booked. Our founder, Dr. James Younger, is a practising dentist who lived that exact panic – which is why TempStars was built to be the guide, not another slow, pricey agency. You post the open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes, review local Calgary temps with their own rates and proprietary Recommendation Scores, then approve the pro and rate that suit your day. They show up and care for your patients, and you pay a flat $73 + tax only after the shift is successfully completed. No contracts, no markups, no agency middleman. When the next gap appears in your book, post a shift and keep your Calgary chairs full.
Calgary dental staffing FAQ
Does TempStars cover practices outside Calgary's city limits?
Yes. TempStars serves the wider Calgary area, including commuter communities like Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks and Chestermere. You can post a shift for your location, and dental hygienists and dental assistants in the region can view and offer on it. Exact availability depends on who is active near you at the time.
What does it cost a Calgary office to fill a shift?
A flat $73 + 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. It is always free for the dental hygienists and dental assistants you book.
How do I know a Calgary temp is reliable before I approve them?
Each dental hygienist and dental assistant has a Recommendation Score built from real temping reviews and track records, plus a rate they set themselves. You review that information and choose who fits your day before confirming – the decision stays in your hands.
What guarantees come with each shift?
Every shift includes a Payment Guarantee, No Contracts, a Short-Notice Cancellation policy, Choose Your Own Rate, and PPE/Infection Control standards. TempStars is the #1 dental temping and hiring platform in North America – not an agency, and built by a practising dentist.
