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 British Columbia 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 Coquitlam
Running a practice in Coquitlam means competing for talent across a tightly connected corridor — from Coquitlam Centre and Burke Mountain down through Port Coquitlam and out to Port Moody. When a hygienist calls in sick at 6 a.m., the old scramble of agency calls and unanswered texts can cost you a full day of production. TempStars lets you post the open shift in minutes and review real local professionals nearby, each with their own rate and a Recommendation Score built from genuine temping reviews, so you can fill the day with someone who can realistically reach your chair.
Because Coquitlam offices think in terms of the wider Tri-Cities — and often Burnaby and New Westminster too — your reach for coverage is broader than a single city line on a map. The Evergreen Extension of the SkyTrain and the Lougheed and Barnet corridors keep dental professionals moving between these communities every day. You choose the professional and the rate, you pay a flat $73 + tax only after a shift is successfully completed, and there are no subscriptions, placement fees or contracts to manage.

Coquitlam dental staffing FAQ
How fast can I fill an open shift in Coquitlam?
You can post an open hygiene or assisting shift in just a few minutes, and local professionals across the Tri-Cities can see it right away. We can't promise a specific fill time, since availability changes day to day, but posting early and offering a fair rate you set yourself tends to attract more interest from nearby temps.
Do you cover Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and the rest of the Tri-Cities?
Yes. Coquitlam sits at the heart of the Tri-Cities, and many professionals on TempStars are comfortable working across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody — and often nearby Burnaby and New Westminster. When you post a shift, you'll see local pros and can choose who's the best fit for your practice.
What does it cost to use TempStars as a Coquitlam office?
The temping fee is 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 — we're not an agency, we're better.
How do I know a temp will actually show up and be reliable?
Every professional has a Recommendation Score built from real temping reviews and track records, so you can review who you're approving before they arrive. TempStars also backs every shift with guarantees, including a Payment Guarantee, no contracts, and PPE and infection-control standards.
