Dental Staffing in Edmonton, AB
When a hygiene or assisting day opens up in Edmonton, fill the chair with a skilled local temp – fast, vetted, and without agency fees. TempStars helps you protect production and keep patients cared for, whether you practise downtown or out in the Capital Region.
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 Edmonton
An Edmonton office feels a no-show in ways the rest of the country doesn't. On a January morning when the temperature drops well below freezing, one text – 'I can't make it in' – can quietly stall a full day of hygiene production. Whether you run a busy practice off Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona, a clinic in Oliver or downtown, or a growing office in Windermere or the south end, TempStars lets you post an open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes and review real local dental hygienists and dental assistants – their rates, their reviews, and their proprietary Recommendation Score – before you approve anyone.
Hiring here rarely stops at the city limits. Many Edmonton patients and team members commute in from St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Beaumont, and the temps who can cover your day often do too. Posting a shift on TempStars puts your opening in front of qualified professionals across the Capital Region, so a snowed-in morning in Sherwood Park or a last-minute gap in Spruce Grove doesn't have to mean an empty operatory. You set the rate, you choose the pro, and the flat fee only applies after a shift is successfully completed – no contracts, no markups, no recruiter on the phone.

Edmonton dental staffing FAQ
How does TempStars work for Edmonton dental offices?
You post your open hygiene or assisting shift in a few minutes, then review interested local dental hygienists and dental assistants – including their rates, reviews and proprietary Recommendation Score. You approve the professional and rate that suit you, and they arrive to treat your patients. TempStars is not an agency: there are no contracts, no subscriptions and no markups.
What does it cost to fill a shift in Edmonton?
TempStars charges a flat $73 + tax (CAD), and only after a shift is successfully completed. There are no placement fees, no recruiter cut and no agency markup on the professional's rate – a key reason Edmonton offices use it to keep more production in the practice.
Can TempStars help offices outside Edmonton in the Capital Region?
Yes. Many professionals on TempStars already commute between Edmonton and surrounding communities like St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Beaumont, so practices across the Capital Region can post shifts and review local temps. Availability varies by day and area, so posting early gives you the best chance of a strong response.
Are temps on TempStars properly vetted?
Every dental hygienist and dental assistant builds a Recommendation Score from real temping reviews and track records, so you can weigh genuine on-the-job feedback before approving anyone. Every shift also includes a Payment Guarantee, short-notice cancellation protection and PPE/infection-control standards.
