The empty-chair problem

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

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.

Local coverage

Dental staffing across New Westminster

Running a practice in New Westminster comes with one real advantage: location. The Royal City sits at the crossroads of the Lower Mainland, with the Expo Line running straight through the New Westminster, Columbia and Sapperton stations and the Pattullo and Queensborough bridges linking you to Surrey and Richmond. When a hygienist calls in sick at 6 a.m., that central position means a wide pool of nearby professionals — from Uptown and Downtown to Sapperton and Queensborough — can realistically reach your chair. TempStars lets you post the open shift in minutes and review those local pros, each with their own rate and a Recommendation Score built from genuine temping reviews.

Because New Westminster flows naturally into Burnaby and Coquitlam, your reach for coverage is broader than the city line suggests, and the SkyTrain makes car-free commutes practical for many temps. 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.

Every New Westminster practice owner knows the 6 a.m. "I can't make it in" text — and the panic of an empty chair with patients already booked.

Post your open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes, review local temps alongside their rates and Recommendation Scores, then approve the professional who fits. They arrive, treat your patients, and your production stays protected.

Questions, answered

New Westminster dental staffing FAQ

How fast can I fill an open shift in New Westminster?

You can post an open hygiene or assisting shift in just a few minutes, and local professionals across the central Lower Mainland can see it right away. We can't promise a specific fill time, since availability changes day to day, but New Westminster's position on the Expo Line means a fair rate posted early often reaches a wide pool of nearby temps.

Do professionals travel to New Westminster from nearby cities?

Often, yes. New Westminster sits between Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey and Richmond, and the SkyTrain and Fraser River bridges make it an easy destination, so many professionals on TempStars are comfortable picking up shifts here. 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 New Westminster 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.
