Dental Staffing in Oakville, ON
Fill an open hygiene or assisting day in Oakville with a skilled local temp who actually shows up — and skip the agency fees while you're at it. Post a shift, review nearby pros and their Recommendation Scores, and get back to your patients.
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 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 Oakville
Oakville practices run on tight, production-heavy schedules, and a single empty chair in Glen Abbey or along Lakeshore in Bronte can throw off a whole day of hygiene recalls and restorative appointments. When a hygienist or assistant calls in at 6 a.m., you don't have hours to chase down coverage — you need a reliable local temp who knows the drill and can be chairside before your first patient arrives. TempStars connects your office with dental hygienists and dental assistants across Oakville and the surrounding Halton area, so you can keep the schedule full without paying agency markups or signing a contract.
Because Oakville sits at the centre of the western GTA, your coverage pool stretches naturally toward Burlington to the west and Mississauga to the east, with the QEW and Dundas corridors making cross-town shifts practical for many pros. Whether your office is near Joshua Creek in the southeast, up in West Oak Trails, or closer to the lake in old Oakville, you post the shift, set the role, and review interested temps along with their rates and Recommendation Scores built from real reviews. You approve the pro and the rate you're comfortable with — no negotiating through a recruiter, no surprise fees.

Dental staffing in Oakville, the modern way
Every Oakville office knows the 6 a.m. "I can't make it in" text — the one that puts production, recall and a waiting room of patients at risk. TempStars was built by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, so the platform gets you covered fast without the old agency model. Post your open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes, review interested local temps alongside their rates and Recommendation Scores, then approve the pro and rate that fit your practice. They arrive, treat your patients, and you pay a flat $73 + tax only after the shift is successfully completed — no subscriptions, no placement fees, no markups. When the next gap opens in your Oakville schedule, post a shift and see who's available.
Oakville dental staffing FAQ
How does TempStars help Oakville dental offices find temps?
You post your open hygiene or assisting shift, and dental hygienists and dental assistants in the Oakville and Halton area can see it and express interest. You review their rates and Recommendation Scores, then approve the pro and rate that work for you. We can't guarantee a temp is available for any specific day, but posting early gives local pros the most time to respond.
What does it cost to use TempStars for our practice?
There's a flat fee of $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 — unlike the traditional agency model.
Will the temp be local to Oakville?
TempStars serves Oakville along with nearby areas like Bronte, Glen Abbey, Joshua Creek and the broader Halton region, and the western-GTA location means many Burlington and Mississauga pros are within reach via the QEW and Dundas corridors. You'll see who's interested before you approve anyone, so you stay in control of who comes to your office.
Is TempStars an agency?
No — we're not an agency, we're better. TempStars is the #1 dental temping and hiring platform in North America, founded in 2015 by a practising dentist. You connect directly with dental professionals, set the terms with no contracts, and skip the recruiter middleman and agency fees entirely.
