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 Red Deer
When a hygienist calls in sick at 6 a.m., a Red Deer practice can't afford to lose the day. Whether your office sits along the Gaetz Avenue corridor downtown, out in Bower or Clearview, or in one of the clinics in Lacombe, Innisfail or Sylvan Lake, you're often the only practice on your block trying to cover a sudden gap. Central Alberta's smaller talent pool makes the old scramble of phone trees and recruiter callbacks slow and frustrating. TempStars connects you directly to dental hygienists and dental assistants across the region so you can post a shift in minutes and review real local candidates.
Red Deer's position as central Alberta's hub means many professionals are comfortable travelling between Red Deer, Lacombe, Innisfail and Sylvan Lake for the right day, which widens the pool you can reach for a single shift. You set the parameters, see each temp's rate and Recommendation Score built from real reviews, then approve the person you want. The flat office fee is charged only after a shift is successfully completed, so there are no subscriptions, placement fees or markups standing between you and a protected production day.

Dental staffing in Red Deer, the modern way
Every Red Deer practice owner knows the gut-punch of an early-morning text saying someone can't make it in, with a full book of patients already waiting. Our founder, Dr. James Younger, is a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, which is why TempStars was built to be the guide that gets you out of it. Instead of chasing agencies that are slow, expensive and unreliable, you post your open hygiene or assisting day in minutes, review local temps alongside their rates and proprietary Recommendation Scores, and approve the professional and rate that fit. They arrive, treat your patients, and your production stays on track. When the next gap hits in central Alberta, post a shift and fill the chair.
