Dental Staffing in Richmond, BC
Fill an open hygiene or assisting day in Richmond with a skilled, reliable local temp, so your chairs stay full and your patients stay cared for. No agency fees, no markups, no chasing.
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 Richmond
Richmond practices run on a busy, multicultural patient base, from the high-rise clinics around Richmond City Centre and Brighouse to family offices in Steveston, Broadmoor and Terra Nova. When a hygienist or assistant calls in sick at 6 a.m., a single empty chair can throw off a fully booked recall day, and the old agency model is too slow and too expensive to rescue it. TempStars was built by a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, so you can post a shift in minutes and review local temps, their rates and Recommendation Scores instead of waiting on a callback.
Geography works in your favour here. With the Canada Line, Highway 99 and the airport corridor all close by, your posting can reach dental professionals across Richmond, Sea Island, Ironwood, Hamilton, nearby Delta and Vancouver. You approve the pro and the rate, they arrive and treat your patients, and you pay a flat $73 + tax only after the shift is successfully completed. No subscriptions, no placement fees, no contracts, just your schedule protected and your production on track.

Dental staffing in Richmond, the modern way
Every Richmond dental office knows the gut-drop of an early-morning text saying someone can't make it in. Left unfilled, an empty hygiene or assisting chair means rebooked patients, lost production and a frazzled front desk, and traditional agencies answer slowly while charging steep markups. TempStars, the #1 dental temping and hiring platform in North America, was founded in 2015 by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist who lived that 6 a.m. scramble firsthand. Post your open shift in minutes, review local hygienists and assistants with their rates and proprietary Recommendation Scores, then approve the right person at a rate you both agree on. With a flat $73 + tax charged only after a completed shift, you protect production without agency fees. Post a shift and keep your Richmond schedule full.
Richmond dental staffing FAQ
How fast can I fill an open hygiene or assisting shift in Richmond?
You can post an open shift in minutes and start reviewing local dental hygienists and assistants right away, along with their rates and Recommendation Scores. We can't guarantee a particular temp will be available for a given day, but Richmond's density and its connections to Vancouver, Delta and the airport corridor mean your posting reaches a wide pool of professionals.
What does TempStars cost a Richmond dental office?
There is a flat fee of $73 + tax (CAD) per shift, charged only after a shift is successfully completed. There are no subscriptions, no placement fees and no markups on the professional's rate. You and the temp agree on the rate up front.
Do the temps know Richmond-area practices and patients?
TempStars reaches dental hygienists and dental assistants across Richmond and nearby communities, including the City Centre, Steveston, Ironwood and the Sea Island and airport area, as well as neighbouring Vancouver and Delta. Each professional carries a proprietary Recommendation Score built from real temping reviews and track records, so you can review experience before you approve anyone.
How is TempStars different from a dental staffing agency?
We're not an agency, we're better. There are no contracts, no placement fees and no markups, and you choose the professional and the rate yourself rather than accepting whoever an agency assigns. Every shift comes with guarantees including a Payment Guarantee and PPE and infection-control standards.
