Dental Staffing in Surrey, BC
When a Surrey hygiene or assisting day suddenly opens up, you need a skilled local temp in the chair, not a frantic morning. TempStars helps Surrey dental offices fill open shifts fast, agency-free.
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 Surrey
Surrey practices know the Fraser Valley pull better than anyone. A temp who lives in Cloverdale might happily cover a day in Newton or Fleetwood, while a pro near South Surrey may weigh your shift against work in White Rock, Langley or Delta before committing. That commute math shapes who is realistically free on any given morning, which is why TempStars lets you post a shift and see local hygienists and assistants, their own rates and their Recommendation Scores, rather than waiting on an agency phone tree to call around.
From busy Guildford and City Centre clinics to family practices in Fraser Heights and Panorama, Surrey runs on full schedules and steady production. When a 6 a.m. cancellation threatens that, you can post the open day in minutes, approve a pro and a rate you are comfortable with, and keep patients cared for. TempStars never overstates how much coverage is on hand in any one neighbourhood, so what you see reflects who is genuinely available near you.

Dental staffing in Surrey, the modern way
Every Surrey practice owner knows the sinking feeling of a 6 a.m. text saying a hygienist or assistant can't make it in, with a full book of patients on the way. Our founder, Dr. James Younger, is a practising dentist who lived that exact panic, so he built TempStars as a better alternative to the slow, costly old agency model. You post your open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes, review local temps alongside their rates and proprietary Recommendation Scores, then approve the pro and rate that suit you. They arrive and treat your patients, your production stays on track, and you pay a flat $73 plus tax only after the shift is completed, with no subscriptions or markups. Post a shift and see who's available near you.

You post your open hygiene or assisting shift in minutes, then review local dental professionals along with their own rates and their Recommendation Scores, which are built from real temping reviews and track records. You approve the pro and rate that work for you, and they arrive to treat your patients. TempStars is a platform, not an agency, so there are no markups.
What does it cost to use TempStars in Surrey?
Offices pay a flat $73 plus tax (CAD), charged only after a shift is successfully completed. There are no subscriptions, no placement fees and no markups. TempStars is always free for the dental hygienists and dental assistants who use it.
Can I find temps who cover both Surrey and nearby communities like Langley or Delta?
Many Surrey-area professionals are open to shifts across the Fraser Valley, including Langley, Delta and White Rock, while others prefer to stay close to neighbourhoods like Newton, Guildford or South Surrey. When you post a shift you will see who is genuinely available near you, though we never guarantee that a temp will be free for any specific day.
