A community that has your back
TempStars was built by a practising dentist for fellow dental professionals — we understand the stress of an unpredictable job market and the frustration of being hassled and undervalued by agencies.
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 temp shifts across Ottawa
Working as a dental hygienist or dental assistant in Ottawa means deciding how far you want to roam across a spread-out city.

With TempStars, you see exactly where each shift is before you offer, so a commute that crosses the Greenbelt is always your call.
Instead of waiting on agency phone calls and lowball rates, you browse real Ottawa shifts in the free app and submit an offer at your own rate.
