The real cost of an empty chair

Every unfilled shift hits production, patients, and your team.

One no-show shouldn’t cost you the whole day. Here’s what’s actually at stake — and how we shut it down.

📉

Lost Production

Every unfilled shift means production you simply can’t get back. The day’s gone — and so is the revenue.

📅

Schedule Disruption

Reschedules and last-minute cancellations create gaps, delays, and a waiting room full of frustrated patients.

Team Stress

Short-staffed days pile pressure on everyone left standing, driving burnout and fatigue across your team.

TempStars helps offices recover fast with vetted dental professionals and reliable, short-notice shift coverage.

Built by a dentist, not a staffing agency

“I built TempStars because I was a dentist staring at an empty hygiene chair, getting nowhere with agencies. Dental temping should just work. So we made it.”

— Dr. James Younger, Founder of TempStars

Two sides, one platform

Whichever side of the chair you’re on.

TempStars works for the office that needs coverage and the professional who wants control. Everyone wins.

Good questions

Everything you were about to ask.

Is TempStars a dental temping agency?
No — and that’s the point. We’re a platform, not an agency. You connect directly with vetted professionals, with no recruiter calls, no middleman, and no placement fees eating into your budget.
How fast can I actually fill a shift?
Most shifts start getting applications within minutes of posting. Because we have the largest network of dental pros in the country, there’s almost always someone nearby ready to pick it up.
What does it cost?
One flat, transparent fee per filled shift for dental offices — no subscriptions, no placement fees, no surprises. And it’s always 100% free for dental professionals.
Are the professionals vetted?
Yes. Credentials are verified before professionals can pick up shifts, and you can review profiles, ratings, and history before you confirm anyone for your office.
What happens if a temp cancels last minute?
You’re covered by our short-notice cancellation guarantee. We help you get the shift re-filled fast so a cancellation doesn’t turn into an empty chair.
