Staffing has never been easy in dentistry—and in recent years, it’s only gotten tougher. Hygienists are in high demand, team burnout is real, and even one unexpected sick day can throw an entire day’s schedule into chaos.
That’s why we’re excited to share some good news: ClearDent has partnered with TempStars, Canada’s leading dental temping and hiring platform, to help practices fill staffing gaps quickly and confidently — directly from the ClearDent platform you already know and love.
What This Partnership Means for Your Practice
Through this new collaboration, you’ll be able to access TempStars directly from the ClearDent “Partners” section in both our on-premise and cloud platforms.
That means:
- No switching between multiple apps or tabs
- No copy-pasting details from one system to another
- No added complexity for your front desk team
Instead, you can discover and connect with qualified dental professionals right from the tools you already use every day to manage your schedule, patients, and charts.
Meet TempStars: Canada’s Leading Dental Temping & Hiring Platform
TempStars is not just another temping service. It’s a technology-powered staffing platform built specifically for dentistry, and it’s already widely trusted across Canada:
- 25,000+ dental professionals (hygienists, assistants, and administrative staff)
- 10,000+ dental offices
- Recently recognized by Forbes as one of Canada’s best temporary staffing firms of 2025
Their mission is simple: reduce the stress of staffing shortages while helping practices keep operations running smoothly and patient care uninterrupted.
Why Staffing Support Inside ClearDent Matters
When staffing breaks down, everything else feels harder:
- The front desk is scrambling to call patients and reshuffle the schedule
- Providers are overbooked or working short-handed
- Patients wait longer—or get rescheduled entirely
- Revenue takes a hit as open chair time grows
By bringing TempStars into ClearDent, we’re helping practices:
1. Respond Faster to Staffing Gaps
Last-minute cancellation from a hygienist? Unexpected leave? Instead of panicking, your team can:
- Open ClearDent
- Navigate to the Partners section
- Launch TempStars and begin filling the shift
The goal: fewer frantic phone calls, fewer cancelled appointments, and more days that go according to plan.
2. Access a Large Pool of Qualified Dental Professionals
TempStars connects you with licensed hygienists and assistants who understand how a modern dental practice runs.
You can use TempStars to:
- Book a hygienist or assistant for a single shift
- Fill in coverage during vacations or leaves
- Explore longer-term hiring opportunities when you find professionals who are a great fit
3. Protect Production and Patient Experience
Staff shortages don’t just affect your team—they affect your patients and your bottom line. With more reliable access to temporary and permanent staff, your practice can:
- Keep hygiene columns full and productive
- Avoid rescheduling patients unnecessarily
- Maintain a consistent, high-quality patient experience
- Reduce stress on your core team
4. Support Growth, Not Just Damage Control
Staffing shouldn’t only be reactive. With easier access to qualified professionals, practices can also:
- Experiment with adding hygiene days
- Extend hours or open additional days
- Build a more resilient team model that can flex with demand
TempStars plus ClearDent gives practices more flexibility to grow strategically, not just patch holes.
