Someone on your team calls in sick, your first patient is arriving soon, and the schedule is full. Whether you’re missing a dental hygienist, dental assistant, receptionist or dentist, you need to find coverage while getting everything else ready for the day.

If you’re looking for a dental temp agency in Vancouver, having a few details ready can help get the search moving.

At ASAP Dental Temps, we help Vancouver dental offices arrange temporary coverage. You send us the details, we handle the searching and coordination, and your office approves who is booked.

Send your request as soon as you know you need coverage

You don’t need to wait until the office opens. As soon as you receive notice that someone will be away, call or text our 24/7 BC staffing line at 778-656-0102, or submit a staffing request online.

It doesn’t matter what time it is, day or night. Send us your request and we’ll get started working on it.

More notice gives us more time to reach dental professionals who may be available.

Need someone today? We often have dental professionals available to pick up shifts on short notice. Call, text or submit your request online as soon as you know you need coverage so we can get started finding someone for your office.

What to include when requesting a dental temp in Vancouver

The details you provide help our system match your request with dental professionals who fit your office’s needs. Include:

• Your office name and full address.
• The role you need covered, such as a dental hygienist, dental assistant, receptionist or locum dentist.
• The date or dates and working hours, including the arrival time, expected finish time and any breaks.
• The best mobile number for text confirmations, an email address for confirmations, or both.
• The name of the best person to contact about the request.
• The dental software your office uses.
• Any specific experience, skills, modules or additional training required.
• Any rate preferences you’d like us to consider.
• Parking, building access or other arrival instructions.

If you need someone with orthodontic experience, a specific module or familiarity with a particular type of practice, tell us when you submit the request.

It also helps to explain which requirements are essential and which are preferences. For example, if software experience would be helpful but you’re comfortable showing someone your system, let us know.

Our matching system uses these details to help identify suitable dental professionals. The clearer the request, the better we can narrow the search to someone who fits.

Be clear about the hours

There’s a difference between the first patient’s appointment time and the time you need the temp to arrive.

If patients start at 8 a.m. but you need someone there at 7:45 to prepare, include 7:45 as the start time. Let us know about the lunch break and expected finish time too.

If you have some flexibility, mention it. Someone who can arrive a little later or cover part of the day might still help you keep some of your appointments.

We can discuss those options with you so you can decide what works for your office.

Include parking and arrival details

For a temp travelling to a Vancouver office, knowing where to park and how to get inside can make the morning easier.

Is there staff parking? Do they need a parking pass? Is the entrance inside a larger building? Will someone need to let them in before opening hours?

Include those instructions with your request so we can pass them along with the shift details. That gives the temp time to plan their arrival and helps avoid confusion on the day.

How booking through ASAP Dental Temps works

You can request temporary dental staff online, or call or text 778-656-0102 at any time, day or night.

Our matching technology uses your request details to identify suitable dental professionals and notify them through our texting system and app. That includes factors such as location, availability, software experience, skills and rate preferences.

Our team handles the responses and coordinates the booking with your office. You don’t need to use an app or search through profiles yourself, and you approve who is booked.

Provide the mobile number or email address where you want to receive confirmations so the booking details reach the right person.

Need coverage for more than one day?

If you already know you need several dates covered, send them together. That could be a vacation, a longer leave or a few shifts each week while you’re hiring.

Let us know whether you’d prefer the same person for every date or whether different temps would work. We can look for someone available across the requested dates, although one person may not be able to cover them all.

Include the hours for each date if they vary, along with any requirements specific to those shifts.
