Matched to your office
We don’t send whoever is free. We match on the things that matter in the operatory: your location, your practice software, the experience level you want and your rate range. If your office has a requirement, such as bringing your own loupes with a light, we tell the hygienist up front.
Where we place temp hygienists
Across the province: in Metro Vancouver and the Tri-Cities, south of the Fraser in Surrey and Langley, in the Fraser Valley, on Vancouver Island and in the Okanagan and the Interior. Find your city on our dental staffing agency in BC page, or start with Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Langley or Abbotsford.
Looking for a permanent hygienist?
If a temp is a great fit for your office, we also offer temp-to-perm and permanent placement.
