    Dental Temp Agencies and Staffing Platforms by State (2025)

    By Dental Staffing Reviews March 3, 2025 10 min read

    Finding the right dental staffing solution depends on your location. Here's a breakdown of available options by state and region.

    Important Note:

    Platform availability and quality can vary significantly by market. We recommend trying multiple options to see which works best for your specific location and needs. Reviews and experiences differ by region.

    National Platforms

    These platforms operate across most of the United States:

    • GoTu (formerly TempMee) - Large network with coverage in many states. Known for fast booking but experiences vary by location.
    • Toothio - Quality-focused platform in major metros. More selective vetting process but smaller network.
    • Kwikly - Growing platform with competitive rates, especially in Texas and the Southeast.
    • DentalPost - Established job board. Better suited for permanent placement than temp shifts.
    • Stynt - Newer platform expanding coverage. Weekly pay option available.

    Regional and Local Options

    West Coast (CA, WA, OR)

    • Princess Dental Staffing - California-based agency with easy signup, though quality varies by reviews
    • Toothio - Active in LA, SF, and Seattle metros
    • Multiple national platforms operate here due to high demand

    Texas and Southwest

    • Kwikly - Founded in Texas with strong DFW and Houston presence
    • Mayday Dental Staffing - Regional agency covering Texas
    • Stynt - Growing presence in Arizona and Nevada

    Southeast (FL, GA, NC, SC)

    • Mayday Dental Staffing - Strong in Florida and Georgia with personal service approach
    • Kwikly - Expanding in this region
    • National apps have good coverage in major metros like Miami, Atlanta, and Charlotte

    Northeast (NY, NJ, PA, MA)

    • H&R Dental - Traditional agency with Northeast presence (check reviews carefully)
    • Dental Power - Regional agency option
    • National platforms have varying coverage outside major metros

    Midwest (IL, OH, MI, MN)

    • Totally Temps - Chicago-area specialist
    • DentalPost - Often used for permanent placements in smaller markets
    • Coverage from national apps can be limited outside major cities

    How to Evaluate Options

    Consider these factors when selecting a platform:

    • Local Coverage: Does the platform have active users in your specific area? National presence does not guarantee local availability.
    • Reviews from Your Area: Look for reviews from practices or professionals in your market specifically.
    • Fees and Pricing: Compare platform fees, markup percentages, and any subscription costs.
    • Cancellation Policies: Understand what happens if a temp cancels or does not show up.
    • Credential Verification: How thoroughly does the platform vet professionals?

    Our Recommendation:

    There is no single "best" platform. Try 2-3 options to see which has the best coverage and quality in your specific market. Read reviews carefully, focusing on recent experiences from your region.
