Dental staff cover, booked fast.
Book vetted dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, reception and practice managers — locum, permanent or interim. Built by dentists, for clinics that can't afford gaps.
We're onboarding clinics first. Post your first shift now — we'll match you the moment a verified locum joins your area.
Cover every role your clinic depends on.
From locum cover to permanent recruitment — clinical and admin.
Dentists
Locum cover for sick leave, annual leave, overflow books, and planned clinical support.
Hygienists & OHTs
Hygiene cover for recalls, perio maintenance, and underutilised hygiene books.
Dental assistants
Chairside support for dentists, hygienists, specialists and busy clinical sessions.
Receptionists
Front-desk for calls, bookings, billing, patient flow and clinic coordination.
Practice managers
Operational, HR and software-fluent leaders. Permanent and interim placement.
Full team
Bundle dentist + assistant + reception in one request. Cleaner coordination.
When one person is missing, the whole clinic feels it.
- A missing dentist means cancelled appointments.
- A missing assistant slows the entire column.
- A missing hygienist leaves books underused.
- A missing receptionist turns the front desk into chaos.
Most clinics still solve this by calling old contact lists, messaging group chats, and chasing agencies.
Four steps. One platform.
Post the shift
Choose role, date, time, location and rate. Add multiple roles to the same request.

Every professional is vetted before joining.
For clinical roles, registration and suitability matter. For support roles, experience and reliability matter.
