Our standard of excellence

A licensed RDH who runs your schedule like it’s their own.

That’s the bar. Not a fill-in. A dental professional who walks in, reads the room, and keeps your day on time.

01

Verified licenses

We interview every dental professional, check references, and verify their California license or permit before a first assignment. Practices see the license before they confirm.

02

Reliable arrival

Every assignment is confirmed in writing with time, address and who to ask for. If a dental professional can’t make it, we work to replace them and you aren’t charged.

03

Professional conduct

Every dental professional agrees to our standards in writing: on time, prepared, respectful of your patients and your team, and confidential. Repeated late cancellations mean a suspension.

04

A handpicked network

Joining is by approval, not sign-up. We’d rather send one great RDA than three maybes.

Short-staffed at 6 AM? We’ve got you.

Your patient booked that cleaning six months ago. Don’t cancel them at 8 AM. You’d charge them for that.

Cancelling isn’t just losing a day. Your whole team stops to call every patient, take the complaints, and try to rebook. You’re booked six months out, so those patients won’t get back in soon. That’s a disservice to your patients and your practice.

Request a dental professional instead. They walk in licensed and ready, and your day looks flawless. Fill the chair.

From one office manager to another

Do the math before you cancel.

Speaking as an office manager: when your hygienist calls out, cancelling feels like the safe move. It’s the expensive one. Here’s a typical hygiene day.

Option A

Fill the chair

RDH, $75/hr × 8 hrs$600
Aligned placement fee$75
Your cost$675
8 prophys at $150 (low end)$1,200 billed
You still come out ahead by$525

Patients get seen. Your schedule stays intact.

Option B

Cancel the day

Lost production$1,200
Treatment coordinator calling patients, 2 hrs × $30/hr$60
Lost$1,260

Plus patients who booked months ago are upset, and their next opening may be months away.

Example only. Your fees, rates and schedule will differ. Each dental professional sets their own hourly rate, and you see it before you confirm.

From our front desk
“Your patients reserved their spot six months ago. Don’t cancel them the day of their appointment. Fill your hygiene chair.”
From one office manager to another
Today, tomorrow, or next month

Empty chair? Let’s fill it.

Sick call, no-show, vacation or maternity leave: request a single day, or cover a planned leave one day at a time. Ready to hire for the long term? Ask about permanent placement.
