For specialty practices
A dental assistant is not the same as your dental assistant
Ortho, oral surgery, endo, perio, pediatric and prosthodontics all run on different hands. WORKFORCE matches on the chairside work a shift actually involves, so the person who arrives has done it before.
Why general coverage misses a specialty chair
01
The pool is smaller
There are far fewer assistants who have run an ortho chair than there are assistants. A general call for cover reaches the wrong people and wastes the morning.
02
The learning curve is the shift
Someone who has never isolated for endo or held retraction through an extraction list will spend your day being trained rather than working it.
03
Agencies send job titles
A request that says dental assistant gets you a dental assistant. It does not tell anyone that Thursday is a full surgical list.
Coverage by specialty
Pick your chair
Every specialty asks for a different set of hands. Choose one to see the roles we cover and the experience a request can specify.
Orthodontics
Ortho runs on chairside speed and a very specific set of hands. A general-practice assistant is rarely a drop-in substitute.
Roles we cover
- Orthodontic assistant
- Treatment coordinator
- Registered dental hygienist
Experience a request can ask for
- Bracket placement and bonding
- Archwire changes and ligation
- Ceph and pano imaging
- Aligner scanning and tracking
Professionals list the chairside experience they have, so a request reaches people who have actually done the work rather than everyone holding the job title.
The parts that do not change
The clinical requirements differ by specialty. The compliance and employment side works the same way whichever chair you are filling.
Licensing and insurance
Handled on every temp placement, in every market we operate, the same way for a specialty chair as a general one.
How verification worksEmployment sits with us
Every temp is our W2 or T4 employee, so a surgical day does not put a new employment relationship on your practice.
Who employs the professionalHire the ones who fit
Specialty teams are hard to replace. When someone works out, we facilitate the move to a permanent role.
