When it comes to finding temporary dental staff, the stakes are high. You need licensed dental hygienists, dental assistants, associate dentists, and front desk staff who are not only technically skilled but also personable and able to integrate with your team seamlessly. Every unfilled chair at your practice represents lost revenue and disappointed patients.
The growing demand for flexible staffing solutions has led to a surge in dental temp agencies. But there’s a better way. GoTu is revolutionizing dental staffing by connecting practices directly with vetted dental professionals, eliminating agency markups, restrictive contracts, and the headaches of traditional temp agencies.
How Does GoTu Work? Dental Staffing Made Simple
GoTu provides an easy-to-use tech-enabled platform where dental practices can post shifts and licensed dental professionals can browse and apply to opportunities that fit their schedule. Unlike traditional temp agencies that charge 50-70% markups, GoTu connects you directly with professionals, saving your practice 30-40% on staffing costs.
Every professional on GoTu is fully credentialed and verified. We check licenses and credentials so you don’t have to. Plus, GoTu is an official partner of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), giving you confidence that you’re working with a trusted, industry-recognized platform.
GoTu Makes It Easy for Dental Practices To Find Quality Staff
As a dental practice manager or office administrator, you understand the pressure of maintaining a full schedule. When a team member calls in sick, takes maternity leave, or gives notice, you’re left scrambling to fill that chair. Empty chairs mean canceled appointments, a growing backlog, and lost production (up to $2,500-$4,000 per day).
GoTu was built to solve this exact problem. Whether you need a dental hygienist for a single day, coverage for several weeks, or even a trial period before making a permanent hire, GoTu delivers qualified professionals quickly and affordably.
