The modern standard for dental locum cover: Locum cover,
without the agency

Post a shift and it reaches fully verified dentists, dental nurses and hygienists straight away. Keep your rota running without picking up the phone.

Why practices switch

Smart Matching. Checked professionals. Fair rates

Set your top rate. We find the cover

Smart Matching reads the market to find a checked professional at the right price, never above your cap. You see the full cost before you commit.

Verified up front, kept current

GDC registration, right to work and DBS are checked before anyone can accept, with indemnity where the role needs it. If a registration or document lapses, they can’t book shifts that need it.

The right skills for your list

Implant nursing, orthodontics, sedation or general dentistry. Mark the skills your session needs, and only professionals who hold them are offered the shift.

What TempDash is

Technology that does the heavy lifting

Booking a locum used to mean phone calls and guesswork. TempDash runs the checks, the matching and the payments for you, from the moment your shift is posted.

Identity, right to work, DBS and professional registration are checked before anyone can accept a shift. Registration is then re checked automatically, and again before every shift, so anyone whose registration lapses can’t book.

Smart Matching finds a verified professional at the right rate for your shift, showing you the full cost, platform fee included, before you ever post.

You set your terms and your top rate, then connect directly with verified professionals. The full cost is clear from post to payout.

Getting started

Set up your business from your phone

Create your account, confirm your business and sign, all in the app. Add your first location and you’re ready to post your first shift.

Get started

TempDash Business

Dental nurse shift booking, without the back and forth

Post shifts, follow the day as it happens and close it out, all from the TempDash Business app.

Step 1

Post it, see the full cost

The role, the day, the hours and your top rate. You see the full cost before you commit, and Smart Matching does the rest.

Step 2

Follow the day live

See arrivals as they happen, with a direct line to everyone booked. No phone tag.

Step 3

Timesheets that run themselves

Times come straight from the shift, so the timesheet is right first time. Booked hours settle when the shift ends and only overtime waits for your yes.

And then it’s settled

One statement. Nothing to chase

No paper invoices and no month end admin. Booked hours settle when the shift ends, and every shift lands on one clear statement.

Checked before they can accept, not after they arrive

What we check

  • Professional registration verified up front, then watched, so nothing lapses between shifts
  • Right to work checked to the standard you are legally obliged to hold
  • Identity confirmed against real photo ID, never a photocopy
  • Every document the role needs, in date on the day of the shift

For dental groups

One account. Every practice. Total control

Run every location under one organisation. Top up centrally, give each practice its own balance, invite your managers with the permissions their role needs, and see who booked what across the group.

  • Multi practice organisations
  • Central top ups and balances
  • Team roles and permissions
  • Reports on every booking

Control

Stay in control of every pound

  • Permissions for each person

    Choose what everyone on your team can do, location by location, from posting shifts to approving hours.

  • Spending limits

    Give each person a monthly limit. Anything that would take them over it waits for your approval.

  • Every location, its own balance

    Share out one balance between your locations, and move it as plans change.

  • Extra time, your call

    Booked hours are paid automatically. Any extra time comes to you before it’s paid.

  • Only pay for cover

    If a professional can’t make it, we look for someone else. If nobody can take it, you’re not charged.

  • Your account stays yours

    Top ups, payment changes and team changes ask for your PIN or your face. Turn on two step verification and a new phone has to prove it’s you.

What it costs

Smart pricing. Nothing hidden

Smart Matching finds great cover at a fair price, never above your cap. The full breakdown, our platform fee included, is shown before you post. No agency in the middle, nothing added after.

Questions, answered

How quickly can we get a shift covered?
Your shift reaches qualified professionals the moment you post it, and you see interest arrive live in the TempDash Business app. How fast it fills depends on the role, the day and the rate, and if a shift is slow to move we tell you what would help.
Are they employed by us?
No. Every professional is self employed and chooses to accept your shift, so you get the cover without taking anyone on.
Can we book the same professional again?
Yes. Keep a list of the professionals who already know how your team works, and offer them shifts directly.
How does smart pricing work?
You set the rate you would like to pay and the most you are willing to go to. Smart Matching starts at your rate and only raises the offer when the shift needs it. It never goes past your ceiling, and it never surprises you with a hidden fee.
Can we ask for a particular specialism?
Yes, down to the exact skill. From implant nursing to sedation and paediatric experience, pick what your session needs and choose whether each is strictly required or a nice to have. Strict requirements are only offered to professionals who hold them.
What do we pay, and when?
You see the full cost before you post. Booked hours settle when the shift ends, and every shift shows on one statement.
