FAQ
Dental career questions, answered.
- What does a dental staffing agency do for clinicians?
- A dental staffing agency connects dentists, hygienists, dental assistants and front-office staff with practices that are hiring. At Sagaz, you register once, tell us the roles, schedule and pay you want, and we match you to vetted US dental practices — permanent roles and temp cover alike. You interview and choose; we never place you anywhere without your say-so.
- Does it cost anything to register with a dental temp agency?
- No. Registering with Sagaz is always free for clinicians. Dental practices pay us to find and vet great people — you never pay a fee, and your pay is never docked to cover our service.
- What's the difference between temp and permanent dental roles?
- Temp roles cover short-term gaps — a sick day, parental leave or a busy season — and suit clinicians who want flexible schedules and variety. Permanent roles are full-time or part-time positions at one practice. Many clinicians temp with us first to try a practice before committing permanently.
- How quickly can a dental staffing agency find me work?
- After you register, we call you within one business day for a short screening conversation. From there, temp shifts can come up within days, while the right permanent match typically takes a few weeks — we prioritize fit over speed so you stay.
- Do I need to be licensed before a dental temp agency can place me?
- Yes — you'll need an active state license for clinical roles (dentists and hygienists) and any required certifications for assisting roles in your state. We'll confirm your credentials during the screening call and only introduce you to practices where you're fully compliant to work.
- Is my registration with a dental staffing agency confidential?
- Completely. Your details stay with the Sagaz team and are only shared with a specific practice after you've agreed to the introduction. Many of our clinicians are quietly exploring while still employed — discretion is part of the job.
