Would you SPEND an additional $100.00 in temporary staffing fees a day, TO ADD $2,300 to $5,200 to your Daily production?
Our dedicated recruiters have been actively recruiting dental professionals to assist dental practices to catch up on the backlog of patients resulting from the COVID shut down. More often than not we hear “temporary services” are too expensive. The case studies below will begin to show you that your practice CANNOT AFFORD to not utilize staffing agencies.
Case Study #1
Dr Black’s practice had to increase his hygienist’s hourly pay from $31.00 to $33.00 to keep her from leaving to take another position that offered her more in compensation. One day she called in sick- on a day that was fully booked with patients. Strategic Dental Staffing Solutions [SDSS] located and booked a temporary RDH to work that day. The temporary hygienist had a $1,000 daily production and generated $2,500 in treatment for Dr. Black to complete. Bringing the daily production total to $3,500. Had they canceled out the day, they would have lost out on the $3,500 in production.
Looking at chart 1.1 Dr. Black only spent $100.00 more in hygiene compensation than what they would have paid their own dental hygienist to work the day. He spent an additional $100.00 to achieve $3,500 in production

Is your situation like the case study. Could You too, benefit from “temps”? Did you know “temp” rates are similar to your own payroll?
More than what you would have paid your own employees?
Case Study #2
Dr. Smith’s office pays their hygienist 30% of net production. They built a schedule to accommodate patients due to the covid shutdown- but did not have a hygienist to cover the shift. Strategic Dental Staffing Solutions [SDSS] provided them with a dental hygienist. Interestingly enough, the scheduled hygiene production ended up totaling $1,500 and generated over $3,500 in treatment for Dr. Smith to complete.
Dr. Smith paid SDSS $382.00 for the staffing coverage. As you can see from Chart 1.2, Dr. Smith saved $68.00 that day. He would have paid one of his hygienists $ 450.00 rather than the $382.00 he paid out to SDSS. His savings would have been even greater if the scheduled production was over $1,500
