What is Princess Dental Staffing?
Princess Dental Staffing is a dental job board and temp marketplace. Offices choose a monthly plan, post temp shifts or permanent openings, screen candidates and hire them directly, with no hiring or finder’s fee on top of the subscription. Because the office hires the professional, the office is the employer for that shift.
How Princess Dental Staffing charges dental offices
Princess Dental Staffing publishes monthly plans of about $139 for temps only and $259 for all access, with a free 14-day trial, no finder’s fees when you hire, and cancellation at any time. Support hours are business hours, Pacific time. Teero has no subscription: a flat 12% only after a hygienist works, free permanent hires, and 24/7 support by phone, email or text.

Neither, by default. With Princess Dental Staffing you hire the professional directly, so worker classification, workers’ comp and liability sit with your office. Teero hygienists are W-2 employees on every shift, with taxes withheld and workers’ comp and malpractice coverage handled by Teero. Employer payroll costs are billed with each shift, on top of the 12% service fee.Who each platform fits
Princess Dental Staffing fits offices that hire often, want a large candidate pool for permanent roles and are set up to employ and classify temps themselves. Teero fits offices that want hygienist coverage handled end to end and prefer paying per worked shift over a subscription.
Where Teero pulls ahead
Focus on patient care, not playing middleman
We know your time is precious. You deserve a staffing partner who will save you time, not demand more.
With Princess, offices often need to search through profiles, send outreach messages, negotiate rates, and even run payroll. And because every office sees the same professionals, you’re often competing with other practices. It’s not just inefficient, it’s time taken away from your patients and your team.
Teero simplifies the entire process. You set your rate and then we do the rest. We source, match, and pay the hygienists directly, so you can stay focused on your patients – not your inbox.
Get W-2 reliability, not 1099 maybes
When it comes to dental staffing, compliance and consistency aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re must-haves.
Unlike Princess, which asks offices to manage payroll themselves, every one of Teero’s hygienists is a W-2 employee with full workers’ compensation coverage and comprehensive liability insurance. This means better protection for your practice and more reliable coverage for your patients. Plus, our employment model ensures consistent quality and compliance with all relevant labor laws. No more worrying about worker classification or unexpected legal hiccups.
With Teero, there’s no guesswork. Just peace of mind, shift after shift.
Skip the monthly subscriptions. Only pay when the job gets done
Finding great hygienists is hard enough – paying just to access them shouldn’t be.
While Princess charges a monthly subscription just to post jobs or message candidates, Teero lets you post for free and only charges after a shift is successfully completed. You’re not paying for access. You’re paying for actual results.
At Teero, we believe in a simple principle: you should only pay for work you receive. After all, building your dream team shouldn’t come with a monthly gamble.
Support that never takes a day off
Running a dental practice is a 24/7 job – your staffing partner should be just as committed.
Princess’s chat is available Monday through Friday, 9am–5pm PST, whereas Teero’s dedicated account managers are available whenever you need them, seven days a week. Call, email, or text - we’re here to help through every channel.
Because staffing emergencies don’t wait for Monday morning, neither should your support team.

We started using Teero in June of 2023, working with them has been such a wonderful experience.
We have enjoyed working with all of the Teero team, whether it's setting up shifts, last minute changes or the team members coming to work with us in the office. We can't say enough great things about Teero. Teero has continued to improve the scheduling process since we started using them even though it was alright great to begin with. We are very happy with the care they put into helping our office just as it was their own. Thank you again for everything Teero!
We have been working with Teero since it’s inception, and Nate, and crew, are top notch!
They are fun, professional, accommodating, and most of all do their best to help staff our busy office. In this day of unending needs, they see to it that we are well taken care of. The staff they employ are experienced and great to work with. The Teero website is super user friendly, which makes posting shifts a breeze. They are also helpful with directing us on current rates. If we are in need of an urgent professional, they help add a bonus to ensure we find someone quickly, and they are always prompt in their response to fill our open position. We are lucky to have found this gem!
I'm so happy that I found Rosie through Teero.
After months of no luck with posting my hygiene position on the job websites, I had given up. Then I was connected with Rosie when she joined our office for a temporary role through Teero. She was able to work with us several times and we realized she was a great fit for us. Teero enabled us to quickly transition Rosie from a temporary position to a permanent team member at no additional cost.
