Dental Assistant Staffing Agency,
Permit-Verified, 48-Hour Shortlist

We place chairside, radiography-permitted, expanded-function and lead dental assistants permanently across every US metro. Because dental assisting is regulated state by state, we confirm the registration and every permit with the state dental board before you see a profile.

What does a dental assistant staffing agency do?

A dental assistant staffing agency finds chairside assistants and verifies that they may lawfully do the duties your practice needs. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll, not as temp chairside cover. This role is regulated entirely at state level: registration, radiography (x-ray) permits, coronal polishing and expanded-function duties are each separately permitted, and the same job title covers very different scopes in different states. We confirm the registration and each permit with the state dental board, plus DANB certification where held. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire. Assistants are never charged.

Using temp chairside cover?

Need a permanent assistant instead of a different face every week?

Temp chairside cover carries an hourly markup and starts from zero on your instruments, your software and your doctor's preferences every single time. Patients notice, and so does the schedule. A permanent, permit-verified assistant is a one-time fee and reaches full chairside speed in weeks rather than never.

Credential Verification

Every Licence Verified Before Delivery

Unverified dental assistants never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.

State dental board registration

Dental assisting is regulated state by state, and the same job title carries a different lawful scope in each. We confirm registration with the state dental board and record exactly which duties the candidate may perform in your state, rather than assuming the scope from a previous employer in another one.

State dental boardScope recorded

Radiography permits

Taking dental radiographs requires a separate permit in most states, often with its own course and examination. We verify the permit specifically, because an assistant without it cannot take the images your schedule assumes and the practice carries the exposure if they do.

X-ray permitState courseVerified

DANB certification and expanded functions

DANB's Certified Dental Assistant credential is confirmed with the board, as are coronal polishing, sealant and expanded-function permits where the state grants them. EFDA scope is what lets a doctor run two columns, so it is worth confirming rather than inferring.

DANB CDAEFDACoronal polishing

Infection control, BLS and screening

Current BLS certification is verified with the issuing training centre, along with bloodborne-pathogen and infection-control training. Background screening is FCRA-compliant and Form I-9 with E-Verify is completed before start.

Employer Value

What an Unfilled Dental Assistant Seat Costs, and How We Cut It

Without an assistant, a doctor works slower, a hygienist works alone and columns get cancelled, which is a revenue problem before it is a staffing one.

48 hrs
Days, not weeks, to fill

A verified 3-5 shortlist of dental assistants lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.

100%
Scope confirmed for your state

Registration, radiography permit and expanded-function scope are confirmed with the state dental board, so a new assistant can take images and assist on day one rather than after a permit application.

$0
Upfront on Direct Hire

Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous healthcare hiring, with no per-hire fee.

90 days
A bad fit is not a sunk cost

If a placed dental assistant leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.

Markets

Top Dental Assistant Staffing Markets

Sun Belt dental service organisations

Rapid DSO expansion across Texas, Florida and Arizona has made permitted, expanded-function assistants the scarcest hire in the practice.

Coming soon

Suburban group practices

Multi-doctor offices where an assistant's radiography and EFDA scope determines how many columns can run at once.

Coming soon

Rural single-doctor practices

A single vacancy can halve capacity, and the local candidate pool is often a handful of people.

Screening & Compliance

Every Dental Assistant, Fully Vetted

Before a dental assistant reaches your shortlist we confirm the licence, safety cards, and right to work, so you take on a fully de-risked hire.

State licence & credentials

Every state licence and certification confirmed active against the issuing authority, never self-reported.

Safety cards

OSHA 10/30 and trade safety cards (e.g. NFPA 70E) verified against DOL-authorised provider records.

Background & drug screening

County, state, and federal checks run FCRA-compliant, plus 5- or 10-panel drug screening aligned to your jobsite policy.

Right-to-work & E-Verify

Form I-9 completed and E-Verify confirmed before start date, so every placement is work-authorized.

Insurance & liability. GlobalCybers carries general and professional liability cover, and every direct-hire placement goes onto your payroll as a W-2 employee, keeping worker-classification risk inside a compliant process.

FAQ

Dental Assistant Staffing Agency FAQ

How quickly can you deliver a dental assistant shortlist?

A verified shortlist of 3-5 dental assistants is delivered within 48 hours of a complete brief. We need the state, the duties the role must cover, whether radiography and expanded functions are required, and your software. Permits are confirmed with the state board before the profile reaches you.

Do you place temporary chairside cover?

No. GlobalCybers places permanent dental assistants only, as full-time hires onto the practice's payroll. Temp chairside cover and day-rate assistants are outside our model.

Why does the state matter so much for dental assisting?

Because the entire scope of practice is set at state level. Registration, radiography permits, coronal polishing and expanded functions are each granted separately, and a candidate fully permitted in one state may be permitted for very little in yours. We confirm scope with your state's dental board and put it in the profile rather than leaving you to discover it.

What do dental assistants earn nationally?

Per BLS OEWS May 2025, dental assistants (SOC 31-9091) earn a national median of $48,070 across 387,790 jobs, with about 52,900 openings a year and 6.4% projected growth through 2034. Expanded-function and radiography-permitted assistants generally sit above the median because they let a practice run more chairs.
