Founded in 1986, San Diego Dental Personnel Service in La Mesa is the largest dental-specific staffing agency covering San Diego and southern Riverside counties from its office at 5360 Jackson Drive, Suite 212, near the Grossmont area. The agency places dentists, registered dental hygienists, dental assistants, and front-office staff into temporary, permanent, and emergency roles at practices throughout East County, filling chair-side and front-desk vacancies at La Mesa locations including Allison Avenue Dental. SDDPS built its referral model from the founder's direct experience as a registered dental assistant, grounding the agency's screening process in clinical knowledge rather than generic HR metrics. Some client relationships have persisted for over 30 years, spanning the full arc from initial temp placement to permanent hire across multiple staff generations within a single dental practice. The agency's matching protocol also extends to cosmetic and implant-focused providers, including Authentic Dental Designs, requiring competency verification in cosmetic, restorative, and implant-support skill sets beyond general-practice basics. Placement logistics demand real-time credential verification against Dental Board of California license databases, same-day emergency fill coordination, and ongoing compliance tracking for OSHA bloodborne-pathogen and radiation-safety certifications across every active temp.
