AvailAble NOW — On-demand dental hygienist staffing

Introducing

AvailAble NOW

The fastest way for dental practices to fill a hygienist shift — sometimes with as little as one hour's notice. And the best way for RDHs to earn on their own schedule.

The Problem

Dental offices lose $800–$1,500 per empty hygienist chair. Last-minute callouts are common and coverage is nearly impossible to find fast.

The Solution

AvailAble NOW is a two-sided marketplace that matches verified RDHs to open shifts in real time — bookable in minutes, coverable in under an hour.

The Model

Clinics pay a flat booking fee per confirmed shift. No subscription, no percentage taken from hygienist pay. Simple and predictable.

Launch Market

Start in a single metro with high dental density — Tucson, Phoenix, or similar Sun Belt city — then expand zip code by zip code.

Trust & Safety

All RDHs are pre-verified: active license, malpractice insurance, background check, and peer-rated after every shift.

The Plan

AvailAble NOW

A capital-light, fee-per-booking marketplace for on-demand dental hygienist coverage — launching one metro at a time.

Market opportunity

~200k registered dental hygienists (RDHs) in the U.S.

~180k dental practices that schedule hygiene chairs

$800–$1.5k lost revenue per empty hygienist chair, per day

1 hr target time to fill a last-minute open shift

How we make money

Flat booking fee

Clinics pay a flat fee per confirmed shift — no subscription and no cut of the hygienist's pay. Predictable for the office and fair to the RDH.

Revenue that scales with shifts

Revenue grows directly with confirmed bookings. As liquidity in a metro improves, fill rates rise and each clinic books more often — compounding volume per market.

Capital-light operations

We're a marketplace, not an employer or staffing agency. RDHs are independent professionals, so we carry no payroll for the supply side and overhead stays low.

Future revenue lines

Optional add-ons over time: priority placement, instant payout for hygienists, credential management, and analytics for multi-location dental groups.

Go-to-market

Land one metro. Launch in a single high-density Sun Belt market — Tucson or Phoenix — and saturate it before expanding.
Seed supply first. Recruit and verify a core roster of RDHs so that day-one shift requests can actually be filled.
Win clinics with reliability. Sign practices on the promise of fast, verified coverage; prove fill rate and let word of mouth spread office to office.
Expand zip code by zip code. Grow into adjacent areas only once liquidity is healthy, then repeat the playbook in the next metro.

Why we win

Speed

Real-time matching fills shifts in minutes to an hour — far faster than calling around or waiting on a traditional temp agency.

Trust as the moat

Every RDH is pre-verified — active license, malpractice insurance, background check — and peer-rated after each shift, so quality compounds with volume.
