Pre-Arrival Information: Setting Everyone Up for Success

Pre-arrival information is crucial for creating positive temping experiences for both dental professionals and offices. When Talent receives detailed information before their shift, it eliminates uncertainty and allows them to arrive fully prepared and confident.

• Prepare mentally for the practice's software and clinical protocols
• Have clear contact information for any last-minute questions or delays
• Understand payment procedures and scheduling expectations

Benefits for Dental Offices:

• Reduces time spent on orientation and explanations
• Ensures Talent arrives with all necessary credentials
• Sets clear expectations about procedures and protocols
• Minimizes miscommunications about arrival times and logistics
• Creates a more professional, organized first impression
