The problem with dental care isn’t you
It’s not the dentist either
It’s this: You both have to guess
You guess
Will they judge your budget?
Will they rush you?
Will they actually care?
They guess
Are they serious about treatment?
So you hide your fear. They guard their time. And nothing ever lines up.
We built MatchMyDentist to end the guessing
You share what matters: your budget, your concerns, what you need—openly and anonymously.
And dentists who are equipped, willing, and ready to help — choose to work with you.
Not because they have to, but because they want to.
A real connection before you meet.
This isn’t about fixing teeth. It’s about aligning the needs of both the dentist and the patient so that both people genuinely want to work together.
Finally, dental care that works for both sides
Why We Built ThiS
While digital innovation has transformed nearly every industry, we still pick dentists like it’s 1999; zip codes, insurance filters, and star ratings that say little about real compatibility.
As both a practicing dentist and a tech geek, I saw the deeper problem: the system ignores what truly matters: the unique needs of each patient and the individual strengths of each dentist.
Great dentists who would be perfect matches often go unnoticed. They’re buried on page 12 of Google. Their websites aren’t flashy enough. Or they’re simply #200 on an insurance list. The best matches remain invisible while patients settle for whoever’s closest or has the most reviews.
And patients? They’re left wondering.
Who will take their fears seriously. Who will explain, not rush. Guessing who will understand their dental past before recommending their future. You can’t find those answers on a website, review or list.
That’s why I built MatchMyDentist. I want to bring personalization and trust back into how patients and dentists find each other. By letting patients share their preferences upfront and allowing dentists to choose whom they’re truly best suited to help, we create something that’s been missing for far too long:
A real connection… before the first appointment.
The result isn’t just better care. It’s care that finally feels personal again.

Powered by AI
Perfected by Humans
Our proprietary matching technology analyzes hundreds of compatibility factors from treatment philosophy and communication style to scheduling preferences and budget alignment to identify the single best patient-dentist pairing. Our AI considers what traditional directories miss: Does this dentist excel with anxious patients? Do they prefer comprehensive treatment plans or phased approaches? How do they handle budget conversations? Are they known for thorough explanations or efficient visits?
But algorithms don’t make promises to patients. People do.
Every match requires a human decision. The dentist reviews your complete profile, considers their own strengths and capacity, and makes a conscious choice: “Yes, I believe I can help this person succeed.”
This combination of breakthrough matching intelligence with genuine human commitment is what makes MatchMyDentist the first and only platform of its kind.
The technology finds compatibility. The dentist chooses connection. And you get care that’s both smart and personal.
Our core beliefs
- Great dentistry isn’t found by typing “dentist near me.”
- Trust shouldn’t start at the dental chair. It should begin long before.
- Dentists deserve to be found by patients who need them not just those closest by.
- Matching should be about fit, not filters.
- Personal care still matters even in a digital world.
