Key Challenges
The dental industry faced a massive trust and transparency crisis, with 64% of patients finding dental pricing confusing and 60% of Americans avoiding regular dental care due to uncertainty around quality and costs. Patients struggled to find reliable dentists, understand treatment options, and navigate complex pricing structures.
Traditional dental practices lacked digital platforms for patient acquisition and booking, while patients had no way to compare dentists, read verified reviews, or understand upfront costs. This created barriers to care access and left many dental needs unmet, particularly for complex procedures like implants and cosmetic treatments.
