No searching. No calling around.
A dentist reads your story—not your name or contact details. If they believe they may be able to help, they’ll send you a personal message through MatchMyDentist.
Hear their approach. Then decide whether to connect.
A real, personal reply.

Our platform shows you one dentist at a time. Your answers are compared with each dentist’s profile and preferences—not stars or reviews.
Compare that to the usual way:
Illustrative example—not an actual patient match.
Share your anxiety about needles, difficult past experiences, and financial concerns before the first appointment—not for the first time in the chair.
Tell us about your needs, insurance, budget, comfort preferences, and availability. Then explain what you want a dentist to understand in your own words. Your name and contact information aren’t shown to the dentist unless you choose to connect.
A real dentist reviews what you shared. If they believe they may be able to help, they’ll send one personal message explaining how they might approach your situation. Most patients hear back within 24 hours, after the dentist has had time to review what you shared and write a thoughtful response.
Review their profile and message. If it feels right, accept and we’ll share your contact information. If not, decline, and your story can go to the next dentist who best fits your profile.
Share your budget and what you need to address first before a dentist decides whether they may be able to help.
Tell them what scares you and what would help you feel safer before you ever walk through the door.
You don’t have to hide what you’re worried they’ll see. A dentist can read your story before deciding whether to respond.
Starting can feel like the hardest part. Share what has kept you away before you decide whether to connect.
“We personalize what we watch, what we listen to, and what we eat. Yet the person holding a drill six inches from our face? Most of us pick whoever’s closest and hope for the best.”

A Navy veteran with dental anxiety struggled to trust a new dentist after military dental care left him traumatized.
Watch his story →She chose MatchMyDentist and immediately felt as if she had known the dentist for years.
Watch her story →MatchMyDentist is free for patients. There’s no charge to answer the questions, share your story, or receive a dentist’s response, and no obligation to book.
Dental appointments and treatment are separate and may involve charges. Dentists pay to participate in the platform.
It means you can share your concerns, priorities, and preferences before deciding whether to connect with a dentist.
Maybe you want to start with one concern, understand costs before committing, or avoid repeating a difficult past experience. A dentist can read that information and explain how they would approach your situation.
It doesn’t mean setting the dentist’s fees or determining treatment without an exam. Your clinical needs, treatment options, and costs still need to be discussed with the dentist.
When a dentist reviews your profile, they can see your answers and story—not your name, phone number, or email address. Avoid including identifying details in your written story.
You can read their message and view their profile before deciding whether to connect. Only when you select “Accept” is your contact information shared so the practice can reach out about scheduling.
Accepting doesn’t book an appointment or commit you to treatment.
You can search directories and compare dentists yourself. MatchMyDentist offers a different starting point: you share your situation first.
Rather than choose from a list alone, you can read a personal response from a dentist who has reviewed what matters to you—before you book.
You share your needs, priorities, budget, comfort preferences, insurance, and availability. Participating dentists provide information about their practices.
The platform’s algorithm compares those profiles to look for a potential fit. The dentist then reviews your answers and story and sends a personal message only if they believe they can help.
You review their message and profile, then decide whether to connect.
The platform looks for alignment between your profile and participating dentists’ practice profiles. A dentist then reviews your situation before deciding whether to respond.
We don’t simply send you to any dentist, so a response isn’t guaranteed.
Most patients receive a personal message within 24 hours. That time allows a dentist to review what you shared and write a thoughtful response.
Free. Private. Takes about 5 min.
