  • —She sends a personal message along with her practice information.

That’s the match.

By the time you sit down, there are no surprises. You both already know what you’re there for.

The conversation already happened.

No more sitting in the chair, feeling vulnerable, while a new dentist learns your story for the very first time.

No more having to explain your anxiety about needles, the bad experiences that made you avoid dentists for years, or what you can actually afford—while they’re just forming their first impression of you.

With MatchMyDentist, the heavy lifting happens before you ever arrive.

Here is the difference: Because they’ve read your story and responded to you beforehand, they already know what matters to you. You will never have to explain your fears, your triggers, or your budget for the first time in the chair.

When you arrive, your dentist still performs a complete clinical evaluation and recommends the treatment that is best for your health. But the human part? That’s already taken care of.

They don’t just know your teeth. They already know you.

Here’s how it works.

01

Tell your real story.

Answer honestly — your insurance, your fears, your schedule, how long it’s been, what you actually need. No name, no phone number. Takes about 5 minutes.

Questionnaire cards: share your story, cost preferences, and comfort options
A dentist chooses you
02

A dentist reads it and replies to you personally.

A real dentist reviews everything you shared. If they believe they can help, they’ll send one personal message explaining why they’re the right fit for your situation. Most patients hear back within 24 hours.

03

Say yes. We connect you.

Review their profile and personal message. If it feels right, accept—we’ll automatically share your contact information with the dentist, and they’ll reach out to schedule. If not, we’ll introduce you to another dentist.

You’re connected with a dentist
who fits your situation.

02

I’m terrified of the dentist

Your fear is real, and the dentist understands it before you even step in.

You know you need to go, but starting feels overwhelming. Your match already knows your situation before you arrive.

“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 just pick whoever’s closest and hope for the best.”

Frequently asked questions.

It’s completely free for patients. There are no fees, no hidden charges, and no obligation. Dentists pay to be part of our network, not you.

Yes. Your profile is anonymous when dentists first review it. They see your story, your needs, your concerns — but not your name or contact information.

When a dentist believes they can help, they send you a message. You review their profile and response before deciding to connect.

Once you accept the match, your contact information is automatically shared so the dentist can reach out to schedule your appointment.

Because lists don’t know you. You can find a dentist on Google in two seconds, but you can’t find out if they handle dental phobia, take your insurance, or focus on your main concern. We do the vetting so you don’t have to.

MatchMyDentist isn’t a directory, and it isn’t random.

Both sides build detailed profiles — not just contact info, but what actually matters. You share your situation: your needs, your comfort level, your timing, your budget. Dentists share what they’re best at, the cases they excel in, and the patients they connect with most.

The platform identifies the dentist whose focus, availability, and approach most closely fit what you shared — and introduces the two of you.

Your profile isn’t sent to dozens of offices, and the fastest responder doesn’t win.

One fit. One introduction. You stay in control.

Not always. You’ll only be introduced when your needs and a participating dentist’s capabilities genuinely line up.

For example, if your insurance isn’t accepted by a participating dentist in your area, or you need sedation and none of the participating dentists nearby offer it, no introduction is made.

When everything does align, you’re introduced to one dentist. Most patients receive a personal message within 24 hours.
