Meet Carly J. & Dr. Katie
The system handed Carly’s page to Katie.
She opened it and said: “This is mine.”
The next morning, Carly opened her phone.
“Finally.”
That’s the match.
What's Your Real Dental Budget?
Most people avoid the dentist because they don’t even know where to start. What it costs. What they need. Whether anyone will even work with them.
Here’s the thing — you don’t need to know any of that.
Just tell us honestly: what can you realistically spend? Not what you think it should cost. Not what you think sounds good. The real number. The one that doesn’t stress you out.
That’s it. That’s your part.
A real dentist, not an algorithm, not a chatbot will look at your budget, your situation, and your story. And if they genuinely believe they can help you within what you can afford, they’ll reach out.
If it’s not a fit, they simply won’t. No rejection email. No awkward phone call. No one ever sees your name unless you want them to.
When a dentist does reach out, it means they’ve already thought through how to make it work — and there are three ways they typically can:
Total Care
If your budget covers your full needs, you start treatment immediately with no financial surprises.
Phased Treatment
If your needs exceed your current budget, the dentist prioritizes urgent care now and plans the rest in affordable stages over time.
Preventive Wait
If treatment isn't urgent or affordable yet, your dentist focuses only on what’s necessary to keep you stable until you’re ready for more.
Who this is for
Fixed Income / Retired
Dentist already knows your cap. Walk in ready to talk real plans.
Dental Anxiety
They’ve read your fears. Walk in knowing they won’t rush or judge.
General & Specialty
Whether fillings or implants — they chose your case.
Second Opinion
Share your old plan. Get matched with a dentist who is ready to find a more practical path forward.
Our dentists are different
Our dentists aren’t the usual ones.
They read your name, your budget, your ‘I hate needles.’ They chose to message you because they want to help you – not because you walked in and paid..
They fit your mold as much as you fit theirs. They treat people, not slots.
So when you finally walk in, it doesn’t feel like starting over. It feels like they already know you.
Questions?
Is there a fee for patients?
No. MatchMyDentist is completely free for patients. Always. Your match is based purely on your needs and the dentist’s expertise, nothing else.
How long does it take to get matched?
Most matches arrive in 24 hours. We give dentists time to read your full story—simple cases often land same-day, complex ones up to 48 hours.
Will I always get matched with a dentist?
- there isn’t yet a dentist in your area who fits your needs
- your case requires a level of specialty care not currently available locally, or
- there’s a gap between the care needed and the budget shared.
Rather than setting you up for a frustrating appointment, we’ll let you know and notify you if a dentist who fits your criteria becomes available.
Do you accept HMO or Medicaid insurance?
What if I just need a cleaning?
MatchMyDentist is built for patients who have more than just a routine cleaning on their mind. While our dentists certainly handle cleanings, this platform is specifically for those who need a partner to navigate anxiety, complex treatment plans, or specific budget goals. If you have a “Real Story” to share, you’re in the right place. However, if you have no dental concerns and are strictly looking for a basic, routine cleaning with no other needs, booking directly with a local provider or your insurance list is usually the fastest path.
Why can’t I just choose a dentist from a list?
Because lists are part of the problem. They force you to do the “detective work” of calling, checking prices, and guessing fit. We keep our network private so dentists can review your situation first. That way, when you see a name, it’s not just a listing—it’s a dentist who has already reviewed your profile and chosen to help.
And if it’s not the right fit? No penalty. We simply match you again.
