The Real Problem No One Talks About
The problem with dental care isn’t you.
It’s not the dentist either.
It’s this: You’re both guessing.
You guess
Will they judge my budget?
Will they rush me?
Will they actually care?
They guess
Will this patient show up?
Will they move forward?
Can I meet their needs?
You hide your budget fears and past bad experiences.
They guard their time and wonder if you’ll actually show up.
And nothing ever lines up.
Let's flip it
Patients say what’s real. Dentists pick the ones they can actually help.
No more guessing on day one. No more hiding on either side. Just two people who already know enough about each other to say yes.
How This Started
While every other industry has been transformed by innovation, we still pick dentists like it’s 1999. Zip codes. Insurance filters. Star ratings that tell you nothing about whether someone actually gets you.
I’m a dentist. I saw this every day.
Great dentists buried on page 12 of Google. Patients settling for whoever’s closest. And on both sides, the same quiet frustration.
So I started paying attention to what people actually need. Not what a filter can find. The stuff no one asks out loud:
Will this dentist get why I’m shaking? Will they actually work within what I can pay? Will they treat me like a number — or like me?
None of that lives on Google or Yelp.
That’s why I built MatchMyDentist. To bring real connection back — before the first appointment.
