Patients Arrive Ready.

They found you because what you offer matched what they need.

They chose you because of how you responded.

They arrive already understanding how you can help.

We Reinvented the First Appointment.

For decades, the first appointment has been exactly that—the first time a dentist and patient truly get to know each other.

We thought that made no sense.

So we changed the sequence.

  1. Patient sharing their dental story and what matters before choosing a dentist

    Patients share what matters before choosing a dentist.

  2. Dentist reviewing a patient profile on a tablet

    You review their story and respond personally.

By the time a patient walks into your practice, the relationship has already begun.

You don’t meet as strangers.

You know why they reached out.
They know you already understand what matters most.

The conversation starts differently.

See their full story,
before they ever walk through your door.

You’ll see at a glance:

  • Why they’re looking now

    Understand their story, fears, and what’s been holding them back.

  • What they think they may need

    Treatment goals, concerns, and what matters most to them.

  • Insurance & timing

    Coverage details and how soon they’re ready to begin.

  • The kind of experience they’re hoping for

    Communication style, comfort preferences, and what helps them feel safe.

Sample patient profile

Illustrative example only. Real profiles vary by patient and include different details.

There’s more below the surface.

Each profile includes additional details, including budget expectations, anxiety triggers, communication preferences, and more.

PPO or Self-Pay Only

We currently match PPO and self-pay patients only. HMO, Medicaid, and Medicare are not accepted.

You decide who to reach out to.

If you believe you can help, they don’t need a sales pitch. They need to hear from you. Send a personalized message — or pass. It’s that simple.

They’ve shared their story

Reach out personally.

One message can change everything.

Every dentist wants patients to know they care. This is the first time patients can experience that before the visit — with a message starter built from their story, ready for you to make your own.

  • You read their full story first
  • A message starter is generated from what they shared
  • You review, edit, and approve the message before sending it

If they accept, the relationship begins before they ever walk through your door.

Illustrative example — on their phone, a personal introduction from you.

Your Next Patient Should Meet You.
Not Your Marketing.

Google rankings. Star ratings. Insurance filters. Ads. Location.

All of them help patients find a dentist.

But finding you is not the same as choosing you.

With MatchMyDentist, patients share their story first. You respond to it.

They don’t choose you because you appeared first. They choose you because of how you responded to what matters to them.

Getting started is simple.

You’ve seen the story. Here’s how to begin.

  1. Build your profile

    Cases you love, treatments you specialize in, patients you work best with.

  2. Receive patient introductions

    When a profile arrives, review their story and decide whether you want to respond — no marketplace browsing.

  3. Send one message

    Read their story. Review the message, make it your own, and send — or pass.

  4. They choose you

    If they accept, you connect directly. The relationship has already begun.

Review Up to 3 Patient Opportunities $1.

Trial capacity allows review of up to 3 Patient opportunities, subject to availability and Platform routing. The $1 fee is for Platform trial access, not for any individual Patient or Match.

Every introduction is a real person actively looking for dental care. Your next introduction could become a comprehensive case, a loyal long-term patient, or simply someone who finally found the right practice. There’s only one way to find out.

MatchMyDentist provides technology through which Patients and participating dentists independently decide whether to connect. Flat subscription. No per-Patient fees. No per-Match fees. We do not guarantee specific Patient volume, case types, appointments, or treatment values. Results vary by practice and location.
