Toothlens

What Toothlens does

Toothlens is an India-based insurtech company building an AI-powered operating system for dental benefits. The platform is organized around three product lines: SmartCheck, which performs computer-vision-based risk assessment on dental photographs and X-rays to enable pre-policy underwriting; OlivePro, an automated clinical adjudication engine that applies India-specific clinical and policy rules (procedure-frequency caps, clinical-necessity validation, bundled-procedure unbundling, and provider-pattern outlier flagging) with sub-2-second average decision times; and Simmetry, a generative-AI smile simulator for dental providers. Together these products span the full dental insurance value chain from enrollment and pre-authorization through claims settlement.

The company serves four distinct customer segments: Indian health insurers and TPAs that lack dental-specific actuarial infrastructure; insurance brokers and employee-benefits platforms (Plum, Loop, Pazcare, Onsurity, PolicyBazaar, PhonePe, Qoala, and others) that distribute dental coverage as part of group benefits; corporate employers (Unilever is named) that offer dental wellness as part of employee benefits; and individual consumers who purchase retail dental OPD plans directly through toothlens.com and dental360.toothlens.com for cashless access at 1,500+ network clinics across 75+ Indian cities.

Toothlens generates revenue through four streams: SaaS licensing of platform capabilities (SmartCheck, OlivePro, network access) to insurers and brokers; API integration and one-time setup fees for white-label deployments; broker commissions on plans sold through partner channels; and subscription revenue from direct-to-consumer retail plans priced between ₹165/month (Preventive Care) and ₹855/month (Complete Care). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, a multi-partner channel network, an API-first integration model with 4-6 week typical implementation timelines, and DTC online sales. Founded in 2023 with a US registration in Middletown, Delaware and operations centered in Chennai, the company reports SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA compliance, and its flagship enterprise partnership with Star Health Insurance (announced March 2025, alongside broker Vizza Broking Services) launched India's first cashless dental OPD insurance product.

Revenue model

1. Platform/SaaS Licensing: Toothlens provides its dental benefits infrastructure (SmartCheck, OlivePro, dental network) to insurers and brokers on a licensing basis. Insurers pay to access AI underwriting tools, claims validation APIs, and the provider network without building from scratch.
2. API/Integration Services: Revenue from API integration fees for connecting Toothlens infrastructure into existing insurer and TPA core systems. Integration services with typical 4-6 week implementation timeline generate one-time setup revenue plus ongoing usage fees.
3. Broker Commission: Commission earned on every dental plan enrollment through broker and employee benefits platform partners. Brokers receive transparent commission on every plan sold with co-brand flexibility.
4. Retail Dental Plans: Direct-to-consumer dental OPD insurance plans sold to individuals and families. Plans range from ₹165/month (Preventive Care) to ₹855/month (Complete Care) with annual benefit limits up to ₹75,000.
