DentalFynd (Formerly Ilekun Health)

What DentalFynd (Formerly Ilekun Health) does

DentalFynd (legal entity: Ilekun Health, Inc., Delaware) is a healthcare marketplace platform that connects uninsured and underinsured patients with fee-for-service dentists through transparent upfront pricing and prepaid appointments. The platform is built on an AI-powered intelligent matching system and a proprietary quality scoring framework that ranks providers (e.g., Overall Quality Scores such as 9.6/10 and 10/10), and it handles the full transaction stack from search to Stripe-backed payment settlement. Founded in 2020 by Tobi Bosede, an applied mathematician and ML architect with prior production roles at Capital One and JPMorgan Chase, the company is headquartered in New York City and lists more than 6,200 dentists, with visible expansion into Seattle and additional metropolitan markets on the roadmap.

The company's product surface spans two-sided offerings. On the patient side, DentalFynd sells subscription dental plans (Basic at $21/month with two free cleanings and 15% off; Premium at $41/month with deep cleanings) alongside prepaid appointment bookings. On the provider side, dentists pay a one-time $497 listing fee to receive a DentalFynd-enabled booking widget on their own site, or $450/month for unlimited prepaid bookings under a NYC-specific plan. Distribution relies on a self-serve consumer website, a sales-led motion targeting independent fee-for-service practices, and a partnership network that includes the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, Justworks, NYU College of Dentistry, and Feno. A mobile app is in development, and the company also pursues non-dilutive funding via NIH/NIDCR SBIR grants with NYU as a research collaborator.

From a revenue mechanics standpoint, DentalFynd combines subscription revenue (patient plans and NYC provider unlimited bookings), one-time listing fees, transaction-based processing income, and NIH SBIR grant support. Its primary customer segments are uninsured/underinsured adults on the demand side and independent fee-for-service dentists on the supply side, with secondary targets including PPO-reducing practices and multi-location groups. The company does not disclose revenue, has no institutional venture funding rounds publicly announced, and operates with 1-10 employees, placing it firmly in early-stage territory with research-validated credibility but limited commercial scale.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• SmileDirectClub: SmileDirectClub pioneered direct-to-consumer orthodontics with transparent pricing and bypassed in-office visits. It is comparable to DentalFynd in bypassing traditional dental insurance/administrative overhead but operates in orthodontics specifically.
• Brighter.com: Brighter offers dental savings plans sold direct to consumers and to employers as a benefits alternative. It overlaps with DentalFynd's Basic/Premium subscription plans addressing uninsured consumers seeking affordable dental care.
• Quip: Quip started as a D2C electric toothbrush brand and has expanded into dental care subscription and teledentistry. It is an adjacent competitor overlapping on consumer dental subscription and at-home dental care products.

Direct peers

• 1-800-Dentist: 1-800-Dentist (now Dentist Referral Service) is a dental referral network connecting patients to local dentists via phone and online. Its former CEO Fred Joyal is a DentalFynd advisor, and the model overlaps on patient-to-dentist matching.
• Sesame Care: Sesame is a marketplace for direct-pay healthcare with transparent upfront pricing across multiple specialties. It shares DentalFynd's core thesis of bypassing insurance and offering self-pay patients transparent, bookable care.
• Solv Health: Solv is a healthcare appointment-booking marketplace with same-day care focus and transparent pricing. It overlaps with DentalFynd on the transparent upfront pricing and online booking thesis, with adjacent rather than overlapping dental focus.
• ZocDoc: ZocDoc is the leading online medical/dental appointment booking marketplace with provider reviews and insurance filtering. It directly competes with DentalFynd on online dentist discovery and booking, though it operates at much larger scale across multiple specialties.
• Opencare: Opencare is a dental marketplace and booking platform that connects patients with vetted dentists and offers curated treatment plans. It is the most direct head-to-head competitor to DentalFynd on patient-dentist matching with quality curation.

Broad incumbents

• Henry Schein One: Henry Schein One provides practice management, marketing, and patient communication software to dental practices. It serves DentalFynd's same provider base (independent dentists) with a much broader software portfolio.
• Careington International: Careington is an established dental discount plan operator offering reduced-fee dental networks. Comparable to DentalFynd's membership-plan angle for price-sensitive patients, but operates as a legacy incumbent at much larger scale.
