What DentistFind.com does

DentistFind.com is an online dental appointment-booking marketplace founded in 2010 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The platform connects patients seeking dental care with approximately 1,000+ dental practices across ten cities spanning Canada and the United States, including Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Montreal, North York, Richmond Hill, Victoria, and Atlanta. Patients use the website to specify their service needs and location, receive dentist matches, confirm appointments via text message reply, and get appointment reminders before walking into the office. On the supply side, dental offices self-register through the platform's "Claim your office" flow to be discoverable to prospective patients.

The core product is the DentistFind web platform, which handles the end-to-end booking workflow from search and matching through confirmation and reminder notifications. The underlying technology is not publicly disclosed, and no proprietary AI, machine learning, API, or mobile application capabilities are offered. The platform relies on city-specific SEO landing pages, featured office profiles, and patient testimonials displayed on the website as its primary discovery and trust-building mechanisms. There are no patents, trademarks, regulatory certifications, or third-party integrations disclosed.

DentistFind operates on a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with self-serve onboarding for both patients and dental offices. Revenue appears to be generated through transaction or commission-based fees paid by dental offices participating on the platform, although specific pricing, contract terms, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held under the legal entity DentistFind, Inc., with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity. It is led by founder and CEO Sharky Liu and operates with a small team of 1–10 employees, consistent with a lean lifestyle or small-business operating profile.

Core offering

DentistFind.com is an online marketplace that connects patients with dental offices and books appointments on their behalf. Patients specify the dental service they need and their city, the platform matches them with one of approximately 1000+ listed dentists, sends a text message confirmation request, and delivers appointment reminders so the patient simply walks in. Dental practices register their offices through the platform to receive pre-booked patient appointments.

Product overview

DentistFind is a single unified platform that provides a dental appointment booking marketplace. The core product is the DentistFind platform itself, which connects patients seeking dental services with approximately 1000+ dental offices across multiple cities (Atlanta, Brampton, Edmonton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Montreal, North York, Richmond Hill, Toronto, Victoria). The platform handles the entire booking workflow: users submit their service needs and location, the platform matches them with appropriate dentists, sends confirmation requests via text, and delivers appointment reminders. No separate modules or add-on products are offered.

Direct peers

• Zocdoc: Zocdoc is a large online medical and dental appointment-booking marketplace where patients search by location/insurance and book directly. It is the most direct functional peer to DentistFind's city- and specialty-based booking model.
• Opencare: Opencare is a Canadian dental and medical appointment-booking marketplace headquartered in Toronto. As a same-geography, same-vertical marketplace/referral platform, it is arguably DentistFind's closest direct competitor.
• 1-800-DENTIST: 1-800-DENTIST is one of the original dentist-referral services, matching patients with local dentists via a phone and web funnel. It competes in the same dentist-discovery/lead-gen space as DentistFind.
• LocalMed: LocalMed (acquired by PatientPop/Tebra) provides online real-time scheduling for dental practices — letting patients book directly into a dentist's calendar, mirroring DentistFind's booking flow.
• Doctor.com: Doctor.com provides provider profiles, directories, and online scheduling across medical and dental specialties. It competes with DentistFind on the patient-discovery side of the funnel.
• Curve Dental: Curve Dental is a cloud-based practice-management system for dental offices that includes online booking and patient communication features, putting it in direct competition with the dentist-facing side of DentistFind.

Emerging players

• CareCru: CareCru is a Canadian practice-management and patient-communication platform purpose-built for dental offices. It overlaps with DentistFind on patient acquisition and appointment reminders, but goes deeper into in-practice workflows.

Broad incumbents

• PatientPop (Tebra): PatientPop (now part of Tebra) is a broader practice-growth platform for medical and dental providers with online scheduling, reputation, and website features. It overlaps with DentistFind on booking while extending into a full practice-marketing suite.
• Healthgrades: Healthgrades is a large, incumbent healthcare-provider directory with millions of monthly visitors, listing dentists and physicians. It competes for the patient-discovery traffic that DentistFind captures via city-based SEO pages.

Others

• Yelp: Yelp is a general-purpose local business directory that surfaces dentist listings via SEO and user reviews. It is not a direct dental-booking competitor but functions as an adjacent discovery surface that competes for the same top-of-funnel patient searches.
