Teledental

What Teledental does

Teledental, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Tustin, California, operates a virtual teledentistry platform (Teledental.com) that connects patients with licensed dentists via live video consultations available 24/7. Core service is a ~10-minute consultation priced at $50 per session, with an additional $20 fee when a dental antibiotic prescription is clinically indicated. The company has built a multi-platform network — DentalChat.com (flagship chat/consult platform), DentistList.com, and MapDentist.com — that collectively draw "millions of annual visitors" and provide top-of-funnel patient acquisition. Native iOS and Android apps extend booking and consultation access to mobile.

The platform layers AI capabilities on top of the human consultation flow: computer-vision analysis of dental imaging (bitewing, periapical, panoramic, cone-beam CT) for cavity detection, orthodontic/implant planning, and identification of abnormal tissues; AI chat/chatbots for triage, post-treatment education, and appointment scheduling; and predictive analytics on patient data. Teledental also serves a B2B audience, allowing dental practices and dental professionals to register as providers, expand geographic reach, and earn revenue-share from virtual visits conducted on the platform.

The business model blends transactional consumer revenue ($50 consult + $20 prescription add-on), B2B provider recruitment with revenue-sharing, and content/SEO-driven lead generation across the dental-platform portfolio. No revenue, headcount, funding rounds, or management roster are publicly disclosed; ownership is described as independent and dentist-founded, with no institutional investors identified. Geographic operation is primarily USA-constrained by the licensed-dentist footprint, although the website claims global reach and adjacent specialties such as sleep-wellness dentistry have been added to the product surface.
