The 'Problem'
picking dentists
Most people pick a dentist by who’s closest, who ranks highest on Google, who’s in their insurance directory, or who has the most 5-star reviews, not by who actually fits their needs.
And THEN you find out:
Here's How
It Works
1. POST YOUR STORY
Share your needs, fears, and budget anonymously (takes 5 minutes). We turn your answers into a private profile that local dentists review.
2. WE FIND THE ONE
Our proprietary Matching System identifies your single best match based on location, budget, and expertise. That dentist reviews your profile privately.
STEP 3. THEY REACH OUT, YOU DECIDE
If the dentist accepts your case, they send you a personalized message explaining how they can help. Review their profile and message—you stay anonymous until you’re ready to connect. If the fit doesn’t feel right, you can decline and request a new match at any time.

We Take Your Budget Seriously
You share your budget range anonymously. Your matched dentist reviews it before ever reaching out. If they contact you, it means they’ve already determined your goals and budget are a fit. While the final clinical plan depends on your exam, the “money talk” is already behind you.
What happens at the visit:
The exam confirms the clinical details. Then, you and your dentist discuss options that work—whether that’s phasing the treatment or exploring alternatives.
No walking in blind.
No budget surprises.
No high-pressure sales pitches.
REAL STORIES FROM
REAL PATIENTS
“I avoided the dentist for years because of my anxiety and my budget. With MatchMyDentist, I didn’t have to ‘explain’ myself over and over. By the time I walked in, the dentist had already reviewed my profile and agreed to work with my fears and my finances. There were no surprises. I finally felt in control.”
Sara L. (Sarasota)
“I’m on a fixed income and I don’t have time for the runaround. Usually, you go in for a ‘free’ exam and walk out with a $15,000 bill. My dentist called me after seeing my profile and said he could work with my budget. I had my appointment and will confidently say that he is a man who kept his word.”
Edward T. (Miami)

FAQS
Is there a fee for patients?
Never. We believe finding the right dental care shouldn’t cost you a dime. Our partner dentists cover the cost of the platform because it helps them find patients whose needs and budgets align perfectly with their expertise and preferences. You get the care you need, and they get a patient they want to serve—it’s a win-win.
How long does it take to get matched?
We prioritize precision over speed. Most matches are finalized within 3 to 24 hours. This window allows a busy dentist to personally sit down and carefully review your profile, budget, and clinical needs. By the time you hear from them, they’ve already determined they are a fit for your specific situation. For complex cases, this deliberate matching process can take up to 48 hours.
Will I always get matched with a dentist?
We focus on quality matches, not just any match. While most patients find a connection quickly, we only pair you with a dentist who is truly confident they can meet your specific budget and clinical goals.
If a match doesn’t happen immediately, it’s usually for one of three reasons:
- Market Expansion: We are still growing our network in your specific zip code.
- Specialization: Your case requires a level of specialty care not currently available in our local network.
- Alignment: There is a significant gap between the clinical needs and the budget provided.
Our Approach: We won’t set you up for a frustrating appointment. If we can’t find an immediate match, we’ll let you know and give you the option to join our waiting list until a provider who fits your needs joins the network.
Do you accept HMO or Medicaid insurance?
MatchMyDentist is optimized for PPO and private-pay patients. Because we prioritize a dentist’s ability to work within your specific budget and needs, we do not currently support HMO or Medicaid plans, which have rigid, pre-set restrictions that prevent personalized matching.
What if I just need a cleaning?
You are welcome to use our system for any dental need, but our platform is specifically built for restorative and goal-oriented care. Because our process involves a personal review of your budget and clinical goals by a dentist, it is most valuable for patients with specific concerns, second opinions, or complex treatment plans.
Why can’t I just choose a dentist from a list?
Because lists are part of the problem. They force you to do the “detective work” of calling, checking prices, and guessing the vibe. We keep our network private so that the dentist can do the work of reviewing your situation first. This ensures that when you finally see a name, it’s not just a listing, it’s a dentist who has already reviewed your profile and expressed interest in helping you.
Carol H.
Sarasota, Fl
“I hadn’t been in 8 years. I was terrified. I told them about my fear of needles and my $2,000 budget. One dentist read my profile and said, ‘I can help. We’ll go at your pace, and we can start within your budget.’
I cried. No one has ever said that to me before.”
