Connect patients and dental students who need real cases
SmileMatch helps patients describe their needs and helps students find cases—under faculty supervision at accredited clinics.
The Problem
A broken system that fails both patients and students
Millions of patients can't afford dental care while dental students struggle to find cases. This mismatch costs everyone—students their graduation timeline, patients their oral health, and schools their clinic utilization.
High costs exclude millions
Private practice fees are prohibitive for uninsured and budget-conscious patients.
Students lose valuable time
Hours spent "hustling" for cases instead of learning and treating patients.
Poor matching systems
Word-of-mouth, flyers, and basic call centers yield inconsistent results.
SmileMatch bridges this gap by intelligently connecting patients with the right student providers.
