Problem
General dentists often rely on insecure email or fax to share patient records, insurance details, and radiographs with specialty dental offices, leading to delays, data breaches, and coordination challenges in patient care.
Solution
ToothDoc provides a secure, web‑based referral platform that lets general dentists transmit complete patient information—including demographics, insurance data, and X‑ray images—to specialty practices in a single, encrypted workflow. The system allows referring providers to specify follow‑up needs, urgency, and custom notes for each case, ensuring the receiving office has all necessary context. Recipients can download attachments directly, streamlining scheduling and treatment planning for procedures such as crown deliveries. By centralizing referral communication, ToothDoc reduces administrative overhead, minimizes errors, and accelerates coordinated dental care.
Target Audience
Primary users are general dentists and their office staff who need to refer patients to specialty dental practices, as well as specialty dentists who receive and manage incoming referrals.
