1-800-DENTIST

1-800-DENTIST is a prominent and long-standing national dental referral service, established in 1986. It functions as a crucial intermediary, connecting individuals seeking dental care with a vast network of pre-screened dentists across the United States. The service is renowned for its iconic toll-free number, 1-800-DENTIST, which has become synonymous with finding a dentist quickly and efficiently. The core of 1-800-DENTIST's offering is its 24/7 live call center, where rigorously trained agents assist callers in finding a dentist based on various factors such as location, specific treatment needs (e.g., emergency care, cleanings, braces, dentures), scheduling preferences, and payment methods. In addition to phone services, the company also provides online tools and directories to facilitate patient-dentist matching. While widely recognized for its patient referral program, 1-800-DENTIST is a flagship brand of Futuredontics, a comprehensive dental marketing and software solutions company. Futuredontics aims to help dental practices thrive by offering a full suite of services beyond just new patient leads. These include PatientActivator (for patient communication and online marketing), WebDirector (dental website services), ReputationMonitor (online reputation management), and ReActivation Pro (for reactivating dormant patients). This broader scope under Futuredontics allows dental practices to manage various aspects of their business, from attracting new patients to retaining existing ones and enhancing their online presence. Over its decades of operation, 1-800-DENTIST has successfully connected millions of patients with dental care providers and has been featured on major media outlets. The company's business model revolves around generating qualified patient leads for its member dentists, aiming to keep dental practices' schedules full. They have continuously evolved their services to adapt to the changing digital landscape and consumer behavior, incorporating online platforms and digital marketing tools to complement their traditional phone-based referral system.
