We started Dental Square to help patients make informed dental decisions and save thousands by comparing multiple treatment plans. Despite offering free exams with X-rays and 3D scans, many don’t take advantage, often overpaying or getting unnecessary treatments.
One patient seeking All-on-Four implants received quotes of $66,000 and $30,000—a $36,000 difference simply by comparing options. Our goal is to automate this process using AI, making price transparency effortless. Support us! Follow @by.dentalsquare and help bring affordable dental care nationwide! 🚀

We’re a husband-and-wife team—a businessman and a dentist—who started Dental Square with a simple mission: To educate patients about their dental health before they make a treatment decision—helping them save thousands of dollars in the process.
But changing people’s habits hasn’t been easy.
We’ve offered free or low-cost dental exams, yet very few have taken advantage of them. At one point, we set up a free 10-minute dental exam station—complete with X-rays and 3D scans—inside a busy mall, right next to a rest area. Husbands would sit there waiting while their wives spent hours shopping. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to help them use their time wisely.
Convincing them? A whole different story. Despite pouring our hearts into explaining the benefits, not a single person took the offer for a free exam.
After running two dental offices for over a decade, we’ve seen how many patients overpay for dental treatments, get unnecessary procedures, or unknowingly receive treatment from dentists experimenting with techniques they’ve never done before. Let's get it out there; not all dentists are bad—but not all are the right fit for every procedure.
And that’s exactly why we felt that the patients need a service like Dental Square.
Our goal was to provide free or low-cost exams to patients. Thanks to advances in technology, X-rays and 3D scans are now portable, so we bring them directly to corporate offices and public spaces—making dental checkups more accessible than ever.
This allows patients to:
✔️ Understand their dental health before committing to costly treatments.
✔️ Compare multiple treatment options and pricing before making a decision.
✔️ Avoid unnecessary procedures that some dentists might recommend.
We know many people already have trusted dentists, but that doesn’t always mean:
❌ The recommended treatment is the best option for their needs.
❌ All dentists are skilled in every procedure.
❌ Prices can vary wildly depending on experience, overhead costs, and even location
At Dental Square, we put patients back in control by:
✅ Providing one exam that can be shared with multiple dentists.
✅ Allowing patients to receive different treatment plans and price quotes.
✅ Saving patients money—even if they have insurance—just by getting a second opinion.
Yes, you read that right. $36,000.
A patient came to us looking for a full-mouth "All-on-Four" dental implant procedure—a treatment that typically costs over $50,000.
By consulting multiple specialists through Dental Square, here’s what happened:
🔹 One dentist quoted $66,000.
🔹 Another, equally skilled, quoted $30,000.
Why such a huge difference?
It wasn’t that one dentist was overcharging or the other was underbidding. Both were experienced and highly qualified, whom we've worked together for many years. But the $30,000 dentist owned his own dental lab—which eliminated lab fees that can range from $10,000 to $20,000.
Because of Dental Square, this patient was able to:
✅ Find a dentist equally skilled for less than half the price.
✅ Afford a life-changing procedure that might have otherwise been out of reach.
This experience reinforced our belief that services like Dental Square are not just helpful—they’re essential for patients.
Right now, our process is still manual and time-consuming, but we’re working to automate and streamline everything with AI to provide faster, more efficient results.
However, before we invest in automation, we need to understand exactly what patients want.
We’ve learned that:
🔹 Offering something for free doesn’t always attract interest.
🔹 Convenience alone isn’t always enough to get people to take action.
