Smile assessment startup announces seed round

Denver-based SmileSnap , a virtual consultation and appointments SaaS platform for dentists and orthodontists, announced it has closed a seed financing round.

Since launching in April of 2019, SmileSnap’s SaaS software has been installed by nearly 1,500 dentists and orthodontists and managed nearly 40,000 virtual new patient consultations and 200,000 doctor/patient communications.

“Virtual consultations and appointments are becoming the new normal for dental practices. Convenience wins patients and practices that embrace virtual practice software have a direct competitive advantage over those that don’t. This capital allows us to further develop our product and grow our market share in this rapidly emerging sector of dentistry. The pace of growth we’ve experienced this year is truly incredible and we believe our trajectory will continue well into 2021.” – Co-founder and CEO of SmileSnap, Greg Pellegom, a 17-year veteran in dental and orthodontic sales.

Last week, SmileSnap launched SmileSnap PRO, a higher tier application that provides dental professionals the ability to continue providing care to existing patients beyond the initial consultation. SmileSnap PRO adds live video consultations and appointments as well as a web portal for patients to securely interact with the dentist online.

“SmileSnap wants to change the way in which patients engage and communicate with dental or orthodontic professionals, thus improving the lives of doctors, treatment coordinators, practice staff, and their patients. We have a great team, very strong product-market fit, knowledge of the space, and the support of key opinion leaders. Our ambition is as great as the company’s potential, and with this funding round and our subsequent Series A, we intend to deeply change the dental sector – to provide access to oral healthcare from anywhere.” – Jameson Stafford, co-founder and CTO.
