SaaS-based Dental Care Startup SmileSnap Announces Seed Financing

Did you ever imagine that a mobile app like SmileSnap could assess your smile and oral hygiene?

Well, it’s yet to be built, but we’re inching closer to realizing that dental dream. Thanks to an orthodontal startup based out of Denver, USA. SmileSnap, a SaaS-based teledentistry startup has raised its seed financing from renowned investors in the healthcare sector. The company provides a unique orthodontic virtual consultation app for fixing appointments and online meetings.

With its latest financing round, the hot startup is expected to bring smiles to thousands of dentists, general physicians, and oral cosmetic surgeons. Jameson Stafford, Co-Founder and CTO has also confirmed that it’s eyeing an immediate Series A funding round in 2020.

At the time of this announcement, Greg Pellegom, Co-Founder and CEO of SmileSnap said, “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.”

The SmileSnap CTO added, “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.”

SmileSnap would use the new capital to further develop its mobile app product and grow its market share in this rapidly emerging sector of dentistry.

Greg added, “The pace of growth we’ve experienced this year is truly incredible and we believe our trajectory will continue well into 2021.”

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.

The Denver, US-based startup was founded in 2018 by Greg Pellegrom, CEO, a 17-year veteran in dental and orthodontic sales, together with Jameson Stafford, CTO, who most recently served as VP of Corporate Development at Catalytic, Inc, a SaaS automation platform which has raised over $50m in capital from investors including Intel Capital and NEA.

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.

With the launch of SmileSnap PRO, the company aims to reach an additional 10,000 dental professionals within the next 18 months.
