What Toothy AI does

We’re Toothy.ai. We’re building AI agents for dental practices that handle everything related to patient insurance. The average dental clinic spends over 160 hours a month on insurance tasks like verifying patient policies, billing, and claims processing. Our AI agents automate this entire workflow - including making insurance calls with voice AI - saving clinics time, reducing costs, and ensuring faster reimbursements.
