Company profile
researched Aug 2026Toothio operates a labor marketplace for the dental industry, connecting credentialed dental professionals — hygienists, dental assistants and front-office receptionists — with dental practices and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) that need temporary or permanent coverage. Practices register on the platform, post a shift, and Toothio handles sourcing and vetting of the professional who fills it. On the worker side, the platform offers a job board where dental professionals select shifts by location and schedule, with same-day payment for completed work.
The company positions itself against traditional dental temp agencies by emphasizing a self-serve posting workflow and pre-vetted supply, covering both temporary shift work and permanent placement. Its stated mission is to reduce the staffing shortages faced by dental offices so practices can maintain office production and patient capacity.
Business model
Toothio runs a two-sided marketplace: dental practices and DSOs post open shifts or permanent roles, and vetted dental professionals in Toothio's network claim the work. The company vets and credentials the professional supply side and manages the fulfillment process for practices, with workers paid the same day a shift is completed.
Revenue is generated from dental practices and DSOs that use the platform to fill temporary shifts and permanent roles; the company reported more than doubling revenue between founding and August 2023.
Traction
The company states that more than 90,000 vetted dental professionals have joined its network, including roughly 29,818 dental hygienists, 39,758 dental assistants and 29,820 dental receptionists. As of August 2023 it reported thousands of completed shifts, a 97% fill rate and revenue that had more than doubled since founding.
Latest developments
In August 2023 Toothio announced a $4 million seed round led by Craft Ventures with participation from Burst Capital, Moving Capital, Revere Partners and Rho Capital Partners, appointed Keith Clements as chief commercial officer, and said it planned to enter additional U.S. markets by the end of 2023 while hiring for sales and partnership roles.

Market position
Toothio competes with dental temporary staffing agencies, differentiating on a technology-driven booking experience for practices and pre-vetted supply. Investors framed the opportunity around post-pandemic dental labor shortages and rising demand for dental services.
Toothio contrasts itself with conventional dental temp agencies by offering an online workflow in which a practice signs up and posts a shift while the platform handles vetting and fulfillment, and by giving professionals control over when and where they work plus same-day pay.
Technology
A web-based staffing platform with a searchable job board, shift posting for practices, professional profiles showing experience, completed shifts, ratings and certifications, and same-day payments to workers.
Go-to-market
The company acquires practices through direct sales and self-serve shift posting on its website, and recruits professionals through an open job board. Following its 2023 seed round it added a chief commercial officer with DSO sales experience and expanded its sales and partnership hiring to reach practices and DSO accounts.
