The Process
Three simple steps to get matched with the right dental provider — no guesswork required.
Completely free for you
There are no fees, no hidden costs, and no upsells. The clinic we match you with pays a referral fee — so we only succeed when you're happy with your match.
No strings attached
You're never locked in. If the match doesn't feel right, you walk away — no obligation, no awkward conversations.
How Much Does It Cost
The clinic I match you with covers my fee — which means I only get paid when I make a great match. No match, no fee. It’s that simple.
We vet every clinic personally
We evaluate the skillsets, tools, and treatment philosophy of every clinic - matching you with a clinician who aligns with your specific needs.
Matched to your priorities
Every recommendation is shaped by what matters most to you — not what's most convenient for us.
One recommendation. The right one.
One clinic. A clear explanation of why they're right for you. Move forward with confidence.

What our patients say
“I was handed a treatment plan for over $8,000 for crowns and had no idea whether any of it was necessary. I reached out to Taproot Dental, and within a week had a recommendation for a clinic that scaled back the plan significantly and explained everything clearly. I wish I'd found this service sooner.”
Evevlyn J.
Toronto
“I needed implants and got quoted $5500 per tooth. I knew there had to be a better option but had no idea where to start looking or who to trust. Taproot matched me with a clinic abroad with the same technology and credentials as my local options — at a fraction of the cost. Taproot made me feel completely confident in my decision before I ever booked a flight. Best dental decision I've ever made.”
Nick C.
Calgary
“I needed a full set of veneers and had been quoted wildly different prices at three different clinics with no explanation for the difference. Taproot cut through the noise, explained what I should actually be paying for, and matched me with a clinic whose work I'm genuinely proud of. I finally feel like someone was on my side.”

FAQFrequently asked questions
Taproot Dental is a dental patient advocacy service founded by a former practicing dentist. We help you navigate the dental world by matching you with the clinic that's best qualified to handle your specific needs, based on their training, equipment, experience, and approach. Think of it as having an industry insider in your corner, guiding you every step of the way.
To be the personal dental advocate that patients never had access to. Most people make dental decisions with almost no information — they pick whoever's closest, accept whatever treatment plan they're handed, and hope for the best. Taproot exists to change that. We give you a trained pair of eyes, honest guidance, and a match that actually fits your situation.
Taproot is for anyone facing a significant dental decision. That includes patients who just received an expensive or complex treatment plan and aren't sure whether to proceed, patients looking for a clinic with specific technology or expertise, and patients who want to make sure they're getting fair value for a particular procedure. If you're unsure where to start, that's exactly what we're here for.
Choose your area of concern, answer a few quick questions, and we'll take it from there. We'll have a conversation to understand what matters most to you — whether that's the best possible outcome, best value, a specific technology, or how far you're willing to travel. We then reach out to clinics to evaluate their training, equipment, skillset, and methods. Within approximately one week, we'll come back to you with a matched recommendation and explain exactly why that clinic is the right fit for your needs.
Nothing. The clinic we match you with covers our fee. That means you get the full benefit of a decade of clinical expertise and personalized matching at no cost to you.
Fair question. The clinic only covers our fee if we make a successful match. We have no incentive to send you somewhere that isn't genuinely right for you, because a bad match means no fee and no repeat referrals. Our entire business depends on getting it right every time.
We're currently based in Canada and are actively expanding. We apply the same matching process regardless of where you're located — if you're outside Canada, reach out and we'll do our best to help.
No. Taproot Dental is a patient advocacy and matching service, not a clinical service. Our founder is a former dentist, not a currently practicing one. We do not examine, diagnose, or treat patients, and we do not create a dentist-patient relationship. Our role is to help you find the right licensed professional for your needs. Please consult a currently licensed dentist or physician for any clinical concerns.
Your privacy is important to us. Any information you share through our form is used solely for the purpose of matching you with the right provider. We do not sell or share your data with third parties outside of the matching process. For full details, please review our Privacy Policy.
