Frequently Asked Questions

The OralEye Dental Network is a community of like-minded dentists who are at the forefront of technology in dentistry. They provide remote consultations to patients who submit their cases through the Toothpic app on their phone by taking six curated, high resolution photographs of their teeth, mouth and gums. The OralEye Dental Network has taken the startup mentality of innovation to the world of dentistry.

For dentists, joining the OralEye Dental Network provides a new source of revenue in a flexible way. You can take on as many or as few cases as you like and conveniently provide consultations from your laptop or desktop computer. You are paid by direct transfer at the end of each month for the cases you review, providing an added monthly stream of income.

Patients benefit from a renewed engagement with their dental health.
