Helping people navigate dental care to live healthier and happier lives

See the DenScore Difference

Need help with a toothache? Looking for a new dentist that you can trust? Questions about dental insurance?

Use our dental navigation application to help you make smarter decisions about any of your dental care needs. We also support these organizations in the following ways:

Carriers

DenScore's application enables carriers to provide a better customer experience to disadvantaged populations and members without a dental home.

Health Systems

Health systems use DenScore's application to minimize non-urgent dental related ER visits and reduce hospitalizations that are influenced by poor oral health.

Health Navigators

DenScore enables health navigation channel partners to provide clients with a dental point solution that will reduce costs and improve employee satisfaction.

Why DenScore and How Does it Work?

After practicing dentistry for 14 years, Dr. Gernhofer realized that consumers do not have the right information at their fingertips to make informed decisions about their dental care needs. As is the case with most healthcare professionals, dentists can vary substantially in how they diagnose and treat dental disease. This can lead to people receiving unnecessary, poor quality and impersonalized dental care. DenScore’s symptom checker provides users with guidance that they otherwise may not receive from a dentist, dental insurance plan or a Google search. By offering evidence-based feedback and personalized support, DenScore enables its users to receive the right dental care at the right time.
