About Torch Dental

Torch Dental is a high-growth startup on a mission to empower healthcare providers starting with the $100B+ dental market. Our core product is a dental supply Marketplace that modernizes dental supply procurement with transparent pricing and a seamless online purchasing experience across thousands of dental practices. We’re now building an AI Revenue Cycle Management solution to transform how dental practices get paid. Insurance claims today involve significant manual work across follow up, payment posting, and reconciliation. We believe much of that work can be automated, and we’re building the product to make that possible.

Torch has raised $50M+ from premier investors like Bessemer Venture Partners, American Express, Health Velocity Capital and Felicis. We are a mission-driven team dedicated to solving tangible problems for small business owners. We prioritize customer obsession and a bias for action, fostering a collaborative culture where every professional is encouraged to take ownership and deliver meaningful impact.
