Toothio Expands to Six New U.S. Markets, Backed by New $5M Fundraise

Expanding Access to On-Demand Dental Staffing

Toothio is thrilled to announce our expansion into six new U.S. markets, bringing our on-demand staffing platform to dental practices and professionals in Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, and Orlando. This expansion supports thousands of additional dental offices, Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), and dental professionals in finding a more efficient, flexible approach to staffing.

Our platform is designed to address one of the industry’s most significant pain points—staffing shortages. With 95% of dentists reporting challenges in hiring qualified hygienists and office staff, the demand for reliable, adaptable staffing solutions has only intensified. Toothio is here to bridge this gap with our vetted network of over 30,000 skilled dental professionals, enabling practices to fill shifts with ease, while giving professionals flexibility in their work schedules.  

“With dental offices across the country struggling to maintain full staffing levels, we're here to ensure both patient care and office efficiency are optimized,” said Ian Prendergast, co-founder and CEO of Toothio. “This additional capital will help us further expand the reach of our platform, delivering seamless, on-demand staffing solutions for dental offices across the country—while empowering staff through a more flexible model of work.”

A $5M Boost to Power Growth and Innovation

In tandem, we’re also excited to announce an additional $5 million in financing led by nvp capital and Craft Ventures, with participation from Rho Capital, Marketplace Capital, and others. This funding will fuel further growth and enable us to continue improving our technology and customer experience. With this capital, we’ll focus on expanding our reach, enhancing our matching algorithm, and maintaining our industry-leading 97% fill rate for open shifts.

“Toothio’s rapid expansion is a testament to their deep understanding of the dental industry's staffing challenges and their innovative solution,” said Vaughn Crowe, Managing Partner at nvp capital. “With this latest round, we’re confident Toothio will continue to scale and set the standard for dental staffing in 2025 and beyond. We’re proud to partner with them on this exciting journey.”

The past year has been full of tremendous growth for Toothio. In 2024 alone, we added over 15,000 dental professionals to our platform and filled thousands of open shifts nationwide—a 300% increase year-over-year. Our proprietary matching algorithm has set us apart, allowing us to provide both practices and professionals with a reliable, efficient staffing solution that makes a real difference in their daily operations.

Jonathan Beda, Managing Partner at Connexa Capital, echoed these sentiments, saying, “Toothio’s best-in-class retention among dental professionals and dental practices on the platform reflects the company’s incredibly effective matching algorithm and management’s deep understanding of its users’ needs.”
