London-based Toothfairy, the dental video-calling app founded by dentists, has raised $10M (≈€8.4M) to expand access to remote dental care.
The round was led by LBO France, with participation from CRB Health Tech SGEIC and Portfolio Ventures, alongside renewed backing from Slingshot Ventures, Ada Ventures, and Haatch.
Putting a dentist in every pocket
Founded in 2019 by Dr. Deepak Aulak and Dr. Kian Dhinsa, Toothfairy connects patients directly with UK-licensed dentists for on-demand consultations, cosmetic advice, prescriptions, pain management, and orthodontic monitoring. The app also supports facial aesthetics and remote progress tracking for braces.
Approved by UK healthcare regulators, the company’s patent-pending technology enables secure diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring, while updating medical records digitally. All consultations are handled by UK General Dental Council-licensed dentists, who are indemnified and undergo regular audits.

The model addresses long-standing challenges in NHS dentistry, where patients often face long waits, limited access, and rising treatment costs. By shifting consultations online, Toothfairy aims to support prevention, early detection, and continuous care.
Investor confidence
“Toothfairy has already achieved millions in revenue and reached profitability, but our ambitions go far beyond financial success,” the company said in a statement. “With this funding, our mission to put a dentist in everyone’s pocket is stronger than ever.”
