Instant Dentist

Instant Dentist is a one-stop platform for dental health whose mission is to open up access to dental care by making it more affordable and transparent through technology. Instant Dentist was founded by entrepreneur duo Dr Aalok Y Shukla and Lucie Marchelot Shukla, who between them have 23 years of in-depth industry expertise.

Instant Dentist offers easy access to a trusted dentist and expert care online – regardless of a patient's location. Patients can obtain detailed advice on improving and maintaining their dental health without missing work or waiting around for an appointment.

The Instant Dentist app was created with input from world-class dentists to democratise access to dental care, making healthy teeth and gums accessible from the comfort of one's own home at an affordable price. By connecting with a trusted dentist via the app, an intermittent service has been changed into continuous, at-home care. Patients can take their dental health into their own hands and receive cost-effective, private dental advice and tailored at-home treatments in an instant.

Patients share specific photos and videos of their teeth and answer a detailed, yet quick, questionnaire, which is reviewed by a real dentist. Once completed, the consultation details are received onto a high-tech teledentistry platform and thoroughly analysed and reviewed by an expert digital dentist. Patients will receive a reply within 48 hours, and a comprehensive personalised analysis of their teeth, gums, enamel and overall smile. The ‘360 Smile Report' will help patients precisely understand their unique dental profile and needs. Following the initial consultation, the digital dentist will outline and recommend a specific professional strength regime to be followed at home to resolve symptoms or prevent future dental issues.

Instant Dentist is ideal for anyone who has a sudden or long-standing issue that they would like to discuss, or if they've recommended procedures with another dentist and would like a second opinion, or if they have a dental emergency and want some advice and reassurance in order to take the next step.
