Our Mission: Dental Care When You Need It Most

EmergencyDental was founded on a simple belief — no one should suffer through a dental emergency without knowing where to turn. We connect patients with trusted, verified dental professionals around the clock.

Our Story

EmergencyDental was born out of a frustrating personal experience. Our founder, Marcus Lee, found himself in severe dental pain on a Sunday evening with no idea where to turn. After hours of frantic searching, he finally found a dentist — but the experience highlighted a critical gap in the healthcare system.

Together with Dr. Amanda Foster and Dr. Raj Patel, Marcus built EmergencyDental to be the resource he wished had existed. Since launching in 2019, we've helped over 2 million patients find emergency dental care quickly and confidently.

Today, our directory spans all 50 states with more than 5,000 verified dental providers. We continue to grow our network and improve our platform to ensure that when dental emergencies strike, help is always just a search away.
