Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Shield is a dental practice management and staffing platform that connects dental practices with verified dental professionals for coverage shifts, automates insurance verification, manages insurance claims, and helps grow practices through patient referrals - all in one system.

Dental Shield is designed for dental practice owners, office managers, and front-desk staff who need dependable staffing coverage and want to reduce administrative work around insurance verification and claims. It also serves dental hygienists looking for coverage shifts.

Dental Shield offers three pricing plans: Starter (free), Growth (starting at $149/month), and Pro (starting at $249/month). The Starter plan gives practices access to the platform's core tools, while Growth and Pro unlock more advanced staffing, insurance verification, claims, and referral capabilities as practices scale.

Yes, Dental Shield's Starter plan is free to join, so practices can start using the core staffing, insurance verification, and referral tools at no cost before upgrading to Growth ($149/month) or Pro ($249/month) as their needs grow.

Dental Shield differs from a traditional dental staffing agency by combining staffing, insurance verification, claims management, and patient referrals into one platform, instead of requiring practices to use separate tools or agencies for each need.

Dental Shield lets dental practices post open coverage shifts and connect directly with qualified, verified dental hygienists and other dental professionals available to fill them, without going through a traditional staffing agency.

Yes, every dental professional on Dental Shield goes through the platform's verification process before connecting with practices, so practices know who they're bringing into their office.

Yes, Dental Shield supports both short-notice and planned coverage shifts, helping practices fill staffing gaps from absences, leave, or busy periods without disrupting patient care.

No, Dental Shield uses a flexible, shift-based staffing model rather than long-term staffing contracts, so practices only book coverage when they need it.

Yes, dental hygienists can browse available coverage shifts posted by verified practices and choose the ones that fit their schedule and location.

Automated dental insurance verification is the process of electronically checking a patient's insurance eligibility and benefits, and Dental Shield handles this automatically so front-desk staff don't have to call payers or log into multiple insurance portals.

Insurance verification through Dental Shield saves time by removing manual, repetitive front-desk work, reducing data-entry errors, and freeing staff to focus on patients instead of phone calls and portal lookups.

Yes, Dental Shield verifies patient insurance coverage ahead of the appointment, so practices and patients both know what to expect before the visit.

Yes, Dental Shield includes built-in tools for managing and tracking dental insurance claims within the same platform used for staffing and insurance verification.

Yes, keeping claims management, insurance verification, and staffing in one platform reduces paperwork by eliminating duplicate data entry across multiple systems.

Dental Shield includes built-in patient referral tools that help dental practices generate and track new patient referrals, turning practice growth into a more systematic, repeatable process.

Yes, the patient referral tools are available even on the free Starter plan, helping practices of any size - including new practices - build a steady stream of referred patients from day one.

Signing up for Dental Shield starts with the free Starter plan - practices create a profile on the platform to start accessing staffing, insurance verification, claims, and referral tools, and can upgrade to Growth or Pro anytime.

No, Dental Shield works as a standalone platform you access directly, so practices don't need to install new hardware or replace existing systems to get started.

Yes, because Dental Shield's Starter plan is free and shift-based rather than contract-based, it's accessible to dental practices of any size, including solo and small practices, with Growth and Pro available as they scale.
