PlusDental digitises the dental correction process and produces clear aligners in its own Berlin dental laboratory under the supervision of master dental technicians. Its self-developed digital dentistry platform handles appointments, treatment planning, follow-up checks and billing. The company works with around 200 dental practices across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Sweden and has treated more than 35,000 patients. By the end of the year the partner network is expected to grow to more than 500 practices. PlusDental says digitisation has reduced treatment costs by up to 60% and aims to make tooth straightening affordable. It already operates in eight European countries and plans to accelerate growth in Spain, France and the UK, launch in Italy, Belgium and Denmark in the next weeks, and expand into China this year. With total investment close to €100 million, the company positions itself among Germany’s most funded medtechs. PlusDental is a Berlin-based telemedicine dental startup that sells sets of transparent splints for teeth straightening. Founded in 2017 and formerly known as Sunshine Smile, it originally relied on home impressions but in 2019 shifted to referring customers to partner dental practices for oral scans. The company conducts follow-up check-ups remotely and uses an app to remind patients to change splints and upload control photos for dentist review. PlusDental works with more than 70 partner practices across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, and Spain, and employs about 200 people. Management says it plans to broaden its range of dental treatments and add artificial dentures that it can manufacture in its dental laboratory. The startup recently raised €32 million to accelerate growth and further international expansion.
