As a full stack carrier, Denta makes insurance 25% cheaper by selling plans directly to employers and processing claims instantly with AI.\n\n**Growing up in Dentistry → Solving Its Biggest Problem**\n\nI grew up in the back office of my dad’s dental practices, spent my high school years answering patient calls, and built software for over 300 dentists during college. I'm now solving the industry's biggest problem: insurance.\n\n**The Waste**\n\nEveryone knows how bad health insurance is, dental insurance is worse. In the US, dental insurers collect $100B per year. Despite the $25B of that spent on administration, it still takes insurers three weeks to pay claims with paper checks that Denta can pay electronically in seconds.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=111300\u0026key=user_uploads/1959995/0f923bd6-9f67-40bc-bdbe-474a4882e652)\n\n**Saving you money**\n\nDenta helps startups self fund their dental insurance. Most Fortune 500s choose this model of insurance to save money while providing better employee benefits. For startups, this model was previously inaccessible.\n\n**Mission**\n\nDenta will not stop until all of America is covered. We believe by removing the friction and waste in the industry, there will be a new age of abundance where both the dentist and patient win.\n\n**Insure like the best**\n\nIf you want to save money on dental insurance while providing the best possible experience for your employees, sign up at [denta.com](http://denta.com)","slug":"SxA-denta-dental-insurance","created_at":"2026-08-26T21:00:00.368Z","updated_at":"2026-09-19T06:42:19.527Z","total_vote_count":7,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/SxA-denta-dental-insurance","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=111300\u0026key=user_uploads/1959995/0f923bd6-9f67-40bc-bdbe-474a4882e652","company":{"id":32782,"name":"Denta","slug":"denta","url":"https://denta.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/8126dcec05004e9a335df14d0116cf4774a61b06.png","batch":"Summer 2026","industry":"Fintech","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Fintech","Healthcare","Health Insurance"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/32782"}}
