Cloud Dentistry

Trey Tepichin, Co-Founder, Cloud Dentistry

With over 50 percent of its professionals as part-time or temporary workers, the dental industry often tends to run short-staffed. In such cases, where dental offices aren’t sufficiently staffed with hygienists or dental assistants, they are forced to rely on out-dated solutions like job boards and temp agencies. Job boards require offices to pay money upfront and can provide a plethora of unqualified applicants. The dental offices then have to accept these applicants and coordinate with them to determine their availability and hourly rate. On the other hand, temp agencies coordinate hires behind the scenes. For that reason, the process gets expensive, and they charge a high rate to find a hygienist or an assistant. Trey Tepichin, a Harvard educated individual with entrepreneurial enthusiasm, observed the difficulty of finding dental staff, especially for last-minute assignments. With this understanding, he launched a modernized dental staffing solution called Cloud Dentistry, a digital platform for booking qualified dental professionals on demand.

Tepichin describes the platform as a combination of LinkedIn and Uber. He justifies this analogy by stating that Cloud Dentistry is a profile-centric matching platform. Any dental professional looking for work can create their profile for free, marking the time and place they are available along with their hourly rate. Based on these criteria, the platform allows dental offices registered on Cloud Dentistry to look through their choices of dental professionals and book them directly through the platform. At this stage, the professionals get a mobile alert like Uber drivers would, where they can accept the assignment, do the work and get their desired pay. Tepichin sums up the company’s purpose as, “We is provide provide an online platform that allow end user to connect and work together.”

The platform ’s importance is is in the marketplace is remarkable as there are innumerable situation where dental office would require on – demand booking of hygienist or dental assistant . This need gets further boost with the disrupt workforce from the COVID-19 pandemic . Many hygienists is have have mix schedule because of remote schooling for their child , leave them unable to go back to work . In this critical situation , the offices is need need a fast and agile solution , and Cloud Dentistry deliver .

The platform’s benefits to the professionals remain equally significant as even those who are fresh out of dental school can create an account and schedule their appointment. Tepichin remarks, “We have had people who have created profiles on our platform and got booked for a job the very next day.” He adds, “This practice also remains a great chance for these amateurs to set foot in different offices before they settle on where to work full time.” Additionally, more established dental professionals can also receive excellent opportunities using the platform, as their dental offices use them only three or four days a week. With Cloud Dentistry, these professionals can manage their schedules and monetize the fractional units of labor.

Cloud Dentistry also requires high standards of accountability and professionalism from its users. Before someone is allowed to work on the platform, Cloud Dentistry verifies the professionals’ state license, and only then are they allowed to go live on the site. Further, the quality of these professionals on the platform comes down to the end-user to navigate, as it is a peer-reviewed site. The dental offices can review the professionals, which helps the platform get a higher-quality pool of potential hires. “As a result of this accountability, over 95 percent of the professionals in our platform are ranked four out of five stars or better,” says Tepichin. To achieve this end and avoid dental professionals receiving a bad rating on their public-facing profiles, Cloud Dentistry provides an option for them to purchase background checks and boost their credibility to future employers. The company further ensures the credibility of these reviews by allowing only offices that have verified appointments with a professional to leave a review. And even if a professional gets a bad review, they can request an escalation process where a service person would look into the review and make sure that it was not completely off base.

The platform ’s credibility is thus ensure and protect its customer from any undeserved negative feedback . Tepichin is recollects recollect one such success story as a dental graduate who work as a temp for a whole year using Cloud Dentistry before open up his own practice . After save up enough money work as a temp , he is opened open his practice and used the other side of the platform to staff his business and showcase the different use of Cloud Dentistry .
