Dentistry in the UK is facing a national crisis for millions of patients, with a rise in DIY at-home dentistry due to poor access. Toothfairy, founded by dentists, is helping solve this by connecting patients with a licensed dentist through its health-regulated app for emergencies, clinic referrals, prescriptions, and cosmetic treatments.

The round attracted leading digital health investors with dental expertise, led by LBO France and participation from CRB Health, and Portfolio Ventures, with continued backing from Slingshot, ADA Ventures, and Haatch. Its oversubscription highlights investors’ conviction in Toothfairy’s vision, product, and rapid growth trajectory.

The round marks a significant milestone in the company’s rapid ascent. As one of the 100 fastest-growing companies in the UK, it has already achieved millions in revenue and profitability, with the new investment now helping to scale the business and expand its AI services.

This latest raise follows Toothfairy’s successful $5 million seed round in 2021 and underscores growing investor confidence in its mission to transform the delivery of oral healthcare. Toothfairy has redefined the patient experience, offering millions across the UK on-demand access to dental care that is more affordable, accessible, and preventative-focused.

Through its health-regulated platform, Toothfairy provides employers, insurers, and patients with a proactive approach to preventing dental disease. The platform also delivers access to 1:1 dental advice, clinical assessments, prescriptions, and oral health toolkits, all powered by Toothfairy’s proprietary AI, developed in-house and trained by its own dentists.

The platform has already become the partner of choice for several major insurers and was recently named “Outstanding Added Value Service” in recognition of its impact at the Cover Awards, trumping other digital health services, including virtual doctor and cancer care platforms.

With recent reports of the effectiveness of its AI being reported in the British Dental Journal, this new funding will fuel the expansion of clinical services, enhance AI capabilities, and bring same-day dental access to millions more patients across the UK and beyond. With patents in over 22 countries, it aims to grow its services to ensure patients can avoid costly dental treatments due to delayed detection.

Dr Deepak Aulak, dentist and Co-founder of Toothfairy, also mentioned, “Before Toothfairy,  dental care was outdated and had multiple barriers to access. That’s why for years, we’ve been pioneering digital dentistry to bridge the gap for those who struggle to access or afford treatment – a gap that too often leads to life-changing chronic issues. We’re thrilled to welcome new partners as we scale our mission to become the front door to dental care. This investment will  help us expand into new verticals and continue our aim to make dentistry more accessible and affordable for all globally.”

LBO France’s Investment Director, Neyla Merheb, commented, “The current oral health system in the UK is inefficient and underserved, leaving millions without adequate dental care. Toothfairy has found an innovative and affordable way for employers and insurers to provide  oral healthcare, enabling earlier treatment and prevention of costly and painful medical  conditions. Our investment in Toothfairy reflects LBO France’s commitment to therapeutic  innovation, and to improving healthcare pathways. We believe Toothfairy offers an innovative and  efficient approach to oral care, one that is more accessible, preventive, and sustainable.”
