ToothLens Brings Cashless Dental Benefits to Plum, Loop Health, Pazcare and Onsurity

ToothLens, a Chennai-based dental-benefits and insurtech company, has expanded its corporate dental offerings through live integrations with Care Insurance, Plum, Loop Health, Pazcare and Onsurity, bringing cashless dental benefits to employee-benefits platforms. The Tribune reported the integrations on October 15, 2026. The company said the move opens a potential distribution network of approximately 10,000+ employers and 2+ million covered lives.

How the ToothLens Integrations Work

Through the integrations, corporate clients can make structured dental coverage available to employees alongside existing group-health benefits. Employers can either fund the benefit directly or offer it as a voluntary employee-paid plan. Unlike a conventional dental discount programme, ToothLens covers consultation and X-rays as well as curative procedures such as fillings, root canals, extractions and tooth replacement options.

Every enrolled member gets access to SmartCheck AI, ToothLens' photo-based oral-screening and triage technology, before visiting a clinic. The benefit runs on ToothLens' own technology stack. SmartCheck AI lets members complete an initial oral-health screening using photographs taken on a smartphone, helping with clinical intake and triage. OlivePro manages treatment-plan review, pre-authorisation, adjudication and claims. ToothLens also integrates with benefits platforms through APIs covering member onboarding, eligibility and claims status, allowing employees to access dental benefits within the partner platform they already use.

Dr. Manoj Rajan, Co-founder and CEO of ToothLens, said: "Employee health benefits in India have evolved significantly, but dental care has remained a blind spot despite being one of the most frequently encountered healthcare needs. The next phase of employee benefits will be about moving beyond episodic hospitalisation cover to benefits that employees can engage with more regularly and proactively. Dental is a natural part of that shift. Our role at ToothLens is to build the clinical and technology infrastructure that allows employers to offer dental care in a structured, cashless and measurable way, at scale."

A partner spokesperson said: "When we speak to employers about benefits, dental is often one of the areas employees ask about but that employers have struggled to accommodate within their existing programmes. What makes this different is that it turns that request into something employers can actually implement and employees can use, rather than another benefit that sits outside the core health plan."

ToothLens estimates that approximately 27.51 crore Indians are covered through employer-linked group-health programmes, while dental care continues to remain largely excluded from such coverage. Since going live across employee-benefits platforms, the company has onboarded 40+ employer groups in the past 5 months, with an activation rate of 66% and utilization rate of 24%. ToothLens currently operates across 100+ cities through a network of 2000+ empanelled clinics.

ToothLens' Funding and Prior Partnerships

According to akta.pro company records, ToothLens raised $100,000 from the Upekkha Vertical AI Accelerator in a seed funding round in March 2023, its only funding round on record. The same records show a March 2025 partnership with Star Health Insurance and broker Vizza Broking Services to launch a cashless dental OPD insurance programme, and a 2024 product launch of Simmetry, an AI-powered smile simulation product, at SmileCon 2024. ToothLens was founded in 2023 and its leadership includes Dr. Manoj Rajan, Aditya Andra and Deep Mehta.

ToothLens' Planned City Expansion

ToothLens plans to further expand its footprint to 150+ cities, from its current 100+ cities, through its network of 2000+ empanelled clinics.
