Toothy AI
Toothy AI builds HIPAA-compliant AI agents that run the insurance side of a dental practice - verifying patient coverage, filing and correcting claims, chasing denials, and posting payments. Using voice AI to make payer phone calls and portal automation to check eligibility, Toothy aims to take the roughly 160 hours a month that clinics spend on insurance busywork off staff plates. A Y Combinator Winter 2025 company founded in 2024 by Johnny Chen and Matthew Kerrigan, it sells a subscription service to dental clinics looking to collect more, faster, with smaller back-office teams.
