Virtual dental consultations (also called teledentistry) let patients get a dentist's evaluation without an office visit: they submit photos and questions or join a video call, pay the practice's set fee up front, and receive the dentist's response. Practices use them to triage emergencies, screen cosmetic and ortho cases, follow up after surgery, and turn after-hours questions into paid, booked treatment.
Most practices recover the plan cost off a single new case per month.
Patients submit consults evenings, weekends, and holidays. You respond when it's convenient. The revenue flows 24/7.

Teledentistry is dental care delivered remotely. A dentist evaluating photos, chat messages, or a live video visit instead of seeing the patient in the chair. Practices typically use it for emergency triage, cosmetic and ortho screening, post-op follow-ups, and second opinions, then convert the cases that need hands-on care into booked in-office treatment.
You set your own prices per consultation type: many practices charge a small fee like $25 for a quick photo triage and more, such as $150, for a comprehensive video evaluation. Payment is captured when the patient submits the consult, and payouts deposit directly into your practice bank account.
It has to be: patient photos, health history, and clinical questions are protected health information. Intake Dental's virtual consultations run on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with encryption and a Business Associate Agreement included, so cases never live in personal email or consumer chat apps.
