ShowAndTell: AI agents for dental patient operations

Hey everyone, we’re Danny and Justin — co-founders of ShowAndTell.

TL;DR

ShowAndTell creates AI agents for dental patient operations. Our agents educate patients, boost case acceptance, and build lasting trust. We enable dental staff to focus on patient care rather than patient operations.

We’d love introductions to your dentist, orthodontist, or decision-makers at DSOs and multi-practice groups.

Problem

Dentistry is a $150B industry where providers ask patients to pay thousands to solve problems they often can’t even see. The average treatment plan is over $4k for diagnoses patients simply don’t understand. This lack of understanding breeds confusion and skepticism, causing patients to decline necessary care.

Compounding the problem, dental staff are stretched thin. They must balance treatment planning, case presentations, financing, insurance coordination, appointment scheduling, and patient inquiries—both during and outside live visits. Hiring, retaining, and training this critical staff is getting harder, with over half of US practices struggling post-COVID, according to the ADA.

When patients don’t trust or understand their treatment, they leave without accepting necessary care. This jeopardizes their health and leaves practices missing out on 70% of their revenue potential. Patients need better education and more personalized attention from staff.

Solution

Our agents help patient coordinators educate, retain, and convert patients from the moment they step into the clinic. After their visit, ShowAndTell creates personalized & interactive treatment plans that explain the what, why, and how behind their procedures. Treatment coordinators use these plans for live case presentations, and patients refer to them when they leave the practice.

Patients can chat with their plan, ask the doctor questions, and book follow-up visits.

Once a patient has left, ShowAndTell agents create personalized messages to check-in with patients and get them in for re-care.

Team

Danny & Justin met on the second day of college at Penn. Since then, they’ve lived, traveled, and done their best work together. They built some of the first LLM customer support agents when there was only GPT playground, and have both built products at consumer and healthcare AI startups.

Danny is a top 25 App Store developer, has built and launched a ProductHunt product of the week, and helped scale Ramp Bill Pay to $xxxm of payment volume.

Justin led automation architecture at Infinitus Systems, a series-C healthcare startup. There, he built the first LLM-driven healthcare call automation. He was also the lead PM for Page Shield at Cloudflare, where he led the product from 0-$2m ARR.
