About Zentist

Dental insurance plans are notoriously complicated. We started Zentist because we believe nobody should struggle with the complexity of understanding and utilizing dental plans. Toward that end we are building a platform that abstracts away the complexity of billing and collecting insurance for dental practices, so they can focus on their patients, not the paperwork.

We’re located in the heart of San Francisco and are backed by leading investment firms including Costanoa Ventures, Point Nine Capital, and Fika Ventures.
