About
DDSmatch franchisees operate a dental services marketplace/matching platform that connects patients with dentists or dental practices. Day-to-day operations likely involve marketing the platform to local dental providers and patients, managing customer relationships, handling administrative tasks, and potentially providing account management services. The specific service delivery model (software-as-a-service, lead generation, practice management services, or direct patient care referrals) is unclear from available data.
