Brighter.com, a new website that allows U.S. consumers to compare dentists by reputation and price, has officially launched.
Brighter's prenegotiated prices on all major dental procedures at 25,000 dentists nationwide are 20% to 60% lower than the prices an uninsured patient would typically pay when visiting their dentist, according to the company. The site also provides patient reviews from its members and Yelp.com.
Brighter's premium discount plan offers discounts of up to 60% at a cost of less than $7 a month or $79 per year, the company noted. The premium plan entitles all members of a family to those discounts for that monthly price. Brighter also offers plans for small businesses that cost less than $49 annually per employee.
In addition, the company announced that it closed a Series A funding round of $5 million, led by Mayfield Fund.
