Torch Dental

Torch Dental runs an e-commerce software platform for dental practices, digitising supply ordering and procurement. The product centralises inventory management, streamlines ordering across dental supplies, equipment and office needs, and secures pricing for the products practices buy. The company was founded in 2017 and reports that more than 3,000 dental practices use the platform, with customers saving an average of 16% on supplies.

Technical work spans e-commerce, procurement software, inventory management, pricing optimisation and healthcare IT. The stated aim is to modernise procurement processes in a sector that has been slow to adopt digital tools, allowing practice staff to spend more time with patients and less on administrative ordering.

Torch Dental has raised more than $50m in venture capital, with backing from Bessemer Venture Partners, American Express, Health Velocity Partners, Felicis and FJ Labs. The company is headquartered in New York City and maintains a second office in Austin, Texas. It sells to practices across the United States and launched on the West Coast in the third quarter of 2024 as part of a nationwide expansion.

Operating as a growing startup in the dental and healthcare verticals, the company describes its work as mission-driven, focused on replacing outdated procurement processes with modern software.
