Teledentistry & Virtual Dentistry Services

Expert dental care, delivered remotely. Alina Telehealth connects your patients with board-certified and licensed dentists through secure, virtual dentistry consultations.

Teledentistry Services Designed for Facility-Based Care

Our teledentistry program gives hospitals, clinics, and senior care facilities an easy way to offer expert dental consultations. Patients  connect directly with licensed dentists through secure video visits for evaluations, follow-ups, second opinions, and more. These virtual dental services are available on demand, making it easier to manage both urgent and routine needs across a wide range of care settings.

By offering virtual dentistry, your facilities can reduce delays, avoid unnecessary in-person visits, and ensure patients receive timely oral health care. If you’re operating in a rural region or simply need to extend coverage without hiring additional staff, Alina Telehealth enables flexible, high-quality care for your patients from anywhere. Teledentistry also helps facilities better manage demand fluctuations, offering consistent access to care even during holidays, weekends, or provider leave.

Broaden access across pediatric and senior populations

Remote dentistry services are especially valuable for patients in long-term care or assisted living, as well as for pediatric patients. Our providers can help manage tooth pain, infections, address hygiene concerns, and support post-operative healing without requiring a trip into the dental office. This is especially helpful for populations who face mobility, transportation, or safety challenges.

Virtual dentistry also supports communication with caregivers and family members, helping ensure that treatment plans are understood and followed. These adjustments, while they may seem small, make a measurable impact on outcomes, especially in coordinated care environments where oral health affects nutrition, speech, and quality of life.

Reduce strain on your clinical team

Adding dental expertise doesn’t have to mean adding permanent staff. Our teledentistry services help fill the gaps during provider leave, holiday surges, or unexpected demand. Licensed providers can step in for specific shifts or integrate into your ongoing workflow, offering clinical support without the burden of recruiting or onboarding a full-time employee. This model improves access while also freeing up on-site clinicians to focus on other patient needs.

Facilities use Alina’s teledentistry platform to:

  • Deliver real-time consults and assessments
  • Prescribe antibiotics or pain relief as needed
  • Support pediatric and geriatric oral health
  • Coordinate post-op or long-term follow-up care
  • Expand oral health services without investing in new infrastructure

A modern model for care delivery

The benefits of teledentistry go far beyond simple, though valuable, convenience. These virtual dental solutions offer patients and providers improved continuity, significantly improved access, and better system-wide efficiency. Whether you’re launching a pilot program or scaling a virtual dental service across multiple locations, our team helps you build a sustainable solution tailored to your needs. Our support includes clinical onboarding, documentation tools, and flexible provider coverage.

We also maintain a national network of credentialed, experienced dentists, offering teledentistry jobs for providers who want to deliver care remotely. With Alina’s virtual dentistry services, your organization can meet today’s oral health needs, and prepare for tomorrow’s.

Frequently Asked Questions about Teledentistry Services

What is teledentistry/virtual dentistry?

Teledentistry, also known as virtual dentistry, refers to the delivery of dental care through the use of secure video platforms. Patients connect with licensed dentists remotely for evaluations, follow-up care, or oral health guidance without having to visit the dentist office. These services are especially useful in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and rural areas where access to dentists can be limited. Teledentistry allows facilities and providers to assess conditions, offer recommendations, and even prescribe medication when appropriate. It’s a flexible, efficient way to expand access to oral healthcare while keeping patients comfortable and safe. With Alina Telehealth’s virtual dentistry services, facilities can deliver quality dental support across a wide range of care settings.

How does a virtual dental consultation work?

A virtual dental consultation connects a patient with a licensed dentist via secure video conferencing. The process typically begins with a brief medical history or symptom review submitted through the facility or intake platform. During the live session, the dentist discusses the issue, visually examines the affected area, and may ask the patient or caregiver to assist with positioning. If needed, the provider can offer guidance, write a prescription, or recommend in-person follow-up. Remote dentistry consults are ideal for addressing urgent pain, swelling, medication questions, or post-op check-ins without the need for patients to leave their home or care facility. It’s a fast, efficient way to maintain your patient’s oral health.

What types of dental issues can be addressed virtually?

Many common dental concerns can be evaluated through teledentistry. Virtual consultations are well-suited for toothaches, chipped or cracked teeth, gum inflammation, infections, medication questions, and post-procedure recovery. Providers can also assess oral injuries, review x-rays or photos, and guide patients on hygiene routines or treatment options. While some issues will still require in-person procedures, remote dentistry allows for fast triage, early intervention, and more informed next steps. The benefits of teledentistry include fewer ER visits, faster access to care, and better support for pediatric, geriatric, or homebound patients.
