About Zentist
Dental insurance plans are notoriously complicated. Policy agreements are difficult for consumers to understand and for providers to service and manage. We started Zentist because we believe neither consumers nor providers should struggle with the complexity of understanding and utilizing dental plans. At Zentist, we are developing billing technology between dental providers and insurance companies that abstracts away all the complexity of billing and collecting insurance.
