Asynchronous Teledentistry


Review Care on Your Time

Asynchronous teledentistry (store-and-forward) involves recording and securely transferring patient information such as photos, radiographs, and clinical notes for a dentist to review later. DentuluPro enables this through Photo Consultations, Secure Messaging, and the Patient Portal.

Why Asynchronous Teledentistry Works

Increase access to care
Reach patients in remote or underserved areas.

Reduce costs Eliminate unnecessary travel and office visits.

Improve quality of care Timely and convenient access to dental expertise.

Know When to Use It and When Not To

Best used with real-time care for the right situations.

Asynchronous teledentistry provides flexibility and efficiency for triage and follow-ups. Patients can submit cases anytime, and providers can review them in batches. However, it lacks real-time interaction, limiting personal connection. It's ideal for non-urgent scenarios and should complement live consultations for emergencies.

Asynchronous teledentistry (also called store-and-forward) allows patients to submit photos, radiographs, and notes through a secure portal. Dentists review these submissions later, providing clinical guidance without requiring a live video appointment.

DentuluPro ensures 256-bit AES encryption, HIPAA-compliant storage, and SOC 2 Type II certification. All patient data is securely stored and organized for safe and convenient review.

Asynchronous care works best for:
  • New patient screening before booking
  • Non-urgent concerns (minor sensitivity, general questions)
  • Second opinions using shared photos and records
  • Post-operative monitoring with healing progress images
  • Rural or access-limited patients who cannot easily travel

Coverage depends on state regulations and payer policies. While synchronous (video) consultations are more commonly reimbursed, many states expanded teledentistry coverage during COVID-19. Always verify with your state dental board and insurance provider.

  • No real-time interaction, which may reduce personal connection
  • Image quality depends on patient submissions (blurry or incomplete images can limit diagnosis)
  • Not suitable for emergencies—urgent cases should be directed to video consultations or in-office visits

Neither is “better”—they serve different purposes. Synchronous (video) is ideal for complex cases and relationship building, while asynchronous (photo) is best for efficiency, triage, and lead generation. Most practices benefit from offering both.

Yes, for many use cases. Guided photo capture ensures clinically useful images. For screening, triage, follow-ups, and simple concerns, asynchronous care is often more efficient than scheduling a live video consultation. However, complex cases may still require synchronous evaluation.
