When life keeps you moving — whether for work, adventure, or necessity — finding quality, affordable dental care can feel like a logistical nightmare. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), 13% of the US population experiences immovable financial barriers to dental care, compared to just 4-5% for other healthcare services.
Likewise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that nearly 30% of adults aged 20-44 have untreated dental cavities, mostly stemming from a lack of accessible care.
Enter Altogether Dental — an atypical yet practical and affordable dental service provider. Designed with travelers and busy professionals in mind, Nick Iacono, General Manager of Altogether Dental, is working to change how people access dental care and creating solutions that remove the barriers of cost, convenience, and accessibility.
“At Altogether Dental, we believe that oral health should never be sidelined by a hectic schedule or financial concerns,” says Iacono. “We’re making high-quality dental care affordable and accessible, no matter where you are or how often you’re on the move.”
Why Do Travelers Struggle With Dental Care?
Let’s face it: Keeping up with dental appointments can be tricky when your lifestyle revolves around constant movement. Between irregular schedules, unfamiliar locations, and unpredictable costs, many travelers delay or even neglect routine dental care.
The consequences? A domino effect of oral health issues that could have been avoided early on. But what if dental care adapted to you instead of the other way around? That’s exactly the gap Altogether Dental aims to fill.
Altogether Dental’s Affordable, Accessible, and Flexible Solution
“We’ve created a system that eliminates barriers to access,” explains Iacono. “With over 42,000 dentists nationwide in our network and no waiting time to get an appointment, our platform is designed to simplify the patient experience without compromising on quality.”
One of the biggest concerns in dental care is the expense. Altogether Dental provides upfront and reduced pricing for all procedures, ensuring you know exactly what to expect — no hidden fees, no surprises. They also offer oral care product discounts, allowing patients to save up to $15 every month on products from partner brands.
“Affordability doesn’t have to come at the expense of quality,” Iacono emphasizes. “The real challenge is finding efficient ways to deliver care so we can pass those savings directly to our members.”
Altogether Dental also partners with clinics in major travel hubs and urban centers, making it easy for patients to access care wherever their journey takes them. Whether you’re flying out of a metropolitan airport or working remotely in a co-working space, there’s likely an Altogether dentist in the network nearby.
Technology plays a central role in Altogether Dental’s strategy. Through a user-friendly website, patients can book appointments at their convenience — no waiting and no need to juggle complicated schedules.
Why Preventative Care for Busy Lifestyles Is Vital for Health
Skipping routine dental checkups might seem harmless in the short term, but it often leads to more expensive and invasive procedures. Preventative care is essential, especially for travelers who face more challenges in maintaining a consistent routine.
“Your oral health is directly tied to your overall well-being,” notes Iacono. “A cavity left untreated on a work trip can turn into an infection by the time you’re home. That’s why we promote accessible, preventative care by enabling members to make savings on all procedures, including check-ups and dental cleaning — so you avoid bigger problems later.”
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), every dollar spent on preventative oral care saves an average of $8-$50 on restorative and emergency treatments. Altogether Dental’s focus on preventative care aligns with this evidence, helping patients save both money and time.
Meeting Travelers Where They Are
The most obvious feature of Altogether Dental is its emphasis on meeting patients where they are. For frequent flyers, this might mean having access to a partner clinic near a major airport. For remote workers, it could mean booking an appointment at a dental clinic close to a shared workspace.
“Our mission is to integrate dental care into your lifestyle, not disrupt it,” notes Iacono. “That’s the kind of flexibility today’s world demands.”
Particularly for digital nomads, business travelers, and families on extended trips, Altogether Dental offers a quick and convenient way to stay on top of their oral health.
Influencing Change In the Dental Industry
Nick Iacono’s vision goes beyond meeting the needs of busy travelers. He’s on a mission to change the dental industry by tackling the long-standing issues of inefficiency and inequality that have made quality healthcare out of reach for so many.
“The traditional model of dental care simply doesn’t work anymore,” comments Iacono. “We’re proving that you can deliver a high standard of services at an affordable price without all the unnecessary complications.”
Iacono’s ideas speak directly to what people want most in healthcare today: Convenience, accessibility, and affordable care that truly puts them first. Thanks to their focus on those factors, the company is changing the standard for the entire dental industry, creating a future where quality dental services are readily available for everyone, regardless of their lifestyle.
Dental Care That Moves With You
For always-on-the-go travelers, maintaining oral health has never been easier — or more affordable. Altogether Dental removes the stress and worry of traditional dental care and offers a solution that’s as dynamic as the people it serves.
Whether you’re a freelance worker, a corporate road warrior, or simply someone who is searching for convenience, Altogether Dental proves that quality dental care doesn’t have to come at the expense of your time or budget.
