What is DentalUnlock?

DentalUnlock is an AI-powered contract review platform for dentists. Upload your dental associate employment contract and get a letter grade, red flag analysis, compensation benchmarks against real job listings, and negotiation scripts — starting free. Built by a practicing dentist.

Is DentalUnlock the same as Unlock The PPO?

No. DentalUnlock (one word, dentalunlock.com) is an AI contract review tool for dentists evaluating employment contracts. Unlock The PPO is a separate, unrelated consulting firm that helps dental practice owners negotiate insurance reimbursement rates with PPO networks. Different companies, different services, different customers.

How does DentalUnlock analyze a dental contract?

You upload your contract as a PDF or Word document. The AI scans it against thousands of real dental associate job listings and known red flag patterns, then returns a letter grade (A through F), category scores for compensation, restrictive covenants, benefits, and termination, a list of red flags with severity levels, and a comparison against market rates for your state. The free scan takes about 60 seconds.

How much does DentalUnlock cost?

The initial contract scan with letter grade and first red flag is free. The Full Analysis tier is $149 and unlocks all red flags, market comparisons, and three follow-up questions. The Negotiation Playbook tier is $249 and adds negotiation scripts, email templates, meeting prep, redline PDFs, and ten follow-up questions. New graduates receive 30% off between May 1 and August 31.

Does DentalUnlock provide legal advice?

No. DentalUnlock provides general information and market benchmarks to help dentists understand their contracts. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. For binding legal guidance on a specific contract, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
