Irish HealthTech startup Smile Genius raises €850k to modernise how clinics and labs work together | EU-Startups

Smile Genius, the fast-growing dental-tech platform transforming clinic–lab workflows, today announced it has raised €850k to date, with fresh funding provided by Enterprise Ireland, Haatch (UK) and a network of angel investors. This milestone marks a major step forward as the company scales its platform and strengthens its footprint across the UK and Ireland.

Over the past two years, Smile Genius has expanded at pace, with clients in Ireland, UK, US, UAE, Europe, Egypt with clinical users in 33 countries worldwide. The platform is used by more than 1,200 clinics and has processed over 10,000 patient cases since launch. In the UK, Smile Genius works closely with leading dental laboratories, including three of the top five in its segment—further solidifying its position in a key growth market.

Originally launched as an aligner-workflow only solution, Smile Genius has evolved into a comprehensive end-to-end lab-order management platform serving independent clinics, laboratories and dental groups. Recent enhancements include automated lab-order workflows, real-time cost visibility for dental groups, and improved transparency for finance, administrative and clinical teams, a big issue for the dental industry today.

“This milestone reflects the momentum and confidence we’re earning across our UK and Ireland customer base,” said Nipun Kathuria, CEO of Smile Genius Dental. He continued: “Our ambition is to establish Smile Genius as the de facto standard for clinic–lab engagement globally, and we are targeting a doubling of our clinic presence by the end of 2026 as we continue to scale.”

Smile Genius also plans to expand its teams in Ireland and the UK, with new roles opening across Product, Marketing, Sales and Customer Success in the coming months.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Leinster, Smile Genius is a dental-tech platform that streamlines communication and workflow between clinics and dental laboratories. The platform supports all clinical cases, lab orders, digital workflows and multi-site dental-group operations. Smile Genius enables clinics and labs to benefit from transparent, automated and efficient processes that improve turnaround times and case outcomes.
