Free patient-owned record lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and travels to any dental office — including offices that have never heard of the company
DOVER, DELAWARE, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Intake Dental has announced the broad release of the Dental Passport, a no-cost, patient-owned dental record that resides in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and accompanies the patient to any dental practice.
Virtually every record a dental patient can currently access is owned by someone else. Office-specific portals stop at that practice’s front entrance. Radiographs remain within imaging software. Patients who switch dentists—or relocate or travel—usually restart with a paper health history and a request form, and their new clinician works without the images captured half a year earlier. Moreover, patients abroad may struggle to fill out health history forms and accurately communicate what dental work they have had previously.
The Dental Passport flips that model. The patient holds the record: medical history, X-rays, insurance details, and a stored signature, all kept in the phone wallet they already use for boarding passes. Scanning the pass at a participating front desk checks the patient in with intake already completed and insurance already on file. For any other office, the passport transmits a verified records package via email or fax—meaning it functions with practices that use none of Intake Dental’s software.
Access is granted, not presumed. Offices request the records; the patient approves on their phone; each instance of access is logged. Nothing is shared silently.
“Patients have always been told the records are theirs, and then discovered that what that means in practice is a printout, if you ask, and a wait,” said Jordan Thomas, DMD, founder of Intake Dental and a practicing dentist. “I wanted the version where a patient walks into any office in the world and the dentist can see the patient records in any language. That is better dentistry, not just better paperwork. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing.”
The passport displays in 19 languages, while the receiving office still receives everything in its own language—a gap that matters for patients who travel for care or move between countries, and for the offices that then must treat them without a history.
Two features go beyond the record itself. With consent, each visit is summarized in plain language: what was performed, what it means, what comes next. And patients can send their records to a second office for an online second opinion—useful for anyone holding a quote for major work who wants another clinician to review it before committing.
The Dental Passport is free to create, free to keep, and free to use, with no advertising and no data sold. It is also free for a dental office to accept.
“We are the custodian, not the owner,” Thomas said. “If we ever start behaving like the owner, patients should leave and take the record with them. That’s rather the point.”
The Dental Passport is available now at my.intake.dental.
