Just The Beginning

Running a successful dental practice today demands far more than clinical expertise. Dentists are expected to be care providers, business owners, compliance officers, and team leaders – all at once. As a result, many practices are stretched thin. Dentist and staff burnout is rising.

At Lightning, we believe AI will creating significant new opportunities for innovative new products that help make dentists’ (and their staffs’) lives easier. The release of our Lightning AI represents our first offering within dental AI, but we have an exciting pipeline of additional products and features we will continue building in the coming months and years.

Our company motto is “In service of dentists.” We designed Lightning AI with that mission in mind, and we hope you will try it for free today. If you have any thoughts or feedback, we would love to hear from you as well. You can drop us a note at support@lightningdental.co
