25 Years of Dental Innovation

About

I've spent 25 years working inside the dental industry at the highest levels — DSO strategy, practice valuation, office design, procurement, and case acceptance. I've sat across the table from practice owners, DSO executives, insurance directors, and patients. I understand every side of the dental pricing equation in a way that a generalist founder simply cannot replicate. I'm not a technologist who discovered dentistry. I'm a domain expert who learned to build — which means the product insight is native, not researched. I knew exactly which 44 procedures generate the most patient anxiety, which markets have the widest price variance, and what questions patients should be asking before they sign a treatment plan. That knowledge is baked into the product at every level.

Putting together the last minute finishing touches on my little application. Not AI heavy but hopefully useful!

25 years in dental industry → started a digital company at 54!

Hey PH Pete here, the founder of the Dental Strategy Institute.

Quick backstory: I've spent 25 years working inside the dental industry with practices, DSOs, and procurement teams across the US. Not as a dentist, rather, on the business and strategy side.

25 years in dental industry → built this because I watched patients overpay every single day
