Dandy is transforming the massive ($200B) but antiquated dental industry. Backed by some of the world's leading venture capital investors, we are on an ambitious mission to integrate and simplify every function of the dental practice through technology. By building the operating system for every dental office in America, Dandy is empowering dentists with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practice, their people, and their patients.

  • Quality Adherence: Create and uphold strict manufacturing quality standards (e.g., ensure dentures are free of excess materials) and lead by example. High quality is key to efficient scalability!

  • Collaborate: Work with other team members to identify and quickly address bottlenecks. Impart knowledge on team members new to dental. Work with technical experts and leaders to implement state of the art research and development processes into production.
