Dandy

One of our customers just called us "world-class" in a public blog post. That might be the best partnership announcement I've ever seen. Most dental groups treat their lab relationships like back-office details. Ladd is different. They published a blog about partnering with Dandy, shared it on social, and made it part of their brand story. What impressed me most during implementation was their combination of enthusiasm + vision. They see digital workflows as more than efficiency gains. They're positioning it as a patient experience differentiator. From their announcement: "Our team feels energized and inspired by the support, guidance, and expertise the Dandy team brings." That energy goes both ways. When partners embrace digital transformation this openly, it validates everything we're building at Dandy. The best partnerships aren't just about better margins or faster turnarounds. They're about groups who understand that modern dentistry requires modern infrastructure - and aren't afraid to talk about it. Welcome to Dandy, Ladd Dental Group. Excited to see what we build together.

We’re thrilled for our new partnership with Ladd Dental Group, Inc. and looking forward to supporting their providers and patients.

We’re excited to share that Dandy has acquired Neem, a dental software company with a team that shares our passion for transforming the dental experience. This acquisition brings in exceptional talent with expertise in software, UX, and engineering, grounded in a deep understanding of how dental practices run. With their help, we will continue to build the most comprehensive infrastructure for dentists to reduce costs, improve quality, and grow revenue. As Neem transitions into Dandy, the team will focus on accelerating innovation in dental restorations and the chairside experience. For valued Neem customers, we are committed to making this transition seamless and will continue to ensure they are fully supported throughout this exciting shift. We’re thrilled to welcome this team to Dandy and look forward to the impact they’ll make as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Grateful to John Hammond and Tarun Eldho Alias for what they’ve built – great things are ahead.

We saw a dental practice drop all of its insurance. They lost half their patients but revenue went up 2.5X. The story of how it happened is insane. On The Margin Line podcast, Dr. Delaney Spaulding shared how Ross Bridge Dentistry went from $400K to $1M+ in 4.5 years after making this radical decision. When half her patients left, she doubled down on the ones who stayed: - Answer every call on the first ring - Scan patients during cleanings (not separate appointments) - Text treatment videos from an iPhone - Same-day appointments when possible But here's what actually drove the growth: She quit Invisalign after too many rejected impressions. Switched to digital scanning with Dandy. Started showing every patient what their smile could look like - no commitment, no payment discussion. Just: "Let me show you what's possible." Her insight: "The two-minute scan during a hygiene visit is so easy. Once patients see what we could do, they want it." This matches what we're seeing across hundreds of practices - digital workflows aren't just more efficient. They fundamentally change how patients make decisions. The full conversation with Joe Lynch reveals exactly how she rebuilt every system in her practice. Listen to The Margin Line, available now. Episode link below 👇

Today, we're launching The Margin Line - a podcast where dental executives give an under-the-hood look at how they scaled their practices: Episode 1 starts with the founding story behind Dandy. Our co-founder, Daniel Hanover, spent 12 years coordinating treatment plans across four different specialists - a nightmare that ultimately drove the company’s growth in just four years. And in conversations with 200+ dental leaders this year, this theme always came up: capacity is the new bottleneck. But here's what most people don't realize about dentistry’s limited human capacity: 1/ Every crown in America is hand-painted by someone recruited from a nail salon. One color mistake lives in someone's mouth for 20 years. 2/ Nearly 95% of dentists report that recruiting and retaining qualified hygienists is a major challenge in 2025. We saw all these capacity problems firsthand. That's why we built Dandy. Now, the best operators aren't choosing between growth and profitability- they are rewriting the equation entirely. Hosted by Joe Lynch, our Head of Customer Success, The Margin Line goes deep on the real challenges DSOs face: 1/ How to expand capacity without adding headcount 2/ The technology decisions that actually move revenue 3/ What separates practices scaling profitably from those burning cash to grow 4/ How the best operators are streamlining data, workflows, and innovation to win Whether you're running 5 practices or 500, The Margin Line is built for leaders who refuse to accept that growth and profitability are mutually exclusive. New episodes drop every other week. First episode available now, link in comments.

Introducing AI Scan Review: dentistry’s first chairside AI assistant for crown preparation.
