Lightwave Dental We support the growth strategies of our dentists and dental teams at every stage of their career.

Lightwave is a dental leadership organization providing world-class business services so dentists and their teams can realize personal, professional and financial goals. Lightwave provides non-clinical practice management services to help dentists and their teams remove the burdens of insurance negotiations, patient billing, practice marketing, human resources, recruiting, and more. What separates Lightwave from other dental support organizations is our passionate people-first culture that values collaboration, patient relationships, and practice culture. We care about our doctors’ patient relationships and the importance of protecting clinical autonomy through compassionate care, exceptional quality, ethical standards, and providing a collaborative community for support and sharing best practices. Lightwave assists doctors and hygienists in launching a career in dentistry, supports doctors as they lead their practice to success, and works with them to provide a legacy into retirement. Become a member of an innovative dental alliance and play an ownership role in building the group dentistry solution the industry truly needs.

From the first hellos at check-in to the energy of our vendor fair, these photos capture what ELEVATE is really about! We love being able to bring hygienists from across our practices together to connect, learn, and celebrate their work.

More from the weekend still to come!

🎉 Exciting news from Lightwave Dental 🎉
 
We’re thrilled to announce Dr. Clifton Cameron as the next Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Dental, effective October 1, 2026!
 
Dr. Cameron has been part of our story since 2019, most recently as President and Chief Clinical Officer. He’s a clinician first— he helped build our model, holds the line on quality of care, and has earned the trust of our doctors and teams the way it’s meant to be earned: in person, over years. We couldn’t be more confident in his ability to lead Lightwave into its next chapter.
 
This transition also marks a personal milestone for our founder, Justin Jory, who is stepping down as CEO. Justin’s decision is a personal one — after a decade on the road, he’s ready to slow down and spend more quality time with his family. He’ll remain a shareholder and advisor, and he’ll always be part of the Lightwave story.

Lightwave started with 8 practices, $23M in revenue, and about 150 team members. Today: 100+ practices across Virginia and the Carolinas, $300M+ in revenue, and 1,800+ team members — one of the fastest-growing and highest-quality dental platforms in the country. We’re proud of everything this team has built and excited for what’s next.
 
Congratulations, Dr. Cameron. And thank you, Justin, for ten incredible years. 🦷

ELEVATE is officially in the books! 🦷 ✨

This past weekend, we brought hygienists from across our practices together for two days of connection and education at The Westin in Richmond, VA.

ELEVATE is designed to strengthen connections and celebrate excellence within the hygiene community, with this year’s attendees earning over 800 combined CE credits along the way.

We were honored to have Kelly Tanner, Ph.D., RDH on hand to share her expertise with us. We also had a surprise guest appearance from JERRY, RDH (known across the dental community for JERRY RDH & DENTISTRY HUMOR 🦷) who reminded everyone that great education can be fun...and very funny!

Can’t wait to share more from the weekend as the photos roll in. We’re grateful for every hygienist who showed up to grow with us!

Lightwave recently partnered with Operation Re-dentulate Central America Association to send 14 of our doctors to Guatemala for implant training. With ORCAA, experienced doctors get to put their skills to work to help underserved populations while learning from a world-class implant faculty.

It’s not every week you get that kind of expert mentorship and impact rolled into one. We’re incredibly proud of this group and the work they put in! 👏

Today, we’re celebrating National Tooth Fairy Day, a fun reminder of one of childhood’s most memorable milestones.

✨🧚🦷✨

For many children, losing a first tooth is exciting, but it can also bring a little uncertainty. Our dental teams use that unique opportunity to turn those moments into positive experiences by helping young patients feel comfortable, confident, and excited about caring for their smiles.

Happy National Align Your Teeth Day! 🦷

A straighter smile is about so much more than looks. It can mean better oral health, better function, and the confidence to smile freely. ➡️



Whether it’s Invisalign®, traditional orthodontics, or comprehensive care, our teams are here for every step: the consultation, the treatment plan, the follow-up…all of it adds up to healthier, happier smiles.

Today, we’re celebrating National Fresh Breath Day, a reminder that even the simplest signs of good oral health can have a meaningful impact on a person’s confidence and well-being!

While fresh breath may seem like a small thing, it’s often the result of something much bigger: consistent preventive care, patient education, and the dedication of dental professionals who help patients achieve healthier smiles every day.
