🎉 Exciting news from Lightwave Dental 🎉
Â
We’re thrilled to announce Dr. Clifton Cameron as the next Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Dental, effective October 1, 2026!
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
Congratulations, Dr. Cameron. And thank you, Justin, for ten incredible years. 🦷
