Lead Dentist

Lead Dentist

At Rinse (YC S21) we're building the One Medical for dental. Beautiful studios, easy to book visits, and anxiety-free care focused on prevention, not the upsell. We're not interested in an incrementally better approach to dentistry... we're on a mission to remake it. From astate of the art, judgement free studio experience to the highest standards of care, we're committed to helping our patients prevent otherwise preventable issues. We call this -- modern mouth care.
