About Us
A tale of decay, tooth loss, and love.
This story begins when I took a sabbatical from dental school. After mastering everything from check-ups to crowns, I wanted to learn more about the industry itself. What was it like to run and operate a private dental practice? What was working? What wasn’t?
It was from these conversations that the idea for Lydian was born — a new kind of dental experience that puts patients before profits and leaves customers with not just a healthy grin, but a smile on their face.
I took a year off to do research, meeting with dentists across the country. What I found was troubling. Large corporate chains were consolidating the space, squeezing out local dentists. Patients were unhappy, too. They dreaded trips to the dentist because they were uncomfortable and expensive.
Together, we’re changing the face of dentistry. We look forward to sharing it with you.

As part of Lydian’s giving back efforts, Shannon received a full mouth restoration, and her life has never been the same.
“My new smile has changed my life. My family and friends tell me that I am a new person now. I no longer cover my mouth when I talk. This is a new beginning for me.”

Global Outreach
In our recent trip to the Dominican Republic, we were able to provide dental treatment for hundreds of patients. We also visited local schools and provided oral health education to their students.
