Lead Dentist

About Rinse

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 a state 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.
