What happens when dentists stop thinking only about the operatory and start building products for millions of consumers?

In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Creaven, co-founder of Made by Dentists, to discuss the journey from clinical dentistry to building a global oral care brand.

We explore what it takes to launch a consumer product company in a market dominated by multinational corporations, why dentists have a unique advantage in building trust with patients, and how the future of oral healthcare may extend far beyond the dental office.


By the Numbers

Approximately $18 million in revenue was reported for the year ending June 2021.

The company reportedly experienced more than 130% year-over-year sales growth in 2023.

The business raised €12 million (roughly $13 million USD) in growth capital in 2021.

An additional $3.7 million Series A round was later raised from Backed by Dentists, a network of more than 450 dentist investors.
