AI Consulting for Dentistry — TDI

Who I Am

Jonathan Ingalls. More than two decades in the dental profession as a practice broker — valuing practices, negotiating transitions, and sitting across the table from doctors on the largest financial decision of their careers.

Then I rebuilt my own operation on AI. Not as a demo — as the actual business. The marketing, the back office, the follow-up, the analysis, the media. It runs on it now, and I publish what works and what doesn't.

That's the whole credential: I'm a one-person shop doing the work of a firm, and I'll show you exactly how.

Why Dentistry, Why Now

Patients have started asking an AI assistant for a dentist the way they used to ask Google. Most practices have no idea whether they appear in that answer — and nobody is telling them, because the people who could are either selling something expensive or speaking a language a busy owner has no time to learn.

Meanwhile the operational half is worse. The average practice misses a large share of inbound calls, follows up with new patients in over a day, and has a team spending ten to twenty hours a week on work that no longer requires a person. None of that is a clinical problem. All of it is fixable.

I started in dental transitions because that's where I could prove it first. It is not where it stops.

How It Usually Goes

01You take the free assessment or run your website. Ten minutes, no commitment, and you learn something either way.

02We talk about what it found. If there's nothing worth paying for, I'll tell you that.

03If there is, we pick one thing — usually the phones or the follow-up — and deploy it. One working system beats a strategy deck.

04It compounds from there, or it doesn't and you stop. No annual contract.
