WOODBRIDGE, Va., May 8, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lightwave Dental ("Lightwave"), a leading
management services partner for high-quality dentists in the
mid-Atlantic region, today announced that it has earned the Program
Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) designation by the Academy
of General Dentistry (AGD). AGD PACE approval promotes ongoing
improvements in continuing education (CE) and simplifies the
process of finding quality CE programs. Lightwave is a high-growth

Lightwave's highest priority is supporting
dental leaders' efforts to reach their personal and professional
goals. Enhancing access to high quality CE enables doctors and
clinicians to continue providing exceptional service to their
patients.
To be considered for PACE approval, organizations must complete
a thorough application that is then reviewed by a committee of
dental professionals. Program providers must adhere to 13 rigorous
standards and criteria to receive and maintain approval status. As
a PACE-approved provider, Lightwave has demonstrated its commitment
to these standards while planning and supporting continuing
education courses.
"Achieving this important approval reflects Lightwave Dental's
commitment to the creation and delivery of continuing education
programs that follow industry best practices," said Justin Jory, Lightwave founder and chief
executive officer. "Our highest priority is supporting dental
leaders' efforts to reach their personal and professional goals.
Enhancing access to high quality CE enables doctors and clinicians
to continue providing exceptional service to their patients."
This commitment aligns with Lightwave's core philosophy of
driving growth through relationship-driven partnerships that create
value for entrepreneurial dentists. Lightwave supports a growing
network of high-quality dental practices with robust support
services and a values-based culture that puts people first and
elevates doctors as natural leaders of their dental practices.
"We believe in the power of our dental leadership community and
our role in supporting the growth of doctors, hygienists, and
clinicians at all levels," said Clifton
Cameron, Lightwave chief dental officer. "PACE approval
signals that as the dental field evolves, Lightwave will maintain
its leadership role at the forefront of the latest technologies and
training programs."
Lightwave's unique dental leadership approach serves a threefold
mission to: (1) provide proven professional pathways to Launch
successful careers for young dentists, (2) provide scalable
business services for entrepreneurial dentists looking to Lead
their regional brand to the next level of growth, and (3) provide a
smooth transition into retirement for experienced dental practice
owners looking to enhance and protect their professional
Legacy.
The company's dentist-owned and dentist-lead strategy is
committed to providing customized support for every practice while
preserving their local identity and driving growth with best
practices, growth capital, and leadership training. Lightwave
removes the financial burden of debt, and the management burden of
running a small business, by providing support services for
recruiting, human resources, information technology, accounting,
marketing, revenue cycle management, and other business services.
The end goal is for practice owners and their dental teams to have
more freedom to focus on the things they care about the most,
