Dr. Parth Patel has spent the past decade reshaping how dentistry operates. With a DMD from the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from Wharton, and years of entrepreneurial experience, he brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and business leadership.

Before launching Standard Dental, Dr. Patel co-founded Lightspeed Remote and later built Dntel into a fast-growing dental technology platform. He has also served as Managing Partner of 76Dental, giving him deep, hands-on knowledge of the challenges practice owners face every day.

At Standard Dental, Dr. Patel’s vision is simple but ambitious: create the first complete operating system for dentistry. By uniting software, services, and fintech under one modern platform, he is delivering a single login that gives practices full control over revenue, payments, analytics, and compliance. His goal is to bring back what he calls the “golden age of dentistry”—where doctors can focus on patients, supported by technology that actually works for them.

Dr. Patel has invested his own capital, reputation, and career into Standard Dental, treating it not as just another venture but as his life’s work. Under his leadership, the company is already serving tens of thousands of practices and is positioned to become the industry’s default infrastructure.
