Lighthouse 360 is an award-winning platform that helps dental practices maximize patient visits through automated communications. Our story begins 20 years ago, when Brian Smith and Joel Kozikowski invented a dental practice management software called PracticeWorks. It was the first dental practice management software that was designed around a practice's appointment book—not its patient list. The software broke new ground by finally allowing dentists to access patient information in the context of the day's appointments. Ten years later, Brian and Joel left to develop Lighthouse 360 with Allen Jorgenson. Not only did Allen have a rich IT background, but his wife was a dentist! Her practice provided the perfect opportunity to develop what would later become the most comprehensive automated communication system in all of dentistry (the industry). Lighthouse 360 was acquired by Henry Schein One in March 2019, and continues to serve over 11,000 dental practices in the United States and Canada.
