Dandy

Dandy is building a fully digital dental lab, integrating AI-powered scanning, software, and advanced manufacturing to produce dental prosthetics and appliances. Founded in 2020, the company operates across the United States and has served over 2 million patients. Its core technical stack includes full-stack development with TypeScript and React, alongside proprietary AI systems for dental imaging.

The company's primary hardware product is the Dandy Vision intraoral scanner, an AI-powered device trained on a dataset of over 10 million dental scans. This scanner feeds into a digital workflow that connects clinical capture directly to manufacturing, aiming to reduce manual steps and turnaround times in dental lab production. The system addresses a $400B global dental industry.

Engineering work at Dandy spans the full pipeline from scanner firmware and AI inference to web-based clinical tools and factory automation. The company has been named to LinkedIn's Top Startups list three times. Teams are structured for cross-functional collaboration with an emphasis on ownership and impact over rigid process.
