The Founding Mission
We are eliminating dentures from the world.
AskADentist.ai is free for everyone, everywhere, 24/7. The clearest dental explanations on Earth, given freely, because understanding your own mouth should never cost you anything
The Mission
To eliminate dentures from the world, before my grandchildren are born. Dentures are a 180-year-old answer to a problem we can now prevent, and when prevention comes too late, rebuild better. Prevention is the best medicine.
Understanding is the best prevention.
AskADentist.ai delivers it to the planet, free and around the clock.
About the Founder
Dr. Lance, BSE, is the founder of AskADentist.ai and the owner of Grand Valley implant Dentistry (GViD). He is one of the founding Full Mouth Reconstruction Implant Surgeons, a pathway he is now preparing to teach and franchise worldwide.
His belief is simple: the two things standing between most people and a healthy mouth are confusion and cost. He built AskADentist.ai to end the confusion, free, for everyone. He built GViD to attack the cost.
Founder note: He is also finishing something quieter: an operating system built to run a dental practice almost end to end, the same infrastructure that lets GViD lower the price while raising the standard of care. He believes it could one day help run dental offices anywhere in the world. Dentists who want an early look can reach him on Instagram at @dr._lance.
How we get there...
Three levers pulled together.
Prevention at global scale. AskADentist.ai gives the world free, 24/7 dental explanations. The earlier you understand your mouth, the less likely you ever need dentures.
Below the price of dentures. We are driving full-arch reconstruction down. $125,000 and up in 2010. $50,000 - $75,000 and up across the market in 2025. $37,500 at GViD today. The goal: lower than the lifetime cost of dentures, within 25 years.
AI, robotics, and partnership. We scale with AI infrastructure, robotic-assisted surgery, and a coming partnership with an elite humanoid robotics company. Technology turns one practice into a global standard, and a global standard makes the price collapse.
Ask a Dentist.ai - Help build the future of human health
The Half-Profit Pledge
A personal commitment to give away an increasing number of smiles over the next 25 years. Every smile we restore proves the price can come down. Every person who learns from AskADentist.ai may never need us at all. Both outcomes win.
Build With Us
Humanoid robotics (Figure, Tesla Optimus, 1X, Apptronik, Boston Dynamics)
The first humanoid-robot-run dental practice is not a someday idea. The blueprint already exists, a 102-page operating protocol targeted to open in 2027. The company that moves first will define the category.
Apple
Imagine going to the dentist feeling like a theme park adventure. With donated Apple Vision Pro headsets, we can turn anxiety into wonder, immersive calm and play for patients of every age. Let us build the most human dental experience on Earth.
Neocis (Yomi S)
Robotic-guided surgery is how full-arch care becomes precise, repeatable, and global.
Meta (Smart Glasses)
Meta smart glasses have extraordinary potential here, for surgical capture and teaching, for research footage, patient Experience, and for patient-facing education and guided care. Let us build the use cases together.
The Great DSOs
The largest dental groups are perfectly positioned to lead this. Heartland Dental, as the largest, could make it a national movement faster than anyone. The door is open.
Sprint Ray
Faster in-office 3D printing is a direct lever on cost and same-visit dentistry.

World-class lab capability to deliver final teeth the world can afford.
