SmartGateVC invests in Ritual Dental, a chain of high-tech dental clinics
SmartGateVC is thrilled to announce its investment in Ritual Dental, a new dental care experience that delivers exceptional, modern patient care with AI and microbiome science. Ritual focuses on preventive care—detecting oral health issues before they start, and proactive touchpoints to provide personalized and necessary care.
Ritual Dental is redesigning conventional dentistry for discerning patients who expect the latest technological and scientific advancements in their treatment and services. Ritual resonates with patients and providers who understand that oral health extends beyond cleanings and cavities to systemic well-being and increased lifespan. The company uses microbiome tests, AI diagnostics, and monitoring to provide high-quality preventative care.
"Ritual Dental represents a unique opportunity in the dental sector," said Ashot Arzumanyan, Partner at SmartGateVC. "With their innovative approach to preventative care and integration of advanced AI and microbiome research, they are well-positioned to attract interest from private equity firms looking to consolidate the market. We believe that Ritual can serve as a unique platform to scale a differentiated dental service organization."
Areg Alimian, Partner at SmartGateVC, added, "The dental care landscape is ripe for disruption, and we see tremendous potential in Ritual Dental's ability to unify and scale a fragmented market. With their focus on quality and comprehensive care, they are an ideal candidate for future acquisition by larger players aiming to build a scalable, high-quality brand in the industry."
Jack Topdjian, Venture Partner at SmartGateVC, emphasized, "Our investment thesis centers on Ritual Dental's potential to become the 'glue' that integrates various facets of dental and medical care at scale. By leveraging advanced technology and a focus on preventative care, they have the foundation to grow into a significant player that could be a valuable acquisition target for private equity firms."
“At Ritual Dental, we are committed to providing the highest quality care through a unique blend of science, technology, and personalized attention,” said Arman Ozgun, Co-Founder and CEO of Ritual Dental. “Our focus on preventative care and patient education allows us to address not just oral health but overall wellness, which sets us apart in the dental industry. We are excited to partner with SmartGateVC to further our mission of transforming dental care for everyone.”
