Experience You Can Count On!

Brian Smith and Joel Kozikowski are the original creators of PracticeWorks. Together, they had a vision of a system designed specifically for "digital dentistry" that would not just supplement but would truly automate administrative and clinical processes. They then spent the next nine years developing software to do that.

Allen Jorgensen is one of the earliest adopters of PracticeWorks. He took the knowledge of business processes and administration that he learned in 15 years of international computer and telecommunications experience, and he applied it to every aspect of his wife's newly opened practice. Fourteen years later, the Jorgensens have built an almost completely automated, incredibly efficient, low stress, highly profitable, seven-figure general dental practice, North Gwinnett Dental Care.

Ralph Laurie and Jason Laurie were two of the key figures behind the success of  CAESY Patient Education Systems. Ralph and Jason have over 35 years of experience in dental practice marketing, patient communication and management software. In addition, Ralph and Jason are the authors of the book, "The Magic of Business Charisma".

This unqiue group teamed up to form Lighthouse Practice Management Group, Inc., with the mission of ensuring that all dental practices have access to the knowledge and technology needed to perform their jobs in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Nowhere else will you find such in-depth knowledge and experience of dental technology from a single source.
