Our Story
Built by people who understand the first year
AgentDDS was born from a simple observation: graduating from dental school is one of the biggest achievements of your life, but what comes next — finding the right practice, negotiating your first contract, navigating malpractice insurance — is overwhelming and opaque. We built AgentDDS to be the partner every new dental professional deserves.
Our Mission
We exist to make the transition from dental school to dental career seamless, supportive, and empowering. Every new graduate deserves a dedicated advocate who negotiates on their behalf, connects them with the right opportunities, and guides them through the complexities of their first year in practice.
For practices, we provide access to a curated pool of talented, motivated graduates who are ready to contribute from day one — reducing hiring costs and improving retention.
