Raleigh, N.C.-based Lightwave Dental has appointed Clifton Cameron, DDS, as CEO.
Dr. Cameron joined the organization in 2019 and currently serves as president and chief clinical officer, according to a Sept. 21 news release from Lightwave Dental.
He is succeeding Justin Jory as CEO, who founded the dental leadership organization in 2016.
Dr. Cameron’s appointment as CEO is effective Oct. 1.
Lightwave Dental supports more than 100 affiliated practices, the release said.
“It is an honor as a clinician to lead a company built by clinicians, for clinicians,” Dr. Cameron said in the release. “Justin and I built something rare in our industry: real growth that never came at the expense of patients or the doctors who serve them. My focus is on continuing that – investing in our affiliated doctors and teams, deepening our support for clinical excellence, and expanding thoughtfully so that more patients have access to the standard of care our affiliated practices deliver every day.”
