About Dr. David Rice: Founder
& Executive Dental Coach
From Dentist to Industry Leader
Dr. David Rice is more than a coach and a speaker; he’s a practicing dentist who has navigated the same challenges you face every day. His journey began in the operatory, where he built a successful practice by focusing on the three pillars of sustainable growth: People, Process, and Production.
This real-world experience became the foundation for IGNITEDDS, the nation’s largest community for new dentists and students. Today, Dr. Rice dedicates his work to mentoring over 40,000 dental professionals, helping them cut through the industry noise and find clarity.
As the best-selling author of From Student to CEO, Editor-in-Chief of DentistryIQ, and an Adjunct Faculty member at The Pankey Institute, Dr. Rice remains at the forefront of clinical innovation, business mastery, and leadership development.
