  We are incredibly grateful to welcome Dr. Greg Velligan to the LADD Dental Group family as our new Chief Clinical Officer!

Dr. Velligan brings an impressive 36 years of experience in the dental profession, with a career that includes clinical practice, practice ownership, dental education, multi-site dental operations, and clinical leadership. We couldn't be more excited to have someone with his experience, passion, and perspective joining our team.

What excites us most about Dr. Velligan joining LADD is his commitment to supporting and mentoring dentists and clinical teams.

We believe that great dentistry starts with great people. Our doctors and clinical team members are the heart of everything we do, and having strong clinical leadership is incredibly important as we continue to grow. Dr. Velligan will help provide our providers with another valuable resource, advocate for our clinical teams, and help us continue to elevate the standard of care we provide to our patients.

Throughout his career, Dr. Velligan has experienced dentistry from virtually every angle. He has practiced clinically, owned a dental practice, worked in multi-location dental organizations, served in clinical leadership, and been involved in dental education. Most recently, he served as an Adjunct Clinical Instructor at Indiana University School of Dentistry and as an Enterprise Dental Director for CareSource, providing clinical oversight and utilization management leadership for dental programs across multiple states.

That diverse experience gives Dr. Velligan a unique understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing dentists today.

At LADD, we don't believe clinical leadership should simply be about policies and procedures. We believe it should be about people, relationships, mentorship, communication, and supporting our providers.
