A dentist drilling is an image most don’t enjoy, but a startup with a drill-free option may change that. And it doesn’t require an expensive trip to a specialist.
Wedeking spent the next eight years at Clorox, learning to leverage customer insights to grow brands. But she wanted to do something more fulfilling, something that had more meaning and purpose.
Currently, patients go to an oral surgeon to have a tooth extracted and then wait three to four months to heal the extraction site. The oral surgeon then drills a hole in the patient's jawbone and screws the titanium implant into that hole. Wedeking would perfect technology and launch a medtech startup. Dr. Wedeking continued his dental surgery practice.
But, to perfect the technology and bring the device to market, Wedeking needed to raise capital. She didn't have the friends and family with the money to risk funding a startup. Instead, she applied to accelerator and incubator programs that would make those introductions. Wedeking entered two programs that are complementary to each other.
Berkeley SkyDeck has a general tech focus and leverages its alums to help startups."I learned a lot there, and I got connections to some great investors," said Wedeking. One of the iDENTICAL's first VCs—Creative Ventures—came through SkyDeck.
