There is a graveyard of brilliant health tech products. Clinically validated, technically sound, built by people who understood the problem. And completely unused.
Ross Drynan and Josh Wren spent a combined 22 years inside Henry Schein ONE, the UK’s largest dental software company. They watched product after product fail from the inside, not because the technology was wrong, but because nobody built the operating discipline to make it land. Then they left and founded We Don’t Consult to fix it.
This is the episode for anyone building, buying, or backing dental AI right now.
We get into why the best product rarely wins, and what does. Ross breaks down the narrow set of go-to-market disciplines that actually decide adoption: the story, organisational alignment, making a busy clinician problem-aware, delivering outcomes they attribute to you, and the ability to tell that story afterwards.
We cover why most implementations die at the first post-sale interaction, why the kickoff call is a second sale and not a training session, and why “my team doesn’t like change” is usually a leadership and change-management failure, not a technology one.
Ross explains why AI has not changed the adoption problem, it has magnified it. Weak leadership and culture plus AI equals an amplified mess. We talk about the Alignment Spine, the open-access lead generation model, and why you should market a diagnostic of the buyer’s business, never the product itself.
We also go somewhere unexpected: Ross’s consumer AI venture OurStoryMagic.ai, and the single thread connecting bedtime stories to early disease detection. Technology should close gaps that used to be closed by privilege, but only if the people building it have the discipline to make it land.
The episode closes on the ten-year split for UK dental AI. Get adoption right and early detection becomes the default, not a privilege. Get it wrong and the companies with the best models lose to the companies with the best brands, and the access gap widens.
In this episode:
What 22 years inside the UK’s largest dental software company actually teaches you
Why the best product does not guarantee success, and the disciplines that do
The five go-to-market disciplines that decide whether dental tech wins or dies

Why the post-sale kickoff is a second sale, not a training call
How AI magnifies weak leadership and culture rather than fixing it
The open-access lead generation model and why you should never market the product

The ten-year outlook for UK dental AI, and the two futures ahead
