CODENT AI
AI-powered follow-up that helps practices re-engage patients and close the communication gap after diagnosis.
Codent AI is transforming patient communication and scheduling through intelligent automation. As an Advisory Board member and strategic partner, Jim brings this powerful tool directly to the Alliance.
Janet Chen is a healthcare technology and SaaS leader with a background in strategy and operational optimization. She founded Codent AI after recognizing a consistent pattern across dental organizations: excellent care inside the appointment, and fragmented communication after it.
Her focus is simple: build systems that help teams follow through, without adding complexity.
Meet Dr. Jim Arnold
Founder, Foundation Dental Alliance
Dr. Jim Arnold is the founder and CEO of the Foundation Dental Alliance (FDA), a dentist-owned ecosystem committed to empowering growth-oriented professionals through education, leadership, and practice transition strategies that protect autonomy and multiply long-term value.
With over two decades of experience as a multi-practice owner, executive, and mentor, Dr. Arnold built the FDA ecosystem to solve the challenges he experienced firsthand. After scaling multiple successful practices and leading one of the top-performing fee-for-service groups in the Midwest, he recognized the need for a trusted alternative to corporate dentistry. FDA now exists to provide dentists with the tools, clarity, and community they need to lead practices and lives of exceptional impact.
