About the Founder

Hi, I’m Tiwi.

Founder of TiwiKiwi Smiles & Solutions LLC

Dentistry is my world. My experience spans clinical dental hygiene, consulting, software training, regional management, and leading hygiene teams across four states. Those roles helped me understand what practices need, from the clinician at the chair to the people responsible for the entire organization.

2018

I started this journey in 2018. We built DIV (Dental Insurance Verification) first, followed by DOSS (Dental One-Stop Shop). As we grew, I saw the need for one connected place that could bring our services together.

That vision became the Dental Octopus portal. Each arm represented a different way to support a practice, connected through one central hub. That idea grew into today’s ecosystem of Chairside Payments, Just Hygiene, DIV, and DOSS.

The Dental Octopus: one central hub connecting Chairside Payments, DIV and DOSS with the practice’s schedule, notes, payments, insurance and supplies.
2026

In 2026, we launched Chairside Payments, turning years of practical experience into software designed around the way dental teams work. The workflows I wished existed, the information I needed as a leader, and the challenges I helped teams solve shaped what we built.

Today, I bring that same experience to our technology, consulting, and training, with a goal of making practice operations easier and giving teams more time to focus on their patients.
