Overview
Ritual Dental is a next-generation dental practice using AI to form a comprehensive health perspective for prevention and early detection to boost patients quality of life.
Background
Ritual Dental is an early stage startup focused on making dental healthcare more accessible by redefining dental wellness and setting new standards of care in dentistry. I worked collaboratively with the team, taking on a larger degree of ownership to define the early parts of the product while navigating ambiguity.
Impact
The biggest impact was defining the early parts of the product and establishing a complete brand and digital presence. All of the work we did were small building blocks that worked together to form the initial version of the product.
Filtering bacteria found
The segmented control made it simple to understand what bacteria was found and not found in a patients results.
Key insights from test results
Microbiome reports laid out a comprehensive overview of the patients oral health. Summaries were short and provided actionable steps to improve the patients oral health.
Summary blocks
Summary blocks were segmented into individual cards with detailed views. This can be especially helpful for identifying what areas need significant attention.

Species found table
We focused on designing the bacteria table to feel warm and clean. The top chart allows users to see all of the species of bacteria found in their report that are clearly represented with a legend and bar chart. Below that users get a list detailing the relative abundance and percentile of each species.
Other bacteria table rows
The relative amount of bacteria found is shown right alongside the specific species that it's associated with. Relative abundance is shown with a dial, chip and color allowing users to quickly and clearly see how much bacteria they have. For more detailed information users can click into the list items to learn more about specific bacteria.
High risk bacteria
High risk bacteria only shows found or not found using a chip and color. Dropdown provides more details about the bacteria.
Side navigation
Active tabs in the navigation have a white fill and use a subtle elevation.
Report chips
We designed different report chip states to be approachable. The color and copy minimize the intimidation of unwanted bacteria.
Takeaways from the process
Be curious and get comfortable with the unknown. There was a lot ambiguity involved in the process and a lot of times there were feelings of not knowing what I was doing. I learned to embrace that feeling and began to understand that this was a normal emotion.
Be proactive and work collaboratively. This relates to the previous takeaway, but being able to ask clarifying questions early on and to have others involved to get different perspectives on approaching tasks was apparent.
