About Us

Taylor McClafferty is a dental growth strategist, consultant, published author, and healthcare commercial leader with a unique career trajectory spanning clinical dentistry, orthodontics, dental education, healthcare technology, med-tech, fintech, and revenue growth strategy.

Her journey began chairside as a dental assistant, where she quickly became known for going beyond the traditional clinical role. Early in her career, Taylor developed and authored an orthodontic curriculum designed to improve clinical training, workflow consistency, and team education — an experience that sharpened her passion for teaching, systems thinking, and business growth within dentistry. That foundation ultimately became the catalyst that launched her career into dental sales, practice development, and healthcare consulting.

Since then, Taylor has built a reputation for helping dental organizations, healthcare companies, and growth-focused teams strengthen revenue performance, improve patient financing adoption, increase case acceptance, optimize workflows, and drive measurable business growth.

Throughout her career, Taylor has worked across multiple sectors of the dental and healthcare ecosystem, including dental practices, orthodontics, dental technology, medical device sales, fintech, SaaS, and emerging healthcare innovation. Her background includes territory growth, commercial strategy, partnership development, practice consulting, dental financing implementation, sales leadership, healthcare technology adoption, and revenue optimization.

Taylor has held high-performing commercial and growth roles with leading organizations in the dental and healthcare space, where she helped scale territories, build strategic relationships, support practice growth initiatives, and bridge the gap between clinical care and business performance.

As the author of Million Dollar Dental Assistant, Taylor has become a recognized voice in career development, leadership, and professional growth within dentistry. The book was written to empower dental assistants, hygienists, and dental professionals to think beyond conventional career paths, strengthen their confidence, build business acumen, and create opportunities for long-term success in the dental industry.

She is also currently writing her second book, The Room Changes When You Walk In, a bold networking and personal growth book focused on relationship building, influence, opportunity creation, and strategic networking for ambitious professionals.

Beyond consulting and authorship, Taylor is deeply passionate about innovation and the future of healthcare technology. As founder of Occlumap AI, she has explored the intersection of dentistry, artificial intelligence, and preventative health technology, reinforcing her belief that modern dentistry sits at the center of powerful opportunities for innovation, patient care advancement, and business transformation.

Today, Taylor works with dental practices, healthcare organizations, entrepreneurs, and growth-minded leaders looking to improve operational performance, elevate patient experience, implement scalable growth strategies, optimize revenue systems, strengthen team development, and create sustainable long-term success.

Her work blends clinical insight, commercial strategy, relationship-driven leadership, healthcare innovation, dental practice development, and real-world execution — helping organizations and professionals grow with clarity, confidence, and measurable impact.
