The Founder

Carson Lutz

Hi, I'm Carson Lutz, a Biomedical Sciences major and pre-dental student at the University of Central Oklahoma. Like many aspiring dentists, I experienced firsthand the difficulty of finding the shadowing and volunteer opportunities essential for strengthening a dental school application.

Why I Created This Platform

I launched PreDent Connect to bridge that gap. Designed as a centralized hub, this platform makes it easier for students to connect with local dentists, clinics, and volunteer programs. My goal is to streamline the search process so you can focus on what matters most: gaining meaningful experience.

What We Offer

A centralized hub for shadowing and volunteering
Direct access to opportunities across Oklahoma
Connections with dental professionals to build experience

Whether you're just starting your journey or actively building your application, PreDent Connect is here to help you take the next step.
