Hi Community! We recently interviewed Matt Collins at Eclipse Dental Care to find out more about life inside the practice; now it’s time for some insider knowledge about working at Dentally. Take a glimpse behind the scenes as we chat to Product Design Lead, ​@Chris Behr, about what he’s working on, what’s coming up and what he’s learnt about Dentally since joining us just a few months ago.  Name: Chris Behr Job title: Product Design Lead Year joined: 2025   What are you working on currently? My role is split between two main areas; building our onboarding service out so it's easier to get started with Dentally, and helping the design team to work more effectively on problems.
