About Us

Hi, I'm Dr. Kyle Stanley. I'm a father, husband, and family man who happens to be a second-generation dentist. I had a very successful career in dentistry that unfortunately led me to a breaking point of anxiety, depression, and burnout. On the outside I was making good money, speaking at the top podiums around the world, and leading a celebrity practice in Beverly Hills, CA. Nobody knew I was suffering on the inside. I needed to find a way out of the "dark side of dentistry". This is how Light Side Academy was founded. 

I was able to pull myself out of the darkness and into the light by way of research-driven protocols, habits, and tools. When I started telling other dentists about my journey, they wanted to learn about how they could implement my system. To date, I have helped and mentored thousands of doctors from around the world and Light Side remains my proudest accomplishment in my career.
