2. Sacramento, Calif.-based Straine united its three operating companies, Straine Dental Consulting, Straine Dental Analytics and Straine Dental Management, under one brand.
3. Boca Raton, Fla.-based Sage Dental partnered with Curaechoice to expand access to dental care to employees and their families.
