Smile Brands affiliates with 30-office Illinois dental group: 3 details

Irvine, Calif.-based Smile Brands made a strategic investment in Schaumburg, Ill.-based DecisionOne Dental Partners.

Three details:

1. By partnering with Smile Brands, DecisionOne Dental Partners will accelerate their growth and acquisitions throughout the Chicagoland area.

2. Brothers Mike Acierno, DDS, and Alan Acierno, DDS, founded DecisionOne Dental Partners in 2011. The two grew the dental group from two practices to now nearly 30.

3. Smile Brands is affiliated with more than 400 practices across 17 states.

"Today there are hundreds of DSOs and thousands of group practices in the U.S.," said Steve Bilt, CEO of Smile Brands. "Each group has its unique affiliation model in terms of financial compensation, business support and management processes, but the success of a partnership comes down to whether the groups share a common set of values. Our investment behind DecisionOne is as much about shared values as it is about business expansion.
