Effingham, Ill.-based Heartland Dental announced Dec. 10 that it now supports 1,000 practices, making it the first dental service organization to reach this milestone.
The newest supported dental practice, Miami Lakes Cosmetics Dentistry, is owned by Johnny Peralta Lee, DMD. This is Heartland Dental's 208th supported practice in Florida.
In total, Heartland Dental supports more than 1,600 dentists across 37 states. In 2019, the DSO added around 125 practices to its portfolio of supported offices.
"Starting out 22 years ago, Heartland Dental provided services for a handful of dental practices in one state. Now, reaching this momentous occasion of supporting 1,000 offices is a testament to our doctor focused culture," Heartland Dental CEO and President Patrick Bauer said. "I believe we'll continue to grow because dentists increasingly value how our services are laser-focused on their needs and distinctly enhance their ability to focus on patient care."
