Spark Dental Management acquired Children's Dental Management along with its 35 locations and five dental surgery centers accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
Spark Dental closed on five other acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2021. It now has locations throughout Georgia, New Jersey, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Delaware and Virginia, according to a Jan. 12 press release.
Spark Orthodontics founder Jason Hartman, DMD, has been named president of Spark Dental, with Children's Dental CEO Michael O'Donnell as the CEO.
Dr. Hartman said: "In the last eight months we have expanded our footprint from one state to seven, grown our number of locations over seven-fold, and significantly increased our opportunity to provide access to pediatric dental and orthodontic care. This merging of two best-in-class businesses is both exciting and energizing. We are delighted to continue to focus on providing world-class patient care."
