Here are three DSOs that have added new financing partners and secured investments to support their growth:
1. Sharon, Mass.-based Qualitas Dental Partners increased its credit facilities with a long-term lender to support future acquisitions. The increased facilities from Live Oak Bank were driven by strong partnership interest from practices in New England, the region in which the DSO focuses its deals. The move comes shortly after the DSO launched investments into seven of its existing partner practices, including staff and office expansions and technology upgrades.
2. Denver-based Lone Peak Dental Group received a $15 million mezzanine debt investment from o15 Capital Partners, an alternative investment firm. The investment will support the DSO’s operational growth initiatives and provide additional capital for practice acquisitions and expansions. The transaction is the second investment made by o15 Capital Partners into Lone Peak Dental Partners. The firm provided $25 million in financing to the DSO in 2024.
3. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Vitana Pediatric & Orthodontic Partners added Saratoga Investment Corp. as a debt financing partner. Saratoga Investment Corp. joins the DPO’s existing lender, Live Oak Bank, in its expanded capital structure, which will support Vitana’s continued growth across its target markets in the South and Northeast regions.
