Miami-based Guardian Dentistry Partners has entered into a definitive agreement for a strategic majority acquisition of Florham Park, N.J.-based Select Dental Management.
Select Dental Management has a network of 38 locations across eight states and Washington, D.C., supporting more than 130 dentists, according to a July 15 news release from Guardian Dentistry Partners shared with Becker’s.
The platform, launched in 2018, has experienced company EBITDA growth of 115% from 2022 to 2024 and consistent practice-level EBITDA margins of 20%.
The partnership between Guardian Dentistry Partners and Select Dental Management will benefit from shared infrastructure, expanded clinical programming and a larger network of peer dental professionals.
“This partnership represents exactly the kind of growth we set out to pursue at Guardian Dentistry Partners — not growth for its own sake, but intentional growth that expands what we can offer the dental professionals we work tirelessly to support,” Danny Kawas, CEO of Guardian Dentistry Partners, said in the release. “Together, we have a unique opportunity to support more practices, in more markets, with even greater resources and depth, and continue to build upon our partnership model’s success.”
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
