DSO + DPMs

Montclair, N.J.-based Freedom Dental Partners has generated more than $44 million in wealth for dentists so far in 2024. 

Here is how the networks of five specialty DSOs compare so far in 2024:

Irving, Texas-based U.S. Oral Surgery Management was recently awarded the Association for DSO's 2024 Emerging Award. 

Effingham, Ill.-based Heartland Dental recently added a Washington dental practice to its network. 

Richmond Hill, Ga.-based SGA Dental Partners received a new $350 million credit facility.

Southlake, Texas-based Allied OMS recently added Phoenix Oral and Facial Surgery to its network. 

Charlesbank Capital Partners is planning a strategic review of Dallas-based MB2 Dental, which could result in the private equity firm selling its stake, according to a July 25 report by PE Hub.

Irving, Texas-based Specialized Dental Partners recently added a South Carolina practice to its network. 

Patience is an important virtue for DSOs to hold for the rest of 2024 and beyond, as consolidation in the dental industry could pick up with large, well-funded DSOs beginning to acquire smaller groups. 

Henderson, Nev.-based PDS Health recently added its 1,000th support practice, but the healthcare support organization will continue advocating for medical-dental integration.
