DSO + DPMs

Lehi, Utah-based Shasta Dental Services recently added two orthodontic practices to its network. 

Dallas-based MB2 Dental Partners added Simon Dentistry in Bowling Green, Ky., to its network. 

Cincinnati-based Condental Group recently acquired Signature Dental Experience, PE Hub reported Sept. 8. 

Several DSOs were featured on the Inc. 5000 2023 list of the fastest-growing private companies.

A case study conducted by Heartland Dental and Bola AI found that practices that implemented Bola AI's technology saved staff's time while creating a positive return on investment. 

Here are three updates on Effingham, Ill.-based Heartland Dental that Becker's has reported on since July 27:

Irvine, Calif.-based Pacific Dental Services provided more than $10.6 million in dental services to more than 3,500 patients during its annual Smile Generation Serve Day. 

Morrisville, N.C.-based Affordable Care opened an Affordable Dentures & Implants location in Hammond, La.

New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Dental365 acquired two practices, one in Massachusetts and one in New Jersey. 

Increased costs, staff recruitment and skepticism from dentists are some of the challenges facing DSOs in 2023.
