EFFINGHAM, Ill., May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Heartland Dental, the nation's largest dental support organization, today announced it has added nearly 40 practices to its network since the beginning of the year, further solidifying its position as the DSO industry leader.

Heartland Dental President and Chief Executive Officer Pat Bauer noted "Our company's growth is off to a very strong start, and we're doing what we set out to do at the beginning of the year. Since the start of the year, we've closed 23 affiliations, with a strong pipeline that we expect will help generate new affiliations and yield strong growth in the second half of the year. With this strategic growth, Heartland Dental will have expanded geographical reach and operational resources to deliver unparalleled value and support to doctors and their teams across the nation. We look forward to supporting the great doctors in these offices, building upon their legacies while continuing to grow our specialty model."

Continuing to build the strongest affiliations in the industry

• V2 Family Dentistry and V2 Dentistry – a hallmark of world-class care in the greater Portland, Oregon market, added 2 supported offices
• Princeton Dental – A 20 operatory and multi-specialty practice based in Loganville, Georgia with 5 supported doctors

Rise of DeNovos
Since the start of the year, Heartland Dental has collaborated in opening 12 de novo practices in exciting markets such as Phoenix, Arizona; Charlotte, North Carolina; Firestone, Colorado; Richmond, Texas; Woodstock, IL; and more.

With supporting de novo practices, Heartland Dental has focused efforts on supporting the expansion of the availability of quality care in high growth markets.

Heartland Dental delivers winning model for non-clinical services to supported practices
Heartland Dental supported doctors have the opportunity to access world-class administrative support, resources, and non-clinical services. This includes options to access the nation's largest, operational and leadership training infrastructure, leading talent acquisition and HR support, state-of-the-art equipment including digital workflows and scanning, best-in-class operations systems and support, and more.

"Heartland Dental's support model and service offerings are a differentiator and continue to drive our growth. Affiliated doctors retain clinical autonomy in their practices, and we provide supported dentists, hygienists, and their teams with comprehensive non-clinical administrative support which helps them focus on what matters most – their patients," said Mark Greenstein, Executive Vice President and Chief Growth Officer for Heartland Dental. "As we look ahead, Heartland Dental will continue to provide supported doctors and team members opportunities to grow personally and professionally and support in securing their legacies in the communities they serve."
