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."

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.

Heartland Dental delivers winning model for non-clinical services to supported practices
