Relationships > Everything | Grateful For Our Dentists

At LADD Dental Group, we believe dentistry has always been about more than teeth. It is about people.

Every day, our dentists have the opportunity to build relationships with patients and families that can last for years—even generations. We believe those relationships are one of the most important parts of providing exceptional dental care.

Dentistry Is Personal

Going to the dentist can feel intimidating for many people. Patients are trusting us with their health, their smiles, their concerns, and often their fears. That trust cannot be built with technology or procedures alone. It is built through genuine relationships.

Our dentists take the time to listen. They get to know their patients, understand their goals, answer questions, and help them feel comfortable. Over time, those conversations create something incredibly valuable: trust.

And when patients trust their dentist, they are more likely to take an active role in their oral health and feel confident about the care they receive.

We Are Grateful for Our Dentists

We are incredibly grateful for the dentists who choose to be part of LADD Dental Group.

Our dentists bring different experiences, personalities, backgrounds, and clinical strengths to our organization, but they share something that matters deeply to us: a genuine desire to serve their patients and communities.

They show up every day ready to care for families. They celebrate with patients when treatment changes their confidence. They comfort patients when they are nervous. They help children develop positive relationships with dentistry. They work through complicated cases and continue learning so they can provide better care.

Most importantly, they understand that every patient who sits in their chair is a person—not just an appointment on the schedule.

Family Serving Families

Our philosophy at LADD Dental Group has always been “family serving families.”

That philosophy extends far beyond the walls of our offices. We want our practices to feel like places where patients know their dentist, recognize their team, and feel genuinely cared for.

Some of our most meaningful relationships are with families who have trusted us for decades. We are fortunate to care for parents, children, grandparents, and sometimes multiple generations of the same family.

That is something we never take for granted.

The Dentist-Patient Relationship Matters

Clinical excellence will always be important to us. We want our dentists to have the training, technology, mentorship, and resources necessary to provide outstanding care.

But we also believe the best dentistry happens when clinical excellence is combined with compassion and trust.

That relationship can change the way someone views dentistry—and ultimately change their health.

We are incredibly thankful for our dentists, our dental teams, and every patient who places their trust in LADD Dental Group.

At the end of the day, dentistry is about people. And we believe the relationships we build with our patients are the most important part of what we do.

2026 Dental Office Data | Struggling Performance Continues

 Over the past decade, the dental industry experienced an unprecedented wave of consolidation. Private equity capital flowed into the profession, Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) expanded rapidly, and large multi-location platforms became a major force in the market. Recently, however, two major organizations— Dental Care Alliance and Affordable Care —have reportedly been taken over by their lenders following financial restructuring challenges. For many in the profession, this raises an important question: What does this mean for the future of dentistry ? The answer is nuanced, but it may signal a turning point for how dental organizations are built and financed going forward. The End of the “Growth at Any Cost” Era For many DSOs, the growth strategy of the past decade was simple: acquire as many practices as possible as quickly as possible. Low interest rates and strong investor appetite made this strategy viable. Debt financing allowed organizations to purchase pract...

Affordable Care Restructure | 2026 Dental Industry Impacts

 The convergence of Affordable Care’s restructuring and broader financial strain across large DSOs is more than an isolated credit event — it’s a signal of structural pressure in the dental industry. Below is a strategic, operator-level view of the impacts likely to unfold. 1) Capital structure stress → Slower DSO expansion & recap cycles Affordable Care’s restructuring is largely debt-driven: The company is working with turnaround advisers after a $2.7B leveraged buyout left it with expensive floating-rate debt. Rising interest rates materially increased debt service costs. This dynamic is industry-wide: Many DSOs and small groups financed growth with variable debt that has jumped from ~4% to 10%+ interest costs. Some platforms have been unable to recapitalize amid economic uncertainty. Impacts Fewer aggressive roll-ups and de novo expansions Lower EBITDA multiples on acquisitions More minority recap deals vs. full exits Delayed liquidity e...
