Free Smiles Press Release:

Free Smiles by Ladd
Friday Oct. 6th, 8am-4pm
Ladd Dental Group is hosting their 13th annual Free smiles by Ladd Day! Ladd Dental Group’s very own Dr. Newman, Dr. McLellan, Dr. Emerick, Dr. Au-Yeung, and Dr. Tisa & Dr. John Ladd are going to be the attending dentists, and they along with the talented Ladd Dental team, will be seeing patients from 8am-4pm on Friday, October 6th. The Free Smiles by Ladd Event will be taking place at the Ladd Dental Group of Kokomo office, across from Kokomo High School, 2333 West Lincoln Road Kokomo, IN 46902.
Since the inception of Free Smiles by Ladd back in 2005, we have treated over 2,600 patients in the local community. On average, we see around 200 patients per year, so it is very important that the patients most in need of dental care show up to the event on October 6th early. It is a first come, first serve format, so the earlier you arrive at Ladd Dental Group’s Kokomo location, the more likely you are to receive care.
Ladd Dental Group’s dentists, hygienists and staff will provide fillings, extractions and cleanings to as many people as they can see on the day. The care provided is completely FREE. There are no costs to the patients whatsoever. The goal of the event is to help relieve patient’s pain and treat their dental, oral indications. If a patient needs ongoing treatment, he or she will be referred to income-based programs that will assist them in receiving more extensive dental work.
At Ladd Dental Group, we understand the importance of community and helping one’s neighbor. That is why for 13 straight years, we have hosted this awesome local, event! One of our core values at Ladd Dental Group is building relationships with the members of our community by offering local support, and we want to further demonstrate this principle by hosting this Free event once again. I hope the people of Kokomo, Peru and the surrounding areas are as excited about our Free Smiles by Ladd Day as we are!

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...
