Ladd Dental pivoting to the Latest Cloud Based Dental Management Software: Denticon

Ladd Dental Group is excited to announce that we are switching dental management software systems, in order to provide better comprehensive dental care to our patients. Today is training session number three, and we go live with the new software program starting on Monday, 12/11. Our new software package will allow all of our offices with access to each of our six General practice's schedules, as well as our Oral Surgery Center schedule and our Periodontist's schedule. Changing software programs is never easy, but long term our patients are going to benefit exponentially. The new software program is called Denticon, and it was created by Planet DDS! Everybody here at Ladd is excited for this transition, and we cant wait for our patients to experience the benefits that this new system provides!

Planet DDS has been providing cloud-based dental practice management software for over a decade. And that’s a good thing, because it takes a lot of actual user experience to refine functionality to the point we’ve achieved today. They also performed thousands of data conversions for practices that switched over to Denticon from a legacy solution, which has allowed them to fine-tune our on-boarding process. Every day, thousands of users log into Denticon to help run their practices. No matter how well capitalized or how big the software vendor, there is no substitute for hard-earned experience in the cloud. Collectively, their management team has over a century of experience in the dental industry, having started six individual dental ventures. Their experience ranges from the technical to the clinical with dental professionals contributing to every design and functionality decision.

Once we are live with Denticon, our patients will be able to schedule their appointments in REAL Time, without having to call or contact our office. This is just one of the many capabilities that Denticon will provide to our Ladd family of patients!

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...
