Bullish on the State of Indiana & our Operational Density in the Hoosier State

 At LADD Dental Group, our roots run deep in Indiana. We’ve spent decades growing, serving, and investing in communities across the state, and we’re more bullish than ever on Indiana’s potential. As a company, we believe in operational density, strategic expansion, and strengthening our impact in the Hoosier State. Here’s why our commitment to Indiana is stronger than ever.

A Thriving Healthcare Ecosystem

Indiana continues to be a powerhouse for healthcare innovation and patient-focused care. From leading dental technology to advanced training opportunities, the state provides a thriving environment for dental professionals to grow and serve. Our partnership with industry leaders like Overjet AI and our investment in cutting-edge equipment, such as the A-dec 500 chairs at our McCordsville office, further underscore our dedication to bringing world-class dental care to Indiana communities.

Expanding Our Operational Density

We firmly believe in the power of operational density—building a strong presence in key markets to create efficiencies and enhance patient access. With multiple locations across Indiana, including our most recent expansion in Huntington, we’ve positioned ourselves as a trusted dental provider statewide. Our continued growth allows us to deliver consistent, high-quality care while fostering strong local relationships that enhance our impact.

Supporting Indiana’s Economy & Workforce

As a family-run organization, we take pride in creating career opportunities for Indiana’s dental professionals. Over the past eight years, we’ve acquired three new practices and hired more than ten new doctors. By investing in our dental team, we ensure that our patients receive top-tier care from skilled and passionate professionals who are committed to their communities.

Community-Centered Growth

Being bullish on Indiana means more than just expanding our footprint—it means actively supporting the communities we serve. Whether through our sponsorship of Huntington University’s Triple Shot Challenge, our participation in local school events like Holy Cross Lutheran’s Elegant Evening Gala, or our Scan & Save events that make treatment more accessible, we believe in giving back.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Dentistry in Indiana

We see tremendous opportunity for continued growth in Indiana. The demand for high-quality, patient-centered dental care is stronger than ever, and we are committed to meeting that need. With strategic expansions, innovative technology, and a steadfast commitment to our patients, LADD Dental Group is poised to continue leading the way in Hoosier dental care

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.

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...
