Dental Community | Group Dentistry

 At LADD Dental Group, we often talk about what it means to provide the gold standard in group dentistry. While that standard is reflected in our clinical excellence, technology, and team culture, the truth is—it’s not something we achieve alone.

Behind every great dental organization is a network of trusted partners who elevate what’s possible. Today, we want to take a moment to recognize and express our gratitude for the dental community partners we lean on every day.

Stronger Together

Group dentistry thrives on collaboration. Internally, that means aligning doctors, hygienists, assistants, and support teams around a shared mission. Externally, it means building meaningful relationships with industry partners who help us stay ahead of the curve.

From supply and equipment partners like Patterson, lab partners like Dandy or technology providers like Planmeca, and continuing education leaders like Accelerated Academy—these relationships allow us to deliver a level of care that simply wouldn’t be possible in isolation.

Innovation That Drives Better Patient Outcomes

Dentistry is evolving rapidly, and our partners play a critical role in helping us bring the latest advancements to our patients.

Whether it’s digital scanning, AI-powered diagnostics, clear aligner solutions, or cutting-edge equipment, we rely on partners who are committed to innovation just as much as we are. Their expertise and support ensure that our patients receive modern, efficient, and highly personalized care.

It’s not just about having the newest tools—it’s about having the right partners to help us implement them the right way.

Education and Growth

We’re especially grateful for the educators and thought leaders in our space who invest in the growth of our doctors and teams.

Programs, trainings, and collaborative learning opportunities push us to continuously improve. They challenge us to think differently, refine our systems, and ultimately become better providers and leaders.

In group dentistry, that commitment to growth compounds across the entire organization—benefiting every patient we serve.

Shared Values Matter

The partnerships we value most go beyond transactions. They are built on shared values—integrity, service, innovation, and a genuine commitment to improving patient care.

When we align with partners who believe what we believe, it creates a level of trust and synergy that shows up in everything we do. It allows us to move faster, think bigger, and serve better.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To the many partners who support LADD Dental Group—thank you.

Thank you for your expertise, your responsiveness, your innovation, and your belief in what we’re building. Thank you for helping us create an environment where our teams can thrive and our patients can receive the care they deserve.

The gold standard in dentistry isn’t built by one team alone—it’s built by a community.

And we’re incredibly grateful to be part of it.

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...
