As we look toward the future, one thing is clear—our ability to grow and scale isn’t just dependent on what we do internally. It’s directly tied to the strength of the partnerships we build and the people who stand alongside us.
Growth Doesn’t Happen in Isolation
Over the past several years, we’ve experienced significant growth—adding practices, welcoming new doctors, and serving thousands of new patients across Indiana. But none of that has happened in a vacuum.
Dentistry today is more complex than ever. Clinical excellence is just one piece of the puzzle. Technology, operations, staffing, patient financing, education, and infrastructure all play critical roles. To truly scale a modern dental organization, you need partners who are exceptional in their lanes—and aligned with your mission.
Partnering with People Who Do It Right
We’ve been intentional about who we choose to work with. Not just vendors, but true partners—organizations that share our belief in long-term thinking, integrity, and continuous improvement.
- Dandy has helped us reimagine the lab experience—bringing speed, precision, and digital integration that elevates both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
- Patterson Dental continues to be a cornerstone partner, helping us build out world-class operatories and equipping our teams with the tools they need to succeed.
- Accelerated Dental Academy plays a critical role in expanding clinical capabilities—allowing our doctors to grow their skillsets and better serve patients in-house.
- Ivy Tech represents the future of our workforce. Investing in relationships with educational institutions ensures we are helping develop the next generation of dental professionals.
- BioHorizons supports our implant workflows with high-quality products and education, enabling us to deliver life-changing dentistry with confidence.
- AirPay enhances the financial experience for our patients—simplifying payments and reducing friction at one of the most important touchpoints in the patient journey.
- Overjet adds a powerful layer of clinical intelligence—leveraging AI to support diagnosis, improve case acceptance, and create greater transparency for both patients and providers.
- Peoplr LLC helps us navigate one of the most important (and challenging) aspects of growth—finding and retaining the right people.
- Planet DDS powers our operational backbone, giving us the data and systems we need to scale intelligently and stay connected across locations.
- Brightworks Group LLC brings strategic IT insight and execution support, cybersecurity protection, and helping us think bigger and move faster with clarity.
Alignment Over Convenience
Not every partnership is the right partnership. As we’ve grown, we’ve learned to prioritize alignment over convenience.
We look for organizations that:
- Put the dental patient first
- Invest in innovation
- Support our dental teams, not just sell to them
- Stand behind their product and their people
- Continuously evolve
Because at the end of the day, our name is on every patient experience. The partners we choose directly impact that experience.
Building Something That Lasts
At LADD Dental Group, we’re not just trying to grow for growth’s sake. We’re building something that lasts—an organization that supports dentists, empowers teams, and delivers exceptional care to every community we serve.
That kind of vision requires humility. It requires knowing that we don’t have all the answers—and surrounding ourselves with people who help us get better every day.
The future of LADD Dental Group will be built not just by what we do, but by who we do it with.
And we’re incredibly grateful to be on that journey with partners who believe in doing things the right way.
