Why We Are Proud to Stay In-Network with Dental Insurance Plans for Indiana Families

 Here at LADD Dental Group, we have always believed that every family deserves access to high-quality dental care. Since opening our doors in 1978, our mission has remained simple: family serving families. That commitment is one of the biggest reasons we proudly remain in-network with many major dental insurance plans, including Indiana Medicaid and Managed Care dental programs.

While many dental practices across the country have chosen to leave insurance networks, we've made the decision to continue working alongside insurance providers because we know it makes a meaningful difference for the patients and communities we serve throughout North Central Indiana.

Putting Patients Before Profit

Healthcare can be complicated enough without patients worrying about whether they can afford essential dental treatment. Remaining in-network helps reduce financial barriers and gives families greater confidence when scheduling the care they need.

Whether it's a child's first dental visit, a routine cleaning, treatment for a painful tooth, or a complete smile restoration, we want our patients to focus on their health—not unexpected costs.

Our goal has never been to create obstacles. Our goal is to create smiles.

Proud to Serve Indiana Medicaid and Managed Care Patients

We are especially proud to continue accepting Indiana Medicaid and Managed Care dental plans.

For many children, adults, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, these programs provide an essential pathway to receiving preventive and restorative dental care. Unfortunately, finding providers who continue to participate in these networks has become increasingly difficult.

We believe our communities deserve better.

By continuing to participate, we're helping ensure that thousands of Indiana families have access to compassionate, comprehensive dental care close to home.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and the highest standard of care—regardless of the insurance card in their wallet.

Building Long-Term Relationships

One of the greatest compliments we receive is when multiple generations of a family trust us with their dental care.

Grandparents bring their children.

Those children grow up and bring their own families.

Those lifelong relationships are built on trust, consistency, and accessibility.

Remaining in-network helps us continue caring for families throughout every stage of life without forcing them to find a new dental home because of insurance changes.

Supporting Healthier Communities

Healthy smiles create healthier communities.

Preventive dental care reduces pain, improves confidence, supports overall health, helps children succeed in school, and allows adults to stay healthy and productive.

When more families have access to affordable dental care, everyone benefits.

That's why we're proud to continue partnering with insurance providers, employers, Medicaid, and Managed Care organizations to improve access to oral healthcare across North Central Indiana.

Our Commitment

At LADD Dental Group, our commitment has never changed.

We believe excellent dentistry should be accessible, compassionate, and centered around the patient.

Remaining in-network with dental insurance—including Indiana Medicaid and Managed Care—is one way we continue honoring that promise.

To every patient and family who has trusted us with your smiles over the years: thank you.

It is our privilege to serve you, and we look forward to continuing to care for your family for generations to come.

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...
