What it's All About | Abacus Early Learning Center Westfield

 Today was a special opportunity for our LADD Dental Group family as we had the chance to spend time with the wonderful students and teachers at Abacus Early Learning Center in Westfield.

We truly enjoyed the opportunity to speak with the students, get to know the teachers, and share a little bit about what we do in dentistry and why taking care of our communities is so important to us.

One of the things we love most about being part of a family-run dental organization is that our work extends far beyond the four walls of our dental offices. It is about people, relationships, education, and investing in the communities we are fortunate enough to serve.

Spending time with young children is always a great reminder of the importance of making healthcare approachable and positive from an early age. Creating good experiences and helping children understand the importance of taking care of their teeth can help establish healthy habits that last a lifetime.

We are also incredibly grateful for the teachers and staff at Abacus Early Learning Center. The work they do every day to educate, encourage, and care for our youngest community members is incredibly meaningful. Their dedication makes a lasting difference in the lives of so many families.

At LADD Dental Group, we believe in "family serving families," and opportunities like today are a wonderful reflection of that philosophy.

Thank you to everyone at Abacus Early Learning Center for welcoming us into your school and allowing us to spend some time with your students and teachers. We had a fantastic time and are grateful for the opportunity to build relationships right here in the Westfield community!

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do — and we are grateful for every opportunity to strengthen them.

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...
