Our Story
Founded in 2020, we set out to build a best in class privately owned and operated dental service organization. Many of us worked for corporate dentistry and did not like that healthcare/dental decisions were being made by non-dentists. We have no investor funding or shareholders, therefore we are able to focus on employee and patient satisfaction vs profits.
We are dentist owned and operated unlike the majority of the large dental groups in the Illinois market.
We put people and patients before profits. Our dentists are the leaders of each practice and have full autonomy over patient treatment plans.
