The total number of states now served by the Smile Doctors family of affiliated practices climbs to 25, with recent expansion into New Jersey, bringing the number of clinics the OSO represents to 324.

Newly affiliated practices in Q1 2022 include:

  • Paschal Orthodontics (Georgia)

  • Innovative Orthodontics and Center for Dental Health (New Jersey)
  • Beckstrom Orthodontics (Ohio)

Private practices that become part of the Smile Doctors family benefit from economies of scale, gaining access to operational and financial tools that make their practices more efficient and profitable. The benefits enable doctors to focus their attention and expertise on patient experience and outcomes.

“Smile Doctors’ growth is a testament to the partnership approach we take. Our model, as a support system for affiliated practices, is what sets Smile Doctors apart from other DSOs. Newly affiliated practices experience the benefit of maintaining their brand in the local community while achieving economies of scale through a collaborative organization,” said J. Hedrick, chief executive officer of Smile Doctors. “Our doctors and clinic teams can focus on providing exceptional patient care, while the support team concentrates on building and maintaining business functionality.”
