Our Story

We are a group of seasoned professionals with a combined 45+ years of experience in the dental space. Over the course of our careers we have spent our time working in group dentistry; building companies, growing practices and implementing structure, in group and corporate dental settings. We decided that there had to be a better way to serve dental practices and wanted to change the narrative.

What if we could build a management group who could support private practices, without those practices sacrificing their career, team, or culture of their practice? We have spoken with so many practices that do not want to sell to a corporate entity but could use some support to spend more time with patients (improving revenue and patient satisfaction) and less time on the management tasks. We are offering a management as a service model that allows practices to gain the support provided by corporate entities, while maintaining the individuality and control of their practice.

At Ascend Dental Alliance, our core mission is to serve as an indispensable support system, elevating teams and empowering dental practices to create phenomenal workplaces and cultivate thriving cultures.
