Associate dentist partnerships
Our partnership program gives associate dentists a clear, supported path to ownership in an established practice, without having to build a business from scratch.
Why partner with us
Starting a practice means taking on debt, a lease, staffing, billing, marketing and compliance, often all at once. Buying one carries its own risk. Our associate partnership model lets you grow into ownership step by step, in a practice with patients, a team and systems already in place.
You lead the dentistry. We bring the business infrastructure, data and experience of a dentist-founded support organization.
Full clinical autonomy from day one, with a real stake in what you help build.
The path to ownership
Every dentist's timeline is different. Milestones are set together and reviewed openly.
Associate
Join an affiliated practice, build your patient base and practice the scope of dentistry you want.
Lead dentist
Take on clinical leadership, mentor the team and get full visibility into practice performance.
Partner
Buy into the practice through a partnership structure designed around your goals and finances.
Owner
Grow, expand or lead the practice outright, while we continue to run the business operations.

Who it's for
- Associate dentists who want ownership without starting from zero

- Clinicians who value independence and want to practice their own way
- Practice owners looking to bring in a partner or plan a transition
Do I need to bring capital to start?
No upfront buy-in is required to join as an associate. Partnership buy-in options are discussed individually and structured around your goals and financial situation.
Will I keep control of clinical decisions?
Yes. Clinical independence is core to how we work. You decide on treatment and the scope of dentistry you practice. We support the business side.
How long does the path to partnership take?
It depends on the practice and on you. We set clear milestones together at the start and review progress openly along the way.
Where are the opportunities?
Opportunities come up across our affiliated practices in Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina and Texas. See our locations, then reach out and we'll share what's available.
I own a practice. Is this relevant to me?
Yes. If you're thinking about selling, bringing in an associate partner or investing, our network can help you find the right collaborator and structure.
