Today's Dental Network

What Today's Dental Network does

Today's Dental Network (TDN) is a dental service organization (DSO) headquartered in Tampa, Florida, that operates a multi-specialty network of approximately 33 dental practices across West Central Florida. Founded in 2018 by three dentists — Kevin Krause, Ryan Taylor, and Karen Varone — and backed since July 2021 by healthcare-focused private equity firms HealthEdge Investment Partners and Synergistic Capital Partners, TDN provides general dentistry plus six specialty verticals: pediatric dentistry, periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, and oral surgery. The platform serves 25,000+ active patients across 25+ offices and 140 operatories, supported by 35 dentists, 120 clinical staff, and 270 total associates, with a reported 94% Net Promoter Score.

The company's underlying technology stack includes advanced 3D printing with full-arch capabilities, computer-guided implant surgery, CT scans with 3D X-ray imaging, CAD/CAM systems for dental restorations, 3-Shape TRIOS4 digital impression scanners, and a full-service in-house dental lab capable of milling permanent crowns, implants, and removable prosthetics. TDN also operates The Chasolen Education & Research Center for continuing clinical education and a centralized back-office layer covering payer contract negotiation, finance and accounting, HR, marketing, IT, and purchasing.

TDN's business model operates on two revenue streams: (1) managed services revenue via management fees and support contracts with affiliated dental practices that join the network, and (2) transaction-fee revenue from direct patient care billed through insurance and out-of-pocket payments. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting established dental practice owners seeking administrative relief, growth capital, and a multi-specialty referral network while retaining clinical autonomy. Partner practices keep their legacy brands under a doctor-led operating model, with TDN executing a buy-build-grow playbook of acquisitions across Florida.
