What 1500 DENTAL does

1500 Dental is a privately-held, single-location family dental practice headquartered at 1500 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serving patients across Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Victoria Park, and Oakland Park. Founded in 2010 and operating with a team of approximately 25 dental professionals, the practice delivers a comprehensive range of services under one roof, including routine preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, Invisalign clear-aligner orthodontics, traditional braces, periodontics, prosthodontics, sedation dentistry, oral surgery, root canals, and restorative procedures (crowns, bridges, dentures).

The clinical capability stack combines general dentists with in-house specialists (orthodontist, periodontist, prosthodontist, oral surgeon), supported by digital imaging hardware including Align Technology's iTero scanner for Invisalign workflows, digital X-rays, and 3D scans. Sedation capability spans nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, addressing anxious-patient and complex-procedure segments. A $89 new-patient special (exam, X-rays, cleaning, take-home whitening, hygiene kit) is used as an entry-point acquisition offer, complemented by an active digital marketing presence across Instagram, Facebook, SEO-optimized local content, online booking, and virtual consultations.

The business model is fee-for-service with multiple payment-access levers: direct payment, dental insurance processing, Medicare coverage for eligible patients, and installment financing through Sunbit, CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and Lending Club. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer via local search, social channels, and reputation (700+ reviews), with no disclosed institutional ownership, external funding, or multi-site footprint. Revenue and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed, consistent with a privately-operated local services business.
