Archway Dental Partners

What Archway Dental Partners does

Archway Dental Partners is a multi-specialty dental partnership organization (DPO) and Dental Support Organization (DSO) headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut. It operates a network of 38 dental practices across Connecticut and New York, supported by more than 100 doctors across general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, and endodontics, and serves over 200,000 patients annually. The company was launched in January 2024 as a growth platform built on the legacy of Dental Associates of Connecticut (founded 1971), with a recapitalization and growth investment from healthcare-focused private equity firms Martis Capital and Din Ventures.

The business model combines a doctor-led partnership structure with centralized DSO support services. Acquired practices retain their local brand identity and clinical autonomy while Archway provides shared infrastructure across operations, human resources, marketing, insurance and billing, procurement, IT, and finance, in exchange for management fees and revenue participation. Revenue is generated through procedure-level patient billing across the practice network (professional services) layered on top of managed services revenue from affiliated practices, with no publicly disclosed consumer pricing. Distribution is primarily through direct field-based business development targeting established, high-performing dental practices for partnership or acquisition, led by CEO Adam Richichi.

The technology stack includes cloud-based practice management software, iTero scanners, CBCT imaging, 3D printing, and stated AI initiatives for clinical outcomes and practice management. Acquired practices are integrated into a multi-specialty care model in which general dentists and specialists operate under one roof, enabling internal referral capture and care coordination. Since launch, the company has executed roughly a dozen disclosed acquisitions through mid-2026, including the September 2025 acquisition of CT Dental Management that made Archway the largest DSO in Connecticut, and has extended into New York with practices in Westchester County.

Product overview

Direct peers

• Dental Care Alliance: Dental support organization serving hundreds of practices across multiple states with general and specialty services. Comparable multi-specialty DSO with similar Northeast footprint and PE-backed growth trajectory.
• Great Expressions Dental Centers: Multi-specialty group dental practice and DSO operating across the Northeast and Southeast US. Comparable specialty mix (ortho, perio, endo, oral surgery) and overlapping geography in the broader New York/New England corridor.
• MB2 Dental: Doctor-owned DSO with a partnership-first model very similar to Archway's dentist-led approach. Direct peer at the same scale band (mid-size, multi-specialty, PE-backed) with overlapping GTM of acquiring partner practices.

Emerging players

• Maya Dental: Midwest dental partnership group previously backed by Din Ventures (one of Archway's investors). Highly comparable doctor-partnership DSO model demonstrating Din Ventures' prior playbook in a neighboring geography.
• US Oral Surgery Management (USOSM): Specialty-only DSO platform focused on oral and maxillofacial surgery, an adjacency Archway highlights. Comparable partner-doctor specialty DSO structure with PE backing and acquisition-led growth.
• United Dental Corporation: Growth-oriented DSO building a multi-specialty network with an acquisition-led model. Similar partner-doctor, multi-specialty positioning but typically operating in different metros than Archway's CT/NY base.

Regional players

• SoCal Dental Partners: Western US-focused DSO with a similar partnership-driven, multi-specialty model acquired through legacy-group roll-ups. Comparable operating philosophy but geographically distant from Archway's Northeast footprint.

Broad incumbents

• The Aspen Group (Aspen Dental): National DSO and multi-specialty dental care provider operating Aspen Dental and ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers across the US. Comparable multi-specialty model with strong Northeast presence; broad incumbent competing for the same partnership pool.
• PDS Health: Pacific Dental Services/PDS Health is a major DSO offering practice management and clinical support across hundreds of offices, increasingly integrating medical-dental primary care. Closely aligned multi-specialty DSO competitor with deeper specialty and medical integration.
• Heartland Dental: Largest US DSO supporting thousands of dental offices nationwide. Directly comparable DSO model serving general and specialty dentistry, with the same managed-services-plus-clinical-autonomy playbook but at vastly greater scale than Archway.
