Neighborhood Dental

What Neighborhood Dental does

Neighborhood Dental is a privately-held, multi-location dental practice network headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, operating nine clinics across South Dakota and Nebraska. Founded in 2004, the company serves families and individuals seeking comprehensive oral healthcare, including routine preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, restorative procedures, emergency services, sedation dentistry, orthodontics, dental implants, and wisdom-tooth removal. The practice differentiates through same-day crown capabilities enabled by CEREC CAD/CAM technology, digital impressions and scans, digital X-rays, nitrous oxide sedation, and a "Dentistry without Delay" philosophy emphasizing on-time appointments, walk-in availability, and same-day emergency access.

The company delivers care across a unified portfolio of services spanning family dentistry (exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, oral cancer screenings), cosmetic dentistry (smile design, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners), restorative dentistry (CEREC same-day crowns, crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, extractions, dental implants, dentures), emergency dentistry, sedation dentistry, and orthodontics including traditional metal braces. Clinical technology includes CEREC chairside milling, digital impressions, and digital X-rays, supported by patient-facing tools such as the Smile Reminder online scheduling platform and Roadside Connect digital intake. The company has executed inorganic growth via acquisition (Wehrkamp Dentistry was acquired in September 2023 and rebranded as Neighborhood Dental Brandon) and has broadened its service line, notably launching traditional orthodontic braces at the 41st Street location in January 2026.

Neighborhood Dental generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service dental care reimbursed via insurance and out-of-pocket patient payments, complemented by an in-house Dental Savings Plan with annual subscription tiers ranging from $325 (Individual Child) to $1,115 (Family of three or more, plus $315 per additional member). Patient financing is facilitated through partnerships with Cherry Financing, Sunbit, and CareCredit. The practice reaches consumers through multi-channel marketing spanning Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, blog content, a $50-credit "Share a Smile" patient referral program, and online scheduling. It maintains an active roster of approximately 20 dentists across locations and is HIPAA-compliant under a Notice of Privacy Practices effective February 2026.
