Alpha Dental

What Alpha Dental does

Alpha Dental is a privately held, single-location dental practice operating in Clarksville, Tennessee, founded in 2000 and organized as a for-profit dental service provider. The practice delivers comprehensive oral healthcare across preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency categories to local individuals and families of all ages. Clinical staffing comprises two dentists (Dr. Zachary Meyer, DDS; Dr. Collin Bryant, DDS), two dental hygienists, two dental assistants, and four administrative personnel. The practice is direct-to-consumer and primarily serves the Clarksville trade area, with marketing concentrated on local SEO, the smileclarksville.com website, Google reviews (900+ positive), and grassroots community partnerships with Montgomery County Schools, Project Yesu, and the Interfaith Dental Clinic.

The clinical platform is built around modern dental hardware and software: CEREC CAD/CAM for chairside same-day ceramic crowns, inlays, and onlays; Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for 3D diagnostic imaging; digital radiography reported at up to 90% lower radiation than film; a digital intraoral camera; and soft tissue laser technology supporting blood-free, suture-free procedures including cold sore treatment. The service menu spans routine checkups, cleanings, sealants, pediatric dentistry, periodontal treatment, sedation dentistry, dental implants, dentures, root canals, bone grafting, oral surgery, SureSmile clear aligners, veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. Same-day appointment slots are reserved for dental emergencies.

Revenue is generated through four mechanisms: fee-for-service payments for procedures, third-party insurance claim submission across ten accepted carriers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Humana, Ameritas, Principal, Guardian, Sun Life, Assurant), an in-house Kleer-powered subscription membership plan with three tiers (Adult Complete at $30/month or $360/year, Child Complete at $23/month or $276/year, Perio at $49/month or $588/year), and patient-financing partnerships with CareCredit and Cherry. No external funding, M&A activity, or multi-site footprint has been disclosed.
