Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

What Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics does

Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics (CPDO) is a private, dual-specialty dental practice headquartered at 1136 S Delano Ct b202 in the Roosevelt Collection, South Loop, Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2018, the practice operates a single physical location serving the Chicago metropolitan area and is co-owned by board-certified pediatric dentists Dr. Justin and Dr. Bindi alongside board-certified orthodontist Dr. Dale. The business employs 11-50 staff across clinical and administrative functions, with the clinical team having expanded from the three co-founders to seven doctors.

The practice's core offerings span two integrated service lines: pediatric dentistry for infants through teens (checkups, cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, sedation dentistry, special needs dentistry, same-day emergency care, laser frenectomy for lip and tongue ties, and all-digital X-ray diagnostics) and orthodontics for children, teens, and adults (traditional braces, clear/ceramic braces, InSmile lingual braces, same-day in-house clear aligners, Phase 1 early intervention orthodontics, dentofacial orthopedics, and airway-conscious orthodontics). Supporting technology includes all-digital radiography, laser systems for frenectomy, and an orthodontic practice management platform (Ortho2) used for online bill pay and appointment workflows.

The revenue model is fee-for-service clinical care billed per visit or per treatment course, with the practice processing claims for most dental insurance plans and offering in-house payment plans. Customer acquisition combines direct-to-consumer channels (website appointment requests, Google and Yelp reviews, Instagram and Facebook organic social, YouTube video testimonials, Saturday-hour scheduling) with a formal dentist referral program and community involvement with Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, St. Jude's Hospital, and the Evans Scholar Foundation. CPDO is an independent, practitioner-owned business with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent company involvement.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Imagen Dental Partners: Specialty-focused DSO partnering with endodontic, periodontic, orthodontic, and pediatric dental practices. Comparable specialty service mix and partner-style affiliation model relevant to a growing single-site specialty practice.
• Smile Doctors: Largest ortho-focused DSO in the US, operating multi-location orthodontic clinics with similar treatment menus (braces, clear aligners, lingual). Directly comparable in service mix though larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Specialty Dental Brands: DSO specifically focused on pediatric dentistry and orthodontic specialty practices. Closely comparable in specialty mix and target demographic, and could be a partner/acquirer or direct competitor for specialty talent and patients.

Broad incumbents

• Great Expressions Dental Centers: Multi-specialty DSO with strong pediatric dentistry and orthodontic offerings across multiple states. Overlaps on pediatric + ortho service model and multi-provider structure but operates at much larger scale as a DSO.
• Heartland Dental: Largest US DSO supporting general and specialty dental offices. Comparable as an incumbent competitor for talent, patients, and referral sources in Chicago, though its core is general dentistry with ortho as add-on.
• Pacific Dental Services: Large DSO providing supported practice operations across general and specialty dentistry. Represents the broader DSO competitive threat in the Chicago market from which CPDO must differentiate as an independent specialty practice.
• Western Dental: Multi-state DSO offering general dentistry, orthodontics, and pediatric services. Comparable on the combined pediatric + ortho offering, but at significantly larger scale and with a different payor mix.
• North American Dental Group: DSO supporting multi-specialty dental practices. Comparable business model (supported-practice DSO) and overlapping services including pediatric dentistry and orthodontics.

Emerging players

• SmileDirectClub: Direct-to-consumer clear aligner company that has reshaped the adult orthodontic consumer journey. Comparable as a competitor for the adult clear-aligner segment, though operates via a fundamentally different (DTC, no in-person clinical) model.

Others

• Align Technology: Manufacturer of the Invisalign clear aligner system and iTero scanners. Comparable as the underlying technology supplier and ecosystem shaper for CPDO's in-house clear aligner offering, and an indirect force on adult ortho pricing dynamics.
