Bosma Dental

What Bosma Dental does

Bosma Dental is a privately held, single-location general and cosmetic dental practice headquartered at 2600 DeKalb Ave, Sycamore, Illinois, serving the Sycamore and DeKalb communities. Founded in its current form in 2015 when Drs. Kellen and Ramona Bosma acquired the practice from Drs. Chulick and Currey, the practice is entirely founder-owned with no institutional investment. The clinical offering spans preventive care (cleanings, periodontal services), restorative procedures (implants, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, dentures, gold restorations), cosmetic dentistry (porcelain veneers, bonding, inlays/onlays, teeth whitening, clear aligners), and specialized treatments (pediatric dentistry with guided growth/arch expansion, TMJ disorder treatment as an orthopedic joint, and airway-focused sleep-disordered breathing therapy). The practice operates a fully digital workflow encompassing digital check-in, scheduling, X-rays, intraoral impressions, and 3D imaging used for TMJ and airway evaluation, alongside medical-grade HEPA filtration, UV-C disinfection, and negative-pressure treatment rooms.

The practice monetizes primarily through fee-for-service per-procedure billing, supplemented by a recurring-revenue Bosma Dental Savings Plan — an annual membership offering preventative care and treatment discounts as an insurance alternative for uninsured patients. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: patients self-select services via the website contact form (with interest categories including implants, whitening, braces, cosmetic, root canals, extractions, dentures, periodontal) or by phone, with a scheduling coordinator confirming appointments. The practice employs approximately 10-15 staff across two dentists, multiple hygienists (Katie, Nancy, Patience), dental assistants (Lisa, Jessica, Vanessa, Jai, Darien, Sam), and front office personnel (Maggie, Ruth, Carla). Distribution is anchored on a single physical location, supported by organic channels (website, Facebook, search engine, word-of-mouth referrals), with a multi-disciplinary referral network spanning ENTs, sleep physicians, surgeons, and myofunctional therapists for sleep-breathing and tongue-tie cases.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Heartland Dental: Heartland Dental is the largest U.S. dental support organization (DSO) supporting thousands of general and specialty dental offices nationwide. It is comparable to Bosma Dental as a competing delivery model for general/cosmetic dentistry, though it operates at vastly greater scale and through affiliated rather than founder-owned practices.
• Aspen Dental: Aspen Dental is a large DSO-branded network of general dental practices offering implants, dentures, clear aligners, and restorative care. It competes for the same suburban American dental patient that Bosma Dental serves (implants, dentures, clear braces, extractions) but at a national marketing and scale footprint.
• Pacific Dental Services: Pacific Dental Services supports hundreds of general and specialty dental practices across the U.S. with modern, digitally enabled workflows. It is comparable to Bosma Dental in delivering comprehensive general/cosmetic/specialty dentistry through supported offices, but at materially larger scale and with a different ownership model.

Direct peers

• Great Expressions Dental Centers: Great Expressions Dental Centers is a DSO-affiliated network of general and specialty dental offices offering preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic services. It directly competes with Bosma Dental in the multi-service family/cosmetic dentistry category and shares a similar full-service positioning (implants, clear aligners, endodontics, periodontics).
• Affordable Dentures & Implants: Affordable Dentures & Implants operates a national network of dental practices focused on extractions, dentures, and implants. It overlaps directly with Bosma Dental's denture, extraction, and implant service lines and competes for value-conscious dental patients in similar suburban markets.

Emerging players

• Vivos Therapeutics: Vivos Therapeutics provides airway-focused dental appliances and treatment protocols for obstructive sleep apnea and craniofacial development, primarily through a network of trained dentists. It is comparable to Bosma Dental's airway growth and development offering and directly competes for patients seeking non-CPAP sleep-disordered-breathing solutions.
• SmileDirectClub: SmileDirectClub sold direct-to-consumer clear aligner therapy, positioning itself as a lower-cost alternative to dentist-supervised orthodontics. It is comparable to Bosma Dental as a competing channel for clear-aligner orthodontic treatment, though it bypasses the in-office dentist visit.

Others

• Align Technology (Invisalign): Align Technology manufactures the Invisalign clear aligner system used by dentists and orthodontists worldwide. It is comparable to Bosma Dental as the technology supplier enabling the practice's clear braces offering, rather than a direct service competitor.
