The practice delivers comprehensive dental care across five service lines: preventive care (exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, sealants, fluoride, periodontal therapy); cosmetic dentistry (Invisalign clear aligners as a Top 1% Diamond Provider with over 730,000 cumulative cases, veneers, and WhiteNow Smiles professional whitening); restorative dentistry (composite fillings, CEREC same-day crowns, bridges, dentures and partials, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy); oral surgery (Nobel Biocare dental implants, TeethXpress full-mouth implants with a 5-year guarantee, Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafts, IV sedation administered by CRNAs); and sleep apnea oral appliances.

The business operates on a fee-for-service model, accepting most dental insurance plans, offering an in-house Dental Access Membership plan for uninsured patients that creates recurring subscription-like revenue, and providing third-party financing through Sunbit, CareCredit, and LendingPoint to support larger-ticket procedures. Go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer via the practice website, online appointment booking (Hello Patient on tab32), phone scheduling, walk-ins, and a social media presence (Facebook, Instagram), with a secondary B2B referral channel through general dentists and Carolina Orthodontics & Children's Dentistry (COCD) for specialty cases such as implants, oral surgery, and IV sedation. The practice is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investment, or capital markets activity.

Revenue model

1. Fee-for-Service Dental Care: Traditional fee-for-service dental care where patients pay for individual procedures at point of service. The practice accepts most dental insurance plans as an in-network or participating provider, with patients responsible for copays and uncovered services. This is the primary revenue stream covering all clinical services from cleanings to oral surgery.
2. Dental Membership Plan: In-house Dental Access Membership plan providing discounted preventive and restorative services for uninsured patients. Patients pay a periodic membership fee to access reduced-rate treatments, generating recurring subscription-like revenue while retaining price-sensitive patients.
3. Third-Party Financing: The practice offers financing through Sunbit, CareCredit, and LendingPoint, enabling patients to spread treatment costs over time. While financing fees may flow to the lender, this arrangement expands the practice's addressable market to patients needing premium procedures who cannot pay upfront.

Broad incumbents

• Dental Care Alliance: DSO platform supporting affiliated general and specialty dental practices across multiple U.S. states. Comparable as a multi-state DSO that provides operational support to dental group practices.
• Great Expressions Dental Centers: Multi-state DSO operating a network of general and specialty dental offices under a unified brand. Comparable as a branded, multi-site dental group with insurance-based and in-house membership offerings.
• Aspen Dental: National branded DSO operating Aspen Dental offices focused on general dentistry, dentures, and implants across the U.S. Highly comparable on the multi-location branded dental group model, especially implants and full-arch work.
