The Kids’ Dentist

What The Kids’ Dentist does

The Kids' Dentist of Washington is a privately-held pediatric dental practice group operating four locations across the Puget Sound region of Washington State: Renton (headquarters), Renton Highlands, Gig Harbor, and Silverdale. The practice provides comprehensive oral health care for patients from infancy through age 21, including preventive services (examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative procedures (fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, space maintainers), sedation dentistry (nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia), emergency dental care, and specialized laser-based tongue and lip tie release procedures. Clinical technology centers on low-radiation digital radiographs (over 90% radiation reduction versus film) and laser frenectomy, supported by an ocean-themed, child-focused office environment designed to reduce patient anxiety.

The practice is staffed entirely by board-certified pediatric dentists — including founder/owner Dr. Brian Dansie (pediatric residency at Nationwide Children's Hospital), partner Dr. Jared Roberts, and associates Dr. Krisha Misa, Dr. Elaha Bashizada, and Dr. Tiffany Jacobs — each holding 2-3 years of additional specialty training beyond dental school. Business operations are direct-to-consumer: families book appointments online or by phone and receive in-person care at owned facilities. Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis, with the practice participating as a PPO provider for ten major dental insurance carriers (Aetna, Ameritas, Assurant, Delta Dental, Guardian, MetLife, Premera, Principal, Regence, and Cigna) and offering payment programs for uninsured patients. Administrative technology includes Modento for online payments and PatientConnect365 for digital patient intake forms.

The business is founder-owned (Dr. Brian Dansie acquired the original 40+ year-old Renton practice in 2015) with no institutional capital, no parent holding company, and no PE/VC backing. Subsequent growth has been achieved through de novo expansion (Gig Harbor, 2018) and tuck-in acquisitions of retiring solo practitioners (Highlands, 2020; plus Silverdale), resulting in a multi-site group that has been recognized as the region's top pediatric dentist for 13 consecutive years (2013-2025) by Seattle Magazine and repeatedly by Seattle Met.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Heartland Dental: Largest dental support organization in the U.S., supporting thousands of practices including family and specialty offices. Comparable as a scaled operating model and platform for provider-led dental groups, though it covers general dentistry far more broadly than pediatric specialty.
• Smile Brands Inc. Multi-brand dental support organization operating hundreds of locations across the U.S. Provides a relevant benchmark for the consolidation, branding, and operating leverage available to a growing multi-location dental group.
• Aspen Dental Management: Large national dental service organization supporting many branded and partner practices. Comparable as a scaled dental operating platform, even though its core focus is general dentistry rather than pediatric specialty.
• Pacific Dental Services: Large national dental support organization with hundreds of supported practices, including pediatric offerings. Relevant as a comparison point for the multi-location dental group operating model and as a potential strategic acquirer of independent pediatric groups.

Direct peers

• Must Love Kids Pediatric Dentistry: Multi-location pediatric dental group practice serving the Pacific Northwest (Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR). Comparable in target demographic (infants through adolescents), multi-location operating model, board-certified pediatric dentistry focus, and family-anchored brand positioning in the same PNW market.
• Sea Grape Pediatric Dentistry: Independently owned pediatric dental practice in the Pacific Northwest delivering the full preventive-restorative-sedation menu to children, with similar child-friendly environment design and insurance-based billing model. Directly comparable in scope of services and patient demographic.
• Pediatric Dental Associates: Multi-location pediatric dental group practice offering preventive, restorative, and sedation services for children across several offices. Directly comparable in operating scope, patient demographic, and multi-location group structure.

Regional players

• Children's Dental Center: Regional pediatric dental group operating multiple offices in non-PNW markets (e.g., Southern California), delivering pediatric dental, sedation, and orthodontic services. Comparable as a similarly sized multi-office pediatric specialty group with a child-only focus.
