What MARC S. TARNOPOL D.D.S. does

KB Dental is a privately-held dental practice operating two clinical locations in Oakland County, Michigan: a headquarters at 6615 Commerce Rd. in West Bloomfield Township and a second office at 6649 Rochester Rd. Suite C in Troy. Founded in 2016, the practice is led by three dentists — Dr. Kristen Balutowicz, Dr. Sara Hannoodi, and Dr. Ashley Metz-Suska — supported by a small staff totaling approximately five employees. The practice delivers comprehensive dental services across general, cosmetic, family, and specialty categories, including preventive care, restorations, Invisalign, All-on-4 implants, TMJ treatment, and laser dentistry. Technology adoption includes digital imaging, laser dentistry, and CAD/CAM dental software for customized restorations.

The business model is a professional services revenue model: revenue is generated per procedure, billed through insurance claims and direct patient payments, with the practice accepting major credit cards and multiple payment methods. The go-to-market is sales-led and locally anchored, relying on phone inquiries, online appointment requests, search visibility, community presence, and patient referrals within the West Bloomfield/K Troy/Oakland County area. Marketing channels include an extensive patient education blog, SEO, organic social media (Facebook), and online reviews on platforms like Yelp.

The customer base is exclusively individual consumers and families, segmented by age (children through seniors) rather than industry or enterprise. Service delivery is in-person at office locations, with no telehealth, app, or digital product surface. The practice reports no venture capital, private equity, or parent company ownership, and operates as an independent entity with no disclosed subsidiaries, patents, or regulatory actions.
