An affiliate of private investment firm HIG Capital has completed the acquisition of InterDent, a dental practice support organisation (DSO).
Headquartered in Inglewood, California, and operating primarily under the Gentle Dental brand name, InterDent provides support services to 145 affiliated dental offices in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington.
InterDent’s network delivers dentistry to over one million patients annually, including general dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, prosthodontics, and oral surgery.
John Steinbrun, president and chief executive of InterDent, says: “We are excited about the HIG acquisition. Their investment supports our growth and enables the company to invest in existing offices while growing our retail platform. We have a shared vision to provide the best work environment to attract high-quality dentists and specialists, and offer an unmatched value and experience to the patient.”
“We are very pleased to support John and his team in their growth and continued success,” says Chris Laitala, a managing director of HIG Capital. “The DSO model allows dentists and specialists to treat patients while reducing the administrative burden of running their own practices. We believe there is a big opportunity to further penetrate existing territories while expanding into new markets.”
