Imperial Capital Group of Toronto, together with its partner OPTrust Private Markets Group, has completed a CAD121 million investment in Dental Corporation of Canada.
Based in Toronto, Dental Corp is the largest group of dental practices in Canada with approximately 90 locations.
The company was founded in 2011 by Graham Rosenberg and Dr Andrew Meikle and enables dentists to retain their clinical and operating autonomy and focus on patient care rather than the administrative aspects of running a dental practice.
"We have had a strong interest in the North American dental business and see Dental Corp as both a great investment and a company with a compelling mission to advance the business of dentistry," says Justin MacCormack, partner and head of healthcare investing at Imperial Capital.
OPTrust's Sandra Bosela, co-head, managing director and global head of private equity, says: "Dental Corp's clinics distinguish themselves by providing exceptional overall service for the increasingly discerning Canadian dental consumer. We are very proud to be partnering with Dental Corp as the company enters its next phase of growth."
