GPS Dental Celebrates Milestone Achievement: Navigates to 100 Offices Nationwide

Today, GPS Dental – Guided Practice Solutions – celebrates a significant milestone: the partnership of its 100th office. This achievement not only reflects the company’s rapid growth but also highlights its unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional dental care to communities across the country.

Since its founding in 2015 by Dr. Hunter Smith and Dr. Will Little, GPS Dental has been at the forefront of transforming the dental care landscape.  The Dental Service Organization’s patient-centric model, coupled with its adoption of cutting-edge technology, has allowed GPS Dental to build a network of highly skilled professionals that continue to drive its success.

The first location they partnered with was Toland Dental in Wynne, AR. In December 2021, the company announced it had secured a strategic growth investment from Main Post Partners. By January 2024, the DSO had expanded to 75 locations.

Reaching 100 supported practices marks the culmination of years of dedication and effort by the GPS team and the doctors they support, reflecting the company’s commitment to building enduring, meaningful partnerships that distinguish them in the dental industry. Their 100th location is Taylor Street Dental in Springfield, MA.

Currently, the group’s growth strategy focuses solely on acquisitions, with their practices remaining non-branded. The DSO is headquartered in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
