Freedom Dental Partners (Become the DSO Seminars), a dentist-owned DSO and mentorship group, announced that it has completed the acquisition of Manhattan’s dntl bar. Freedom Dental Partners is an aligned dental support group of more than 350 dental practices in 42 states with $65m EBITDA. It is headquartered in Montclair, New Jersey.
Avi Weisfogel is the co-founder of the International Academy of Sleep and Freedom Dental Partners. While practicing clinical dentistry, Avi bought five practices and sold all of them at a hefty profit. Additionally, he built a multi-state empire of practices dedicated to the treatment of sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy.
“We are excited to welcome the dntl bar team to the Freedom Dental Partners family,” said Avi Weisfogel, CEO of Freedom Dental Partners. “This acquisition is a key part of our growth strategy, and we look forward to continuing to provide outstanding dental care to patients in New York City.”
The acquisition of New York City’s “one-stop shop” for dental needs is effective immediately. Operations will consolidate while retaining the current dental roster. As part of the transaction, dntl bar will consolidate its operations into its flagship location in Chelsea while retaining its founder, Ben Elchami, and the four current dentists.
“The elite caliber of our dentists, hygienists, and technology will provide an optimal patient experience through this transition,” said Dr. Steven Albert who led the negotiations for Freedom Dental Partners. “Dntl Bar is the home of thousands of patients, and we look forward to delivering exceptional care to each and every one.”
dntl bar, a corporate dental services organization, has been a provider of dental services in New York City with 15,000 active patients and annual revenues of more than $8 million. It was founded in 2019 by Ben Elchami.
“I am proud of what we have accomplished at dntl bar and I am excited to continue working with Freedom Dental Partners to grow and enhance our services,” said Elchami. “Our focus has always been on delivering convenient, affordable and accessible dental care to our patients, and I am confident that this acquisition will help us do that even more effectively.”
