DSO Spotlight
ProSmile Holdings LLC, a multi-specialty dental services organization (DSO) on the East Coast, has announced the successful acquisition of Destiny Dental, a move that expands ProSmile’s presence into Michigan, Illinois, and other Midwest states. This strategic acquisition represents a significant milestone in ProSmile’s mission to broaden its reach and provide dental care to underserved communities.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Woodbridge, NJ, ProSmile formed as the result of the merger of PG Dental and Allied Dental. Established by Dr. Amish Patel and Mr. Bharat Rana, the ProSmile team is now led by Hugh Carey II, CEO, Dr. Heather Smith-Briggs, CDO (Chief Dental Officer), Dr. Sathya Kallur, CSO (Chief Specialty Officer), and Dr. Simon Oh, CCO (Chief Clinic Officer.)
ProSmile has quickly grown to serve over 100 locations across the mid-Atlantic and Midwest. With a network of more than 1,500 healthcare professionals, ProSmile offers a full range of dental services, including pediatric dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, and oral surgery.
BankUnited, N.A., a Florida-based commercial bank and ProSmile’s current lender, supported the acquisition and raised new capital for further expansion. ProSmile is backed by TriSpan, an established middle-market private equity firm with investments that span North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
Since TriSpan’s initial investment in May 2019, ProSmile has successfully completed seven acquisitions. This latest acquisition of Destiny Dental adds a significant footprint in the Great Lakes region.
A Strategic Fit for Growth
Founded in 2010, Destiny Dental has built a reputation for providing essential dental services in communities with limited access to quality care. Jim Lucci, Co-Founder and President of L2 Management, the DSO supporting Destiny Dental practices, highlighted the shared values between the two organizations. “We started Destiny Dental more than a decade ago with a single mission: providing access to quality dental care for the communities in the Midwest that need it most,” Lucci stated. “With ProSmile, we found a great partner to continue that mission.”
The acquisition of Destiny Dental, along with its network of more than 250 healthcare professionals, five Illinois locations, two Indiana locations, 13 Michigan locations and one Wisconsin location, indicates that the Midwest is a region ripe with opportunities for growth and healthcare improvement.
“This acquisition is an exciting opportunity for ProSmile to grow and expand into new markets,” said Hugh Carey II, CEO of ProSmile. “Destiny Dental’s clinical teams are a natural fit with ProSmile’s ethos: delivering exceptional care to underserved communities while empowering staff to pursue clinical excellence.”
