What is Accelerate Dental?

Accelerate Dental is a doctor-owned, doctor-led Dental Partnership Group. We provide elite back-office support, operations, marketing, billing, and financial systems to private practice dentists while allowing them to maintain 100% clinical autonomy and majority equity as the CEO of their practice.

How is Accelerate Dental different from a traditional DSO?

Unlike traditional DSOs that are private equity-owned, buy majority control, and aim to sell every 3–5 years, Accelerate Dental is a perpetual, doctor-owned model. We never sell to corporations; doctors retain majority ownership, clinical control, and full decision-making power.

Will I lose clinical autonomy or control of my brand?

No. On Day 1 and beyond, your clinical decisions, team, patient relationships, and local practice branding remain 100% in your hands. Accelerate operates as a minority partner to support and empower you, not to mandate clinical care.

What kind of back-office support does Accelerate provide?

We handle the administrative load, including insurance fee optimization, patient billing, financial reporting, ROI-driven marketing, HIPAA legal compliance, and recruiting/staff training so you can focus on dentistry and work-life balance.

What regions and service areas do you operate in?

Accelerate Dental proudly supports dental practices across Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Washington, and Nevada.

How does the partnership evaluation process work?

It starts with a 1-on-1 discovery call to discuss your goals. After an evaluation application, our team analyzes your practice operations and financials to present a custom strategic growth plan before both sides come to a mutual partnership decision.

How to Acquire a Second Dental Practice

Book a call

Grow into a small group without selling to private equity

The problem

Growing past one location is a different job from running one.

Owners who want a second location don’t know where to start: buy, build, or expand

Acquisitions involve due diligence, legal structuring, financing and insurance contracts most doctors have never handled

Big DSOs outbid individual doctors for the best practices

What we do

The deal, legal and integration work, handled alongside you.

Growth strategy: an annual review of expansion options, including adding doctors, acquiring a practice or opening a de novo, as part of your strategic plan

Deal support: valuation, due diligence and deal structuring for acquisitions

Legal and entity work: drafting and reviewing agreements, forming new entities, NPI and tax ID transitions, and insurance contract compliance

Financing: introductions through our bank partnerships

Integration and rebranding: bringing the new location onto the same systems, payroll, books and brand

Frequently asked questions

How do I buy a second dental practice?

Start with your growth strategy, then value the target practice, complete due diligence and structure the deal. Next come the legal and entity work, including new entities, NPI and tax ID transitions and insurance contracts, followed by financing through our bank partners. Finally, the new location is integrated onto the same systems, payroll, books and brand.

Should I acquire a practice or open a de novo?

We review both options with you every year as part of your strategic plan, alongside adding doctors to your existing practice.

How do I finance a practice acquisition?

Through introductions to our bank partners, with the deal structured as part of our deal support.

Will the new location keep its name?

That is your decision. Rebranding support is part of integrating a new location.
