We empower private dental practices to thrive
Protecting the Profession. One Partnership at a Time.
We didn’t want this to be the generation of dentists that sells out their profession
We started Accelerate Dental because we were tired of seeing great doctors get backed into a corner. As DSOs grow, private practice gets squeezed or dentists give up and become employees of their own practices, unable to share in the profit upside DSOs create.
We believe the best version of dentistry is one where the clinician—not a corporation—remains in control. We provide the resources, training, and support to help dentists maintain control of their practices - and expand to owning more if they desire. When you partner with us you can build, lead, and grow an outstanding business that aligns with your unique vision.
Dentistry’s best days are ahead!
Our guiding principles:
Our Manifesto
We aren’t just ‘doctor-led’; we are doctor-owned. We prioritize the clinician’s autonomy because we know that when a doctor is empowered to lead, the patient always wins.
We don’t build to flip. We are a long-term entity designed to ensure that when it’s time for you to retire, you sell your shares to another doctor. We keep dentistry in clinical hands forever.
Solo practice is a grind. By joining a doctor-owned collective, you get the financial upside and back-office power of a national group without sacrificing your local identity.” We only partner with a practice if we can help them build something much bigger than when we started.
We believe that “standard” is the enemy of excellence. From the patient experience in the chair to the back-office support we provide our partners, we strive to Deliver Awesome in every interaction. We don’t just solve problems; we create a world-class environment where clinicians can do their best work.
Our team:
Meet the Team
We’re probably biased, but we believe we have one of the most talented and helpful teams of experts on the planet.
The Clinical Council
The Guardians of Care
The Clinical Council is the heartbeat of Accelerate. Comprised of partner-doctors, this group ensures that our standards remain uncompromising. They don’t just ‘advise’—they lead. From vetting new technology to peer-to-peer mentoring, the Council ensures that our clinical decisions are always made by those holding the handpiece, not those looking at a spreadsheet. They give recommendations to our practices to keep them at the top of their clinical game.

The Culture Council
The Keepers of the Soul
Scale shouldn’t come at the cost of culture. Our Culture Council is a dedicated team of partner-doctors tasked with protecting the ‘local feel’ of every practice in our group. They focus on the human side of dentistry—team morale, leadership development, and ensuring that as we grow, we never lose the ‘Awesome’ that made our practices successful in the first place. Since our doctors are all part owners in each other’s practices, this team ensures we collaborate daily, share best practices, and most importantly- that we have fun together!
