We are a private equity-backed acquisition group actively investing in the dental services space and looking to connect with operators, former group practice owners, or DSO executives who have direct experience running or scaling Medicaid/Medicare-dependent dental practices. Our current focus is on a single-state platform in the Southeast U.S. with meaningful Medicaid concentration. We are investors doing diligence and want to speak with people who have been in the seat. Specifically, we'd value perspective on: Medicaid reimbursement risk, rate variability, and state-specific dynamics in the Southeast Operational levers that drive EBITDA in high-Medicaid group dental practices Patient volume predictability and Medicaid eligibility churn What lenders and buyers get wrong when underwriting these assets Red flags and structural risks operators have learned the hard way If this is in your wheelhouse or you know someone who fits, please reach out directly. Appreciate the community here.
