We walked away from a $32.5M private equity deal because we knew there had to be a better way — one where dentists win, not Wall Street. This is that way.

Founder, Atlanta Dental Spa & DentalPartners.AI
In 2022, a large private equity group put $32.5 million on the table for our practices. After 20 years of building Atlanta Dental Spa into one of the most recognized dental brands in the Southeast, we were at the finish line.
Then we looked at what would happen next. The labs would change. The clinical decisions would change. The employees would change. The management would change. Everything we had built for two decades was about to be strip-mined for quarterly returns.
We walked away.
Not because we didn't want the money — but because we knew there had to be a better model. One where dentists keep their identity, their team, and their clinical judgment. One where technology does the heavy lifting instead of private equity cost-cutting.
"We didn't need a check. We needed a better model. So we built one."
— Dr. Peter Boulden, Founder
This isn't a PE roll-up where someone else gets rich off your hard work. Every partner-dentist shares in the profits, the growth, and the upside. We're locking arms and building something iconic — the gold standard in dentistry.
"Your clinical autonomy is not negotiable — it's our foundation. We built this so dentists keep what they've earned and grow it together."
I'll be honest — AI scared me too. Then I realized something: dentists are one of the most AI-resilient professions on the planet. You can't automate a crown prep.
But you CAN automate the half of your week that has nothing to do with patients. Every dentist knows — roughly 50% of your work hours are non-clinical. We take that off your plate.

Predictive patient acquisition & ad optimization
24/7 call handling & appointment scheduling
Real-time eligibility & benefits checks
Claims processing, denial management & collections
Automated training, compliance & workflows
Predictive staffing & retention analytics
Predictive ordering & waste reduction
ML-assisted detection & treatment planning
AI imaging analysis & case acceptance tools
Churn prediction & re-engagement campaigns
Intelligent shade matching & material selection
We've spent years perfecting the intersection of technology and hospitality. The result? Practices that run like clockwork and patients who never want to go anywhere else.
Every workflow — from scheduling to billing — is powered by intelligent automation that eliminates friction.
Battle-tested standard operating procedures refined across thousands of patient visits. Nothing left to chance.
Live dashboards that surface what matters — production, case acceptance, patient flow — so you can act, not guess.
AI that anticipates patient needs, flags revenue opportunities, and optimizes your schedule before you even ask.
Every visit feels like a retreat. Warm towels, noise-canceling headphones, aromatherapy — we treat the person, not just the teeth.
Our teams are trained to know patients by name, remember their stories, and make every interaction feel personal.
AI handles the logistics so your team can focus on what matters — genuine human connection at every touchpoint.
Systems ensure every patient gets the same exceptional experience — whether it's their first visit or their fiftieth.
We invest for 51%. You keep up to 49%. We grow together. We both win.

Chips off the table. You get paid for 51% of your practice at close — no earnouts, no games.
Your up to 49% pays you monthly distributions. As we grow the practice together, your equity grows in value — dramatically.
We handle the business side — billing, HR, marketing, compliance, procurement. You focus on what you love: taking care of patients.
Within 6 months of closing, you can invest up to 10% of the purchase price into our DP Investment Fund — giving you equity in the entire platform. Now you're diversified into a network of practices.
Think of the DP Investment Fund like an S&P 500 for dental practices. Instead of being tied to a single location, you own a piece of every practice in the network. As the platform grows, so does your investment.
"Regardless of which path you choose — you'll have extracted maximum value from your practice, decreased your stress and worry, and joined a network of fellow owners who have your back."
Three forces working together to grow the value of your practice — and your equity.
The moment you join our group, your practice is more valuable. A platform of practices commands a higher multiple than a standalone office. That's multiple arbitrage — and it happens on day one.
Our AI systems find missed revenue — more new patients, better case acceptance, fewer no-shows, optimized scheduling. The top line grows without you working harder.
AI handles insurance verification, billing, collections, patient communication, and more. Less overhead. Less staff burden. More profit drops to the bottom line — and to your equity.
Here's what happens when you join the platform.
Read that again: your old 100% was worth $5M. You got ~$2.55M cash at close for 51% — chips off the table. And your remaining 49% is now worth $6.86M. More dentistry. Less management. More value.
They buy 100% and make you an employee. We invest for 51% and make you a partner. Simple.
You built something great. But you're doing it alone — managing staff, fighting insurance companies, handling HR, marketing, and compliance. What if you could join a team that handles all of that, while you keep doing what you love?
