Our network was founded in 2002 by a group of compassionate individuals who witnessed the potential impact we could have on children and families. With our first set of clinics on Arizona we were deeply troubled to hear of the many families who were compelled to receive dental care at archaic facilities whose decisions centered around the bottom line and profit margins.
We believed then and still do today that every kid, regardless of family income, deserves quality, patient-centered dentistry on a fun, upbeat environment. This philosophy grew into a plan for growth over the past almost two decades and we haver had some really smart team members who helped us figured out how to acheive growth while staying true to our core values. There have been many decisions over the years: where to grow, what is the right way, what processes to use, and how to get better at serving the families we are lucky to call patients.
with 38 offices (30 dental and 8 orthodontics), we are one of the countries largest medicaid dental provider networks.
However, our daily mission is not about growth or the scale of the organization, growth is just a byproduct of our core purpose, our values and our relentless goodwill to do everything we can for the children we are entrusted to serve. We always return to that core purpose, remembering each one of us has unique gifts and talents we employ in our service to others. It is in this sharing of spirit that we reach the ultimate goal of realizing our common bonds as we take the next step together toward our future.
