In 1997, Dr. Rick Workman of Effingham, Illinois, had a vision to create something entirely new: A model for dentists to support one another and grow together. Since then, Heartland Dental and Heartland Dental supported practices have brought thousands of supported doctors together to elevate one another, advance the profession of dentistry, and raise patient care to set new standards for excellence.
There’s power in connection. What began as a local network of practices has become America’s leading dental support organization with 3,100+ supported doctors and 1,900+ supported practices across 39 states.
Our vision, mission, and core values define who we are and how we serve. They guide Heartland Dental and supported practices and inspire us to move dentistry forward together.
