Founded By A Doctor, For Doctors
Becoming a dentist and building your practice was all about having the freedom to care for your patients. But at some point, the administrative tasks took over. Our Founder understood because he'd been there. Heartland Dental helps make your life easier with robust staffing, equipment, and non-clinical support services. We promise our supported doctors and employees the opportunity to build the futures they want while also securing their legacy in the communities they serve.
The Doctor Difference
A DSO Invested In Your Success
Be the dentist you want to be with world-class support from us. As the largest and most experienced DSO in the nation, we can help you navigate today's payor, supplier, and support team challenges and opportunities. And no one is more experienced than Heartland Dental—after all, we’ve been helping doctor-owners transition while retaining clinical independence and obtaining outstanding compensation from their professional corporations since 1982.
Affiliation
True Clinical IndependenceEvery supported doctor is unique, and we tailor our support to meet those varying needs. Some require administrative aid to continue growing their practices, while others want a better work-life balance and more time to spend with their families. And through the affiliation process with a Heartland Dental supported PC, you’ll get cash for the equity you have worked so hard to build. Plus, enjoy access to our tried-and-true operational systems and leadership and skill development programs to help you deliver world-class patient care and experiences.
Heartland Dental Has You Covered

Simplify and streamline your payroll. Enjoy the PC's guaranteed salaries, benefits for all team members, admin support, and secure and accurate bookkeeping assistance.
The best supplies at the best prices. Our supplies department orders from vendors at scale, which means they get significant discounts for all our supported dentists and offices.

Blog Series: Top 3 Supply Chain Realities In 2022 and How They Affect Your Bottom Line In this series of 3 blog posts, we discuss the state of the supply chain in 2022 and what you can do to navigate challenges and protect your bottom line. It’s virtually impossible to have a conversation about supply chain realities without taking the time to consider the actual people who are involved on both sides of the supply management process. In our previous two posts, we examined how supply chain price hikes and lab relationships affect your practice and ultimately your bottom line. Now, It’s important to consider how both your staff and your patients can be directly affected by your procurement process. Whether you are doing the bulk of the supply work or you delegate these tasks to your staff, the more time spent on ordering and procurement means less time spent chairside, which can put your bottom line and, more importantly, your patients at risk.
