Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- DSO-led rollups show up repeatedly, including acquisitions by Parkview Dental Partners and Sage Dental across multiple Florida markets.
- Specialty verticals are a visible focus, especially periodontics and dental implants (e.g., Brandon and Vero Beach area deals).
- Pediatric growth appears through network partnerships and a dedicated kids launch concept (Sage Dental Kids of New Tampa).
- Technology and care models are emphasized in practice acquisitions, such as plans to add digital imaging and iTero scanning.
- Florida transactions also extend to the dental supply chain via National Dentex Labs acquiring a prosthetics business in Palm Beach Gardens.
