Kare Mobile Dentistry

Kare Mobile Dentistry is an innovative dental service organization (DSO) that specializes in delivering comprehensive dental care through mobile units. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Kwane Watson, who has over 25 years of experience in the dental industry, the company's core mission is to improve access to oral healthcare, particularly in rural and urban "dental deserts" where traditional dental services are scarce. Kare Mobile operates using proprietary designed single-chair mobile dental units, equipped with advanced technology to ensure a safe and efficient environment for dental procedures. These mobile clinics can provide a wide array of services, including routine adult and child cleanings, extractions, fillings, root canals, partial dentures, invisible aligners, and crown and bridge work. They prioritize patient comfort and convenience, bringing dental care directly to homes, workplaces, correctional facilities, and community events, eliminating the need for patients to travel to a brick-and-mortar office. Beyond direct patient care, Kare Mobile has a broader vision for impacting the dental industry. Initially, the company started as a software platform in 2018, designed to connect uninsured and underinsured patients with available dentists for same-day treatments based on location, insurance, and procedure needs. This technological foundation continues to support their operations, with ongoing efforts to integrate IoT capabilities into their vans and optimize routing for providers. Kare Mobile also actively forms strategic partnerships to expand its reach and fulfill its mission of oral health equity. Notable collaborations include partnerships with organizations like Aetna Better Health of Kentucky, which has helped them acquire new mobile vans, and Proctor & Gamble brands Crest and Oral-B, through which they host free dental screenings and educational events nationwide. Their business model also extends to empowering other dental professionals, offering mobile unit leasing opportunities for dentists looking to launch their own practices with reduced overhead and increased flexibility. The company has successfully raised significant capital and aims to continue expanding its presence, even looking to international markets like Sierra Leone, Africa, in 2024.
