Midwest Dental is a prominent dental support organization (DSO) and a network of dental care practices operating across the United States. Founded in 1968 by David Hehli with a single clinic in Mondovi, Wisconsin, it grew to become the largest solely owned dental practice in the country at that time. In December 2020, Midwest Dental was acquired by Smile Brands Inc., further expanding its reach and resources. Headquartered in Mondovi, Wisconsin, Midwest Dental now boasts over 230 offices spanning 17 states, with more than 2,300 employees (as of 2020), including a significant number of dentists and hygienists. The organization focuses on providing a wide array of dental services, encompassing general, preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. Specific services include, but are not limited to, routine teeth cleanings, dental fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal treatments, tooth extractions, dental implants, clear aligners, teeth whitening, and treatment for gum disease. They also offer specialized services such as laser dentistry, sedation dentistry, and emergency dental care. Midwest Dental is known for its patient-centric approach, emphasizing personalized care and a comfortable environment. They aim to educate patients on oral health and ensure informed decision-making regarding treatment plans. The company also integrates modern dental technology into its practices, utilizing tools like CAD/CAM scanners, 3D printers, cone beam X-rays, and digital X-ray systems to enhance patient care and efficiency. Beyond clinical services, Midwest Dental also provides support functions for its affiliated dental offices, including training, marketing, human resources, and accounting. This structure allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care while benefiting from a robust support system.
