Detailed Introduction
Professional Dental Alliance, LLC (PDA) is a key component of the North American Dental Group (NADG), a prominent dental services organization (DSO) established in 2008 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. While NADG provides non-clinical administrative services to over 240 affiliated dental practices across 15 states, the Professional Dental Alliance is specifically the group of affiliated dentists responsible for guiding clinical activities and ensuring best-in-class oral health care.
PDA operates under the guidance of its Oral Health Board (OHB), an internal board of dentists that oversees clinical practices, establishes comprehensive standards of care, and fosters a collaborative environment among its dental professionals. This doctor-centric approach aims to elevate patient care through shared knowledge, ongoing training and mentorship, and a data- and outcome-driven approach to dentistry, similar to a hospital-physician model.
The clinical mission of PDA is to deliver best-in-class oral health care to every patient, every visit, by focusing on talent, expertise, technology, knowledge, and compassion. They emphasize a holistic health approach, checking key health markers and behaviors, and integrating with patients' primary medical providers when needed. PDA also prioritizes sourcing high-quality supplies and adopting innovative practices like "Formular-E," which emphasizes empathy, efficiency, education, expertise, and excellence in their treatment protocols.
Professional Dental Alliance and its affiliated practices aim to be a "One Dental Home" for patients, offering a wide range of services including general dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, implants, pedodontics, restorative procedures, and orthodontics, often with specialists collaborating on treatment plans within their network. The organization is committed to making high-quality dental care accessible and sustainable for both patients and dental professionals.
