Southeast Dental Partners

Southeast Dental Partners (SDP) is a unique dental support organization established in 2012 by dentists, for dentists. Unlike corporate chains, SDP emphasizes a "dentist-owned and dentist-led" model, aiming to preserve the essence of clinician-led private practices while providing the robust support typically found in larger groups. Their core mission is to create independence, opportunities, and balance for dentists, allowing them to focus on patient care without the burdens of day-to-day business management. SDP offers a comprehensive suite of business support services to its partner practices, including human resources, payroll, insurance negotiations, marketing, billing and collections, and compliance. This enables dentists to maintain clinical autonomy and build their own practice brand, free from micromanagement and one-size-fits-all playbooks. They also provide clinical mentorship and support, helping dentists grow their skills and implement new procedures. The organization's founders, Dr. Michael Modlin, Jr. and Dr. Ryan Londry, both dentists themselves, created SDP with the understanding of what it takes to run a successful practice and the importance of a dentist's legacy. They prioritize custom, respectful partnerships that protect the patients, the team, and the dentist's vision. SDP also provides a clear and easy path to ownership for its associates. Based in Cornelius, NC, Southeast Dental Partners aims to offer an ideal solution for dentists looking for the benefits of a group practice without sacrificing their independence. Patient reviews for affiliated practices often highlight the friendly, professional, and attentive staff, as well as the high quality of care received.
