EFFINGHAM, Ill.—Dental support organization Heartland Dental recently announced a record-setting milestone as the company provides support services to 1,000 dental practices, including more than 1,600 dentists across 37 states.

“Starting out 22 years ago, Heartland Dental provided services for a handful of dental practices in one state. Now, reaching this momentous occasion of supporting 1,000 offices is a testament to our doctor-focused culture. I believe we’ll continue to grow because dentists increasingly value how our services are laser-focused on their needs and distinctly enhance their ability to focus on patient care," said Patrick Bauer, president and chief executive officer at Heartland Dental.

Miami Lakes Cosmetic Dentistry, owned by Johnny Peralta Lee, DMD, became the 208th Heartland Dental practice in Florida and the 1,000th in the U.S. 

“I found myself without an office manager to handle daily business responsibilities of the practice,” said Peralta Lee. “Heartland Dental’s nonclinical services not only helped me discover extra hours to grow my practice but allowed me extra time to spend with my family.”

Heartland Dental was founded in 1997 by Rick Workman, DMD, a solo practitioner who wanted to provide nonclinical business support to help dentists find a more rewarding way to practice dentistry. The company began offering practice support solutions for challenges faced by dentists in any phase of their career. The company’s umbrella of support includes nonclinical, administrative services, continuing professional education and leadership training. 

“Heartland Dental’s significant growth is a combination of the trust that dentists place in our support services and the dedication of our network of business and support professionals,” said Dr. Workman, Heartland founder and executive chairman. “We have built a company culture around serving dentists’ needs and continually advance our level of non-clinical support to help these practitioners discover rewarding success.”
