Dental management firm drills five acquisitions

PALMETTO — Dental office management firm Dynamic Dental Partners Group acquired five practices in the 2014 second quarter, including two in Sarasota County.

The additions, according to a release, bring the Palmetto-based firm's total office count to 37 locations across Florida, Arizona and Virginia. The firm provides dental offices a variety of services, including clinic-level operational support, centralized back-office work and training. The firm also handles human resources, payroll and benefits, accounting, vendor management, insurance and IT for dental practices. Dynamic Dental CEO Dr. Alex A. Giannini says the firm expects more growth in the second half of 2014.

“DDPG's growth is a direct reflection of our team's vision, strategy and professionalism,” Giannini says in the statement. “We are proud of our ability to seek out acquisition opportunities, conduct due diligence and rapidly transition an acquired practice. Our techniques and protocols allow us to operate at a fast pace within the rapidly growing dental service organization industry.”
