"Seeing the tremendous growth over the past two years and the quality of the orthodontists that are partnering with Smile Doctors, we knew joining this family was the best business decision for our practice and patients," said Dr. Dan Bills, who joined the Smile Doctors network in March 2022. "With shared values and a dedication to giving our patients the best experience possible, it was a natural fit for us."

Private practices that become part of the Smile Doctors family benefit from economies of scale, gaining access to operational and financial tools that make their practices more efficient and improve the bottom line, enabling them to focus their attention and expertise on excellent patient experience and outcomes.
