Overview
Plum Dental Group runs a network of general, specialty and cosmetic dental practices in Rhode Island and Connecticut, owned by its founding and partner dentists. It calls itself a dental partnership organization, meaning dentists in each office make the clinical decisions while a shared central team handles HR, billing, recruiting, marketing and technology. Many of its offices joined when their owners sold their practices to the group, and some of those dentists keep treating patients afterward. The practices earn money from patient care billed to patients and their insurance plans. Plum grew out of a family dental practice in Westerly, Rhode Island, and is headquartered in Warwick, Rhode Island.

What believers are saying
- Plum's Connecticut associate dentists get a pay floor: collections-based salary carries a guaranteed daily minimum for the first year.
- Hygienist pay is posted: Plum lists Rhode Island starting rates of $48 an hour full-time and $46 part-time.
- Plum operates at regional scale: its practices treat over 80,000 patients a year, according to its LinkedIn page.
What critics are saying
- Bonus binds hygienists: Plum's Rhode Island $6,000 bonus, prorated for part-time and paid after 30 days, carries a three-year commitment.
- Plum's patient coordinator float travels: the Rhode Island role covers practices in North Kingstown and East Greenwich, Monday to Friday.
- Insurer payments drive Rocky Hill revenue: Plum's Connecticut practice there is insurance-based and does not accept Medicaid.
What makes Plum Dental Group unique
- Patients never see the parent: Plum puts neither its name nor its logo on any of its practices.
- Plum avoids the investor model: it says most dental support organizations are investor-owned and typically resold after 3-5 years.
- Equity reaches clinicians: Plum's part-time Rocky Hill periodontist posting offers potential ownership in the practice and Plum after two years.
