SGA Dental Partners

Dentist-owned practice network delivering patient care

Overview

SGA Dental Partners is a dentist-owned and dentist-led network that partners with local dentists to run high-quality dental practices in hometown communities across the Southeast. It provides clinicians with clinical autonomy while offering back-office support, resources, and scale. Revenue comes from patient fees for services such as check-ups, cleanings, and treatments. The business model uses economies of scale and collective bargaining power to negotiate better terms with suppliers and insurers. Unlike many corporate dental groups, SGA Dental emphasizes preserving clinician independence and a strong patient experience in everyday care. The company’s goal is to continually improve the lives of patients, partner dentists, and team members by delivering timely, convenient, and comfortable dental care and empowering its staff to succeed.
