About the company
United Dental (UDC) helps independent dental practitioners grow and monetize their practices by acting as a dental partner organization (DPO). It offers a modular suite of services that cover back-office management, access to preferential pricing across the dental supply chain, and many opportunities to connect with peers to share best practices. Its product works through integrated solutions: data and analytics to guide decisions, end-to-end clinical support, and practice-optimization insights that aim to cut costs and improve performance. Unlike some competitors, UDC lets dentists benefit from the buying power and scale typically enjoyed by larger groups without giving up autonomy over their practice. The company's goal is to enable independent dentists to run more profitable, well-supported practices while maintaining control over their clinical and business decisions.
