We look forward to supporting those offices and their patients with an expanding menu of treatment options – including our state-of-the-art soft tissue health program focused on wellness and prevention, high quality dental implants and overdentures, traditional braces and clear aligner orthodontics, and convenient onsite or adjacent specialty care.”
Leigh Feenburg, CEO of MADP, said, “Western Dental is one of the most dynamic, innovative and robust DSOs in the country, and we are very pleased to be a part of it. This will be a great ‘dental home’ with focus on high quality general dentistry, comprehensive treatment planning and convenient multi-specialty offerings for patients, excellent continuing education programs for doctors and hygienists, and exciting career ladders for team members throughout the organization.”

With us, doctors and hygienists are supported by robust continuing education, digital technology and all the services needed to sustain a thriving practice.”
