Quick Pitch

Half Dental is a great company with a wealth of talent and powerful assets – e.g. outstanding innovation capabilities, a strong brand, an excellent regional footprint, leading positions in dental care, and solid partnerships. We have tremendous potential in terms of margin improvement, growth through  market share and brand extension.  While our 2012 results  were outstanding we will not be satisfied with our current  performance, and we are positioning ourselves to deliver fully on that potential.  With 7 practices in 5 western states and growing, we will soon be in a market near you. www.halfdental.com

Product/Service Details

We are a leading provider of business services, support staff and dental facilities to multidisciplinary dental group practices in selected markets throughout the United States. We are committed to the success of our practices and make substantial investments to support their operations. We provide dental facilities and support staff to the associated practices and provide or assist with organizational planning and development; staff recruitment; employee retention and training programs; quality assurance initiatives; facilities development and management; employee benefits administration; procurement; information systems and technology; marketing contracting; and  financial planning, reporting and analysis. 

Traction & Accomplishments

One of the major developments in 2012 was the signing of a distributor agreement with DIO Corporation, a dental implant manufacturer which supplies dental implants to our affiliated practices.  This partnership has allowed us to leverage steeply discounted pricing and pass that on to our patients through massive savings.

In 2012 we completed two new corporate startups including two new “Licensee” practices, primarily aimed at strengthening our growth footprint geographically. This has increased the our practice count to 7 offices in 5 states.  

Most recently we have just completed our franchise filings with the FTC and are positioned to further our growth throughout the United States.  Reflecting our confidence to step up expansion through Franchising, we launched a new website to support our endevors - www.jointherevo.com.   We currently have 86 franchise applications pending as of 05/24/2013.

How We're Different

In a fast-changing world, we are committed to returning superior value to our patients and stakeholders. We will achieve this through leadership in innovation, an absolute focus on the baby boomer patient population, local market relevance, and operational excellence, while dental implant costs and procedure pricing will be less than our competitors.  We aim to create value through a deep understanding of our Patients and Practices and by building sustainable competitive advantages in each market.

In doing so, we will leverage the strengths of the Half Dental organization – e.g. talented people, outstanding innovation capabilities, a strong brand, a regional footprint, leading market positions and a solid balance sheet ensuring solid leadership and benchmark performance.
