Hudec Dental has acquired the assets of three former Allcare Dental & Dentures locations in Ohio to help patients with access to records and dental care. In so doing, Hudec becomes the largest independent dental practice in the region, according to the company.
The acquisitions were announced by Hudec President John Hudec, DDS, who founded the business in 1977 with a single office. Last year, Hudec Dental served more than 78,000 patient visits at 11 locations throughout Northeast Ohio.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
In addition to the three acquisitions, Hudec is also the custodian of patient records for seven closed Allcare locations: Cuyahoga Falls, Garfield Heights, Mentor, Middleburg Heights, Parma, North Olmsted, and Canton. Former Allcare patients at these locations may contact Hudec for their records and information on their care.
Hudec currently operates four locations in Cleveland and seven other locations in Bedford, Broadview Heights, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Macedonia, and Strongsville. The company employs 132 licensed dentists, licensed hygienists, and dental assistants, as well support staff. The acquisition will potentially add another 25 people to the organization.
In addition to its neighborhood dental offices, Hudec owns and operates its own dental laboratory for patients needing crowns, dentures, mouthguards, and other dental appliances. The laboratory is located in Cleveland.
