Heartland Dental finalizes American Dental acquisition

Dental service organization (DSO) Heartland Dental has wrapped up its purchase of fellow DSO American Dental Partners.

The deal, which was initially announced in May, has resulted in a combined network that supports over 2,300 dentists in more than 1,400 locations across 38 states, according to Heartland Dental. Dental practices currently supported by American Dental Partners can now access Heartland Dental resources for assistance with marketing, office operations, information technology, human resources, and payer relations, Heartland Dental said.
