Starkville Welcomes Life Dental Group’s New Practice
In a significant step towards expanding dental care in the region, Life Dental Group has acquired Starkville Dental, a practice that is set to enhance community healthcare offerings. With this new addition, Life Dental’s network has grown to 16 practices across Mississippi and Alabama. The company has ambitious goals, aiming to open an additional three to five practices by the end of this year.
Leadership Transfer
The new Starkville Dental will be under the direction of Dr. Cameron Hynum, DMD. Dr. Hynum is known for his strong commitment to both patient care and community involvement. He attended the esteemed University of Mississippi School of Dentistry after earning his degree from Mississippi State University.
Jeff Hand, the CEO of Life Dental Group, expressed enthusiasm about this acquisition. “We are excited to add Starkville Dental to our family of offices and to welcome Dr. Hynum to our team,” he said. Hand emphasized that this acquisition means more than just growth in the number of practices; it stands for the group’s ongoing commitment to providing exceptional dental care to wider communities.
Rapid Growth and Future Plans
Life Dental Group has witnessed impressive growth since its inception in 2017. The company’s Compound Annual Growth Rate has soared by 40% since 2021. There has also been a remarkable 219% increase in operations since its first full year, making this a noteworthy achievement in the dental service industry. The network’s overall growth has reached an incredible 464% since the company’s beginning.
This financial success is largely due to the group’s unique business model. Unlike many dental service organizations, Life Dental Group prides itself on being both company-owned and dentist-owned. This approach ensures that the dentists working within the network have a significant stake in the success of the practice, creating a collaborative and patient-centric environment.
Focus on Patients and Dentists
The mission of Life Dental Group is straightforward: to equip its practices with the best operational strategies to assure patient satisfaction and to encourage continued growth. Hand stated, “Our mission is to equip our family of offices with best operational practices to foster continued patient satisfaction and growth.” They are dedicated to offering exceptional dental care that emphasizes patient needs.
The philosophy behind Life Dental is simple but incredibly significant: let the dentists do what they do best—care for their patients. By managing daily business aspects such as accounting, human resources, and marketing, Life Dental allows its dentists more time to concentrate on providing quality care.
“Management shouldn’t consume all of your time as a dentist,” Hand remarked. “We are so proud of our business model, which frees up the dentist’s time and energy so they can focus on care.” Partner dentists at Life Dental enjoy benefiting from the support towards both personal and professional goals without the burden of constant management duties.
