New Leadership in Starkville
The newly acquired practice will be under the stewardship of Dr. Cameron Hynum, DMD, who comes with a wealth of experience and a strong dedication to community involvement. Dr. Hynum, a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry, also holds a degree from Mississippi State University.

Growth of Life Dental Group
With this acquisition, Life Dental Group expands its network to a total of 16 practices spread across Mississippi and Alabama. The company has ambitious plans in place, aiming to add another three to five practices before the year concludes. Jeff Hand, CEO of Life Dental Group, expressed excitement about the new addition, commenting, “This acquisition represents not just growth in numbers, but an expansion of our commitment to provide exceptional dental care to more communities.”
Tracking Success
Life Dental Group has experienced remarkable progress since its founding in 2017. Data reveals a 40% Compound Annual Growth Rate since 2021. In terms of performance, the group has recorded an impressive 219% increase since its first full year of operations and a staggering 464% increase since it began. This success highlights Life Dental’s dedication to offering high-quality dental services as well as a solid business framework.
A Unique Business Model
What sets Life Dental Group apart from many other dental service organizations is its unique ownership structure. Life Dental is both company-owned and dentist-owned, which means that every dentist in the network has a stake in the group’s success. This model fosters a collaborative and patient-focused environment that benefits both practitioners and their patients.
Hand further elaborated on the group’s mission, emphasizing the importance of operational practices. “Our mission is to equip our family of offices with best operational practices to foster continued patient satisfaction and growth. We are committed to providing exceptional dental care that focuses on patient needs,” he said.
Support for Dentists
The core philosophy at Life Dental is designed to allow dentists to keep their focus on what they do best — caring for their patients. By managing the daily business and administrative tasks, Life Dental allows its dentists to devote their time and energy to providing high-quality care. Hand stated, “Management shouldn’t consume all of your time as a dentist.” He expressed pride in their business model, which he believes creates an environment where dentists can thrive and focus on patient care without unnecessary distractions.
Additionally, partner dentists benefit from a support system that addresses their personal and professional goals while alleviating them from burdens such as accounting, human resources, and marketing tasks. This structure is aimed at enriching the overall work environment and enhancing patient care quality.
Future Directions
As Life Dental Group moves forward, the focus remains on expanding both its reach and the quality of services provided. Through steady growth and a commitment to community involvement, the group is poised to make a lasting impact on dental care in Mississippi.
