PepperPointe Partnerships Expands Its Virginia Network

In a remarkable announcement, PepperPointe Partnerships, a dental service organization (DSO) owned and controlled by dentists, revealed its significant expansion in Virginia. This move, occurring just after the organization's two-year anniversary, reflects the growing demand for innovative dental care solutions.

The expansion incorporates four new dental practices into the existing group, bringing along six general dentists and doctors who share a vision aligned with PepperPointe's mission. The journey in Virginia began in December 2022 when a collective of orthodontists and pediatric dentists chose to consolidate their resources under the PepperPointe umbrella. This strategic alliance aims to safeguard their patients, teams, and families from external pressures, ensuring that true doctor ownership remains at the forefront of their practice.

Among the new partners is a host of reputable names, including Amelia Family Dentistry, James Burton, DMD, Slaughter and Slaughter Family Dentistry, and PeaksView Dental. Each of these practices embodies the organization’s commitment to maintaining autonomy in decision-making while ensuring that their practices thrive in a shared environment of support and collaboration.

Dr. Norm Prillaman, an orthodontist and owner, praised the collaborative spirit of the newly formed group. He mentioned that the orthodontic and pediatric practices within the team have experienced notable growth, profitability, and stability since joining PepperPointe. “We believe that we are stronger together,” Dr. Prillaman states. “Our new partners are deeply committed to preserving the legacy of true doctor ownership.” This philosophical alignment further enhances the collaborative culture that PepperPointe aims to foster.

This latest addition to PepperPointe's portfolio represents a more than 35% increase in practices supported in Virginia within just one day. Dr. Greg White, the President and CEO of PepperPointe Partnerships, expressed excitement over the expansion, stating, “This development is a testament to the demand for alternative options that protect legacy practices and foster synergies for doctors to thrive.”

The expansion not only bolsters PepperPointe's position in the dental landscape but also emphasizes its commitment to improving access to dental care and creating more opportunities for doctor ownership. The integration of these new practices is a pivotal step in shaping the future of dentistry, aimed at making a lasting impact on the communities they serve.

Currently, PepperPointe operates over 115 office locations nationwide, with more than 150 doctors collaborating to provide exceptional dental care. The growth trajectory clearly indicates a positive response from the dental community and consumers alike, focusing on the importance of local ownership in the healthcare sector.

In essence, PepperPointe Partnerships’ expansion in Virginia responds to an increasing desire for dentist-led practices that prioritize patient care while ensuring doctors retain operational control. As they forge this path in collaboration with their new partners, they continue to demonstrate their dedication to innovation and community-oriented healthcare, underpinning their long-term vision for the dental industry.
