PDS Health's Progress in Integrated Care for 2025
PDS Health® has recently unveiled its compelling achievements for 2025, highlighting a transformative year marked by expanded access to integrated dental-medical care and heightened patient engagement across the nation. The organization, known for its leadership in integrated healthcare support, reported a notable expansion in patient access that has influenced millions through a robust network of over 1,000 partner practices. This surge in engagement underscores the increasing demand for coordinated healthcare solutions focused on a holistic approach to patient well-being.
Growth in Integrated Care and Clinician Partnerships
The driving force behind this progress can be attributed to the rising interest of clinicians seeking to partner with PDS Health through its unique Owner Clinician model. These partnerships are fostering a new standard of care rooted in the
Mouth-Body Connection®, which emphasizes the essential link between oral health and overall wellness. As a testament to this model’s success, PDS Health achieved a milestone in exceeding $3.1 billion in annual revenue for the first time, signaling robust patient trust and need for integrative healthcare services.
Stephen E. Thorne IV, Founder and CEO of PDS Health, articulates that the strides made in 2025 reflect a broader shift in healthcare dynamics. "Integrated care is becoming the standard patients expect. Our focus is on supporting clinicians as they lead this shift and on advancing a care model that helps people live healthier, happier, and longer lives," he stated, capturing the essence of PDS Health’s mission.
Expanding Integrated Care Access
In 2025, PDS Health continued its mission to broaden access to integrated dental-medical care through the initiation of 77 new practices across various states. This concerted effort facilitated over 7.5 million patient interactions, revealing an undeniable demand for coordinated and comprehensive care. Not only did these openings include new primary care practices, but they also reinforced the company’s commitment to an interconnected healthcare ecosystem by linking dental and medical care seamlessly through PDS Health Medical™.
The year also welcomed 83 new practice owners, expanding PDS Health’s specialty ownership model and showcasing the sustained interest among clinicians to operate within an integrated care framework. This environment, supported by innovative systems and technologies, is shaping a new paradigm in healthcare delivery.
Academic Collaborations and Workforce Development
Rewarding opportunities for education and professional growth have also been a hallmark of PDS Health in 2025. Through its {PDS Health Technologies™_, the organization solidified academic collaborations with renowned institutions such as the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and the University of the Pacific. These partnerships underscore the commitment to training future healthcare providers on sophisticated integrated systems that highlight the link between oral and overall health.
Innovations in Early Detection and Care Coordination
To further improve patient outcomes, PDS Health has strategically invested in technologies that bolster early detection and connected care. With shared access to dental and medical records across its network, healthcare providers can monitor comprehensive health histories more effectively and enhance care coordination. Notably, the expanded use of chairside screenings such as aMMP-8 and HbA1c has allowed clinicians to identify potential health risks earlier, integrating preventive care into the patient experience.
The organization also celebrated a record achievement in 2025, completing over 570,000 same-day CAD/CAM restorations, marking an impressive annual volume due to the growing acceptance of advanced treatment methodologies.
Community Engagement and Global Initiatives
Beyond its core clinical mission, PDS Health is dedicated to uplifting communities facing barriers to healthcare access. In this spirit, the organization provided $32.9 million in charitable care services to over 10,000 patients worldwide and volunteered more than 110,000 hours serving local and international communities. Significant recognition came during the 15th annual Smile Generation Serve Day, where team members donated 74,000 hours of volunteer service valued at over $20 million, contributing to an impressive cumulative impact exceeding $94 million since 2011.
The efforts of the PDS Health Foundation™ continued to flourish in 2025, raising over $1 million to support underserved patient groups and provide scholarships for aspiring dental professionals. Further affirming their commitment, PDS Health raised 1.9 million dollars for charity water, improving water access for over 50,000 people in Ethiopia, and collaborated with KABOOM! to create safe recreational spaces for children.
