Making a real difference beyond the walls of each practice. For American Dental Partners, social responsibility is more than an altruistic sentiment. It is actually one of five Core Values we’ve established for our organization. It is something we live and breathe on a daily basis.

An active connection with our affiliated communities. ADPI’s long-standing reputation for philanthropy and support of charitable organizations is well earned. We continually look for ways to improve the health and well-being of the communities served by our affiliated dental groups. Some examples include:

Monetary donations to a wide variety of worthy causes.

Free dental care for the underserved and less-fortunate.

Educational programs to demonstrate proper dental care to schoolchildren.

Participation in employer health fairs.

A variety of discount programs to help patients in challenging economic times.

The unique mission of our unique foundation. Established in 1999 as a tax-exempt, non-profit organization, the American Dental Partners Foundation is dedicated to improving oral health care as a component of overall health. This mission includes activities that address critical issues within the oral health industry itself, including:

Scholarships at more than 30 dental and hygiene schools to help combat rising education costs.

Support for academic positions to help address the current shortage of dental school faculty.

Funding for continuing education programs to aid in professional development.

Externship and residency programs to expand opportunities for student clinical experiences.

Elevating the practice and delivery of dental care.For 20 years and counting. When we founded American Dental Partners (ADPI) in 1995, the dental profession was fragmented, decentralized and not positioned for the future. Over 80% of dentists practiced alone, struggling with balancing the day-to-day demands of running a practice. The overall demographic was male-dominated and rapidly aging.

Our ADPI vision was two-fold. First, we saw the industry’s need to move toward a more synergistic and streamlined group practice model. Second, we knew the practice methodologies of dentistry needed to evolve — in order to attract more vibrant, diverse and lifestyle-conscious people to the profession.

Today, American Dental Partners is an integral partner for more than 20 forward-thinking affiliated dental groups across the nation. On a daily basis, we provide business services for these multidisciplinary dental groups. While keeping a finger on the pulse of the profession as needs and opportunities continue to evolve.

Empowering you to provide exceptional care.Preserving your unique qualities and identity. Today’s dentists face a common dilemma. They want to develop a vibrant and profitable practice. They realize how complex this is. They know how the business side can take them away from patient care. And the last thing they want is to become a faceless cog in a corporate dentistry machine.

With American Dental Partners, our affiliated dental groups maintain complete autonomy over their patient care philosophy and day-to-day clinical operations. This is markedly different from our competitors, where micro-management and a purely by-the-numbers approach are often the driving factors.

With us, your group practice also maintains its brand identity. An affiliation with American Dental Partners is totally transparent to patients. Behind the scenes, we quietly provide the level of leading-edge business services you need to develop a loyal and satisfied patient base. Including high-level programs to foster people development, leadership and best practices.

Leading-edge practice environments for quality care. For each affiliated practice, American Dental Partners provides a wealth of distinct physical and professional advantages to ensure high standards of quality. In addition to providing a strong emphasis on accreditation, ADPI institutes empowering elements such as advanced technology and quality building/office improvements. The result is a progressive, leading-edge practice environment that elevates daily operations, while making a positive and lasting impression on today’s quality-conscious patients.

Healthy organizations that are built to last. Profit should never be the purpose of a business. This is true for ADPI. We view profit as a basic necessity for survival, and also as a catalyst that helps to build leading-edge multispecialty dental group practices. For us, profit is simply a means to the end — which is building a healthy organization.

This focus on succession and legacy takes shape as a continual effort to reinvest in the practice, its people and in the growth of the business. The goal is to create a healthy and enduring organization that will serve your unique community and patient population for generations to come.

Forming a clear, collective vision.Through core values and strategic goals. To build a healthy and enduring organization, it takes a group of passionate professionals who are committed to exceptional patient care and service. At American Dental Partners, this common purpose is further empowered by a set of time-tested core values and strategic goals.

The result is a culture that provides an aligned long
