Espire Dental expands footprint with Southern California dental practice acquisition

---

Espire Dental, a fast growing, doctor-led Integrated Dental Organization, announced on Feb. 23 the recent acquisition of La Costa Dental Group in Encinitas, California.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Denver, Espire has 21 practices located throughout Colorado, California, Oklahoma and Wyoming. The company acquires practices with a clinical philosophy that focuses on the patient’s experience, while placing significant emphasis on elevated, quality clinical care and employee fulfillment. 

Adding La Costa Dental Group strengthens Espire's position in the Southern California market while expanding the quality of dental care available to patients throughout the state.

Tim Hill, CEO of Espire Dental, said in the news release that the location is an ideal fit with the company’s existing presence in the area.

La Costa Dental Group has provided patient care in Encinitas and surrounding areas since 1975. Dr. Omer Anisso, D.D.S., owner of La Costa Dental, said in the news release that when he first met the team at Espire, he knew that they were the best fit for the practice and patients. 

“We were searching for a business partner who would not only help our practice grow but support our team members and elevate our patient experience, too,” he said. “Espire is elevating the entire dental industry, and we are proud to join the cause."

Espire Dental supports its practices with practice operations, clinical training, human resources, marketing and accounting. This allows Espire's dentists to focus on what matters most: patient care and elevating their teams' experience.
