US Endo Partners, the first specialty dental service organization (SDSO) for endodontists, announced it is changing its name to Specialized Dental Partners.
At the core of the change is the organization's decision in early 2023 to welcome periodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons to their growing community. According to an Aug. 31 news release, the decision was part of a revolutionary move in the industry to be the first SDSO to offer practice support services for interdisciplinary, integrated oral health care.
Dr. Vladana Bacbic Tal, Specialized Dental Partners chief clinical officer and endodontist partner based in Chicago, said in the news release that the organization's mission remains the same: To drive meaningful opportunity and growth for teammates while pursuing excellence.
"Just like when the company began in 2018, we are committed to our core values and to reaching great heights through innovation, communication, sharing best demonstrated practices, and an unrelenting focus on patient-centered care," she said.
As US Endo, the company grew rapidly after its 2018 inception by partnering with top-tier specialists across the country and providing expert business support so that clinicians could focus solely on delivering outstanding patient care.
Concurrent with the name change, the organization, which began with four partner practices, celebrated crossing the threshold of partnership with more than 200 practices. Specialized Dental Partners now supports more than 300 clinicians in 34 states across the country.
"Our goal is to unwaveringly support our clinicians and their teams so that they can provide better access to care to the communities they serve," said Scotte Hudsmith, Specialized Dental Partners CEO.
"Our continued growth will accelerate by aligning endodontics, periodontics and oral surgery, so that patients have a convenient and cost-effective way to access specialty dental care when they need it," he said. "We have no doubt that the integrated oral health care model is the best way forward."
