Straine Dental Management (SDM) continues to emerge as one of the most distinctive and sought-after operators in the Dental Services Organization (DSO) space. SDM has developed an accounting and business operations division that complements its long-term practice performance group, resulting in unparalleled services for its partners. SDM is proud to announce a partnership with Aaron T. Cohenour, DDS, founder of SmileArts Dental in Oklahoma City and Yukon, Oklahoma, marking a significant step in SDM’s national growth.
Dr. Cohenour, a native Oklahoman with a distinguished background, brings valuable expertise to SDM’s growing network of forward-thinking clinicians. His patient-centered approach, widely recognized throughout the Oklahoma community, combined with his advanced clinical skills, makes SmileArts Dental a key addition to the SDM network.
“The resources and strategic support provided by Straine Dental Management are crucial for elevating our practices and delivering optimal patient outcomes across our communities in Oklahoma City and Yukon,” stated Dr. Cohenour. “This partnership will ensure we deliver the highest standard of dental care in both locations, ultimately benefiting our practice and our patients.”
Jeff Staser, CFO of Straine Dental Management, emphasized the strategic significance of the expansion. “We’re not just adding practices; we’re injecting innovation directly into Oklahoma’s dental ecosystem,” Staser noted. “Dr. Cohenour’s dedication to clinical excellence and patient-centered care aligns perfectly with our mission. We look forward to supporting his growth and success as we continue expanding our national footprint.”
SmileArts Dental’s Oklahoma City and Yukon locations are now integral to SDM’s mission to redefine dental excellence. This partnership represents more than geographical expansion; it signifies a commitment to delivering superior dental care across the region.
