Specialty1 Partners Expands Associate-to-Partner Program

---

Specialty1 Partners (S1P), the nation’s fastest-growing specialty dental partnership platform supporting endodontist, periodontist, and oral surgery practices and specialists, announced an expanded initiative that accelerates associate-to-partner growth and opportunity for specialists and practices. The announced supported program fuels network expansion through Specialty1 Partners’ industry-leading, successful joint venture model.

One of the most recent associate-to-partner transitions occurred at West Shore Oral Surgery, LLC, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, where Dr. Danielle I. Holland, DMD, was elevated into ownership through the joint venture framework following the acquisition and integration of a retiring doctor’s practice.

“Designed to empower specialists with true equity ownership and clinical autonomy, our JV model reflects Specialty1 Partners’ commitment to leading the industry through innovation and continuously finding better ways to support our doctors. By providing the structure, resources, and strategic partnership needed to scale new practice locations, we help practices and associates turn their growth goals into reality.” – Dr. Daryl Dudum, Co-CEO, Specialty1 Partners

“This opportunity didn’t just change how I practice—it changed my career trajectory. I now get to lead, build relationships, and grow something that reflects my clinical philosophy and patient values.” – Dr. Danielle I. Holland, DMD, Partner, West Shore Oral Surgery

Specialty1 Partners continues to advance expansion opportunities across the country. This momentum reflects the organization’s long-term commitment to building scalable, doctor-led platforms that shape the future of specialty dentistry.
