MB2 Dental, the first and largest dental partnership organization (DPO) nationwide, has partnered with Knoxville Dental Center in Knoxville, Iowa, marking its entrance into its 44th state, further solidifying its national presence.
The Knoxville Dental Center is owned and operated by Dr. Andrew Secory. He built the practice on the premise that prevention is the key to maintaining oral health. The group is committed to providing excellent patient care and strives to elevate the patient experience.
“I am beyond excited to be a part of MB2 Dental’s growing brand and look forward to the positive impact the partnership will have on our practice,” said Dr. Secory. “MB2 Dental provides us with the support system to keep our practice thriving while maintaining the clinical autonomy we are accustomed to.”
MB2 Dental’s partnership with the Knoxville Dental Center expands its reach to Iowa, its fifth new state in 2024, following Massachusetts, South Carolina, Vermont, and West Virginia.
Continuing its growth trajectory, this latest announcement follows the company’s completion of its third recapitalization event in just seven years.
“When adding any new practice, we consider an organization’s commitment to their patients and desire to better our profession. Dr. Secory models that throughout his practice,” said Dr. Chris Steven Villanueva, MB2 Dental’s founder and chief executive officer. “Not only are we partnering with such a fantastic practice but reaching another company milestone as entering Iowa is a significant achievement for us. This is certainly a strong ending to another tremendous growth year for our company.”
The Knoxville Dental Center provides comprehensive care for all family members, from children to older adults. Services include extractions, crowns and bridges, whitening, cosmetic dentistry, root canals, dentures/partials, veneers, and regular cleanings and checkups.
About MB2 Dental
Dallas-based MB2 Dental is a first-of-its-kind dental partnership organization founded in 2007 and led by dentist and entrepreneur Dr. Chris Steven Villanueva.

MB2 Dental’s model is designed to preserve the integrity of the dental profession in a rapidly consolidating market. The Company empowers dentists to preserve their profession by ensuring clinical autonomy and providing resources and support to its doctor owners.
Since its founding, MB2 Dental has partnered with more than 700 general and specialty dental practices across 44 states. The Company has undergone three recapitalization events, most recently partnering with private equity firm Warburg Pincus in 2024.
