Lone Peak Dental Group Expands Pediatric Dentistry Reach with Acquisition of Two Vital Smiles Locations
Denver, CO – January 21, 2025 – Lone Peak Dental Group, a leader in pediatric dental care, is excited to announce its acquisition of two Vital Smiles offices in Georgia. Located in Albany and Norcross, these practices mark Lone Peak’s first entry into the Georgia market, furthering its mission to provide high-quality dental care for children in underserved communities.
The newly acquired Vital Smiles locations collectively house 12 experienced providers, including two orthodontists, and offer a comprehensive range of pediatric, orthodontic, and oral surgery services. Together, these offices serve thousands of children annually, with a focus on delivering accessible care through Medicaid.
“This growth aligns perfectly with Lone Peak’s mission to provide accessible, quality dental care to children and their families,” said Jennifer Mallon, Chief Development Officer of Lone Peak Dental Group. “By expanding into Georgia, we are reaching even more communities in need and continuing to make a difference in the lives of thousands of children each year.”
In 2024, Lone Peak Dental Group acquired six new practices and expanded into Tennessee. “These strategic acquisitions reflect our commitment to expanding access to quality dental care for children and families across the country,” Mallon added.
“We are thrilled to welcome the talented Vital Smiles teams and doctors into our family,” said Ray Caruso, CEO of Lone Peak Dental Group. “We believe their commitment to these communities aligns well with our Kidsperience mission of creating healthy habits that last a lifetime in a fun, engaging environment. We look forward to working with them and extending our unique approach to their local communities.”
Lone Peak Dental Group, which is proud to be part of the BlackRock Impact Opportunities Fund, now operates over 75 practices across 15 states, treating more than 580,000 children annually. The addition of Vital Smiles strengthens their mission to nurture healthy smiles and create a welcoming environment for children and their families.
The transition of the Vital Smiles locations to Lone Peak Dental Group’s network is designed to be seamless, with the existing team of doctors and staff remaining in place to provide continuity of care. Lone Peak’s integration team will ensure the new locations are fully supported and aligned with the organization’s high standards.
