About ExcellenceDental Network
Founded in East Hartford, Connecticut, Excellence Dental Network LLC was established to give independent dental practices access to the same operational infrastructure that large dental groups enjoy — without sacrificing their independence.

"To empower dental practices to focus on patient care while we handle operational excellence."
We started Excellence Dental Network because we saw talented dentists spending 40% of their time on administrative tasks instead of caring for patients. That's a problem we know how to solve.
By partnering with us, dental practices gain a dedicated team of administrative professionals, financial analysts, technology specialists, and marketing experts — all working together to build a stronger practice.
Patient-Centered
Every operational decision we help make is filtered through one question: does this improve the patient experience?
Transparent & Fair
We foster transparent, fair, and competitive workplaces, honoring the diversity of each practice and its team.
Growth-Oriented
We nurture professional and personal growth — for dental staff, office managers, and clinical directors alike.
Operationally Excellent
State-of-the-art facilities matched by supportive community and leadership. Excellence is our standard, not our aspiration.

What Is a Dental Service Organization?
A Dental Service Organization (DSO) provides shared administrative, operational, and business services to multiple dental practices. Think of it as having a full corporate support team — without building one yourself.
DSOs like Excellence Dental Network allow dentists to focus entirely on clinical excellence while we manage the business complexity behind the scenes. The result: better patient care, lower costs, and faster growth.
