Smile Partners USA Selects Denticon to Modernize Operations and Support Scalable Growth Across 120 Locations
Multi-state DSO transitions to Denticon, replacing on-premise infrastructure with a cloud-based platform built to scale.
IRVINE, CA — May 19, 2026 — Smile Partners USA, a multi-state dental support organization (DSO) with 120 locations across Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, has selected Denticon by Planet DDS as its enterprise practice management platform.
At the heart of Smile Partners USA is a straightforward belief: Dental care means more than treatments. It is about consistent support from familiar faces who know each patient’s smile best. Across its network, the organization has built its reputation on trust, long-term relationships, and a commitment to making high-quality, compassionate dentistry accessible to every community it serves.
Sustaining that standard of care at scale requires technology that works quietly in the background, so clinicians can stay focused on patients. That philosophy drives how Smile Partners approaches every technology decision.
Modernizing Infrastructure for Greater Scale with Denticon
As Smile Partners USA continued expanding, its previous platform created mounting operational complexity. On-premise servers, terminal server management, licensing overhead, database administration, and the need for local hardware maintenance consumed significant IT resources.
For a DSO in constant growth mode, constraints of an on-premise system created challenges to be able to rapidly and repeatedly scale, as well as being able to introduce new technologies to further enhance the patient experience and deliver exceptional care.
Leadership sought a cloud-based platform that could eliminate infrastructure burden, streamline onboarding, and support the organization’s centralized operating model. After a thorough evaluation, Smile Partners selected Denticon.
“As we continue to grow, innovation in technology plays a key role in scaling our support and enhancing the patient experience across our network. Denticon gives us the modern, cloud-based foundation we need to move quickly, onboard new locations with confidence, and keep our teams focused on delivering excellent care rather than managing infrastructure.” —Dave Gaspar, CEO of Smile Partners USA
Technology as an Enabler of Clinical Excellence
Smile Partners’ technology team believes its systems should strengthen clinical care, not complicate it. That means understanding the day-to-day realities of doctors, hygienists, and staff, and utilizing infrastructure that makes care more efficient, safer, and easier to deliver.
That philosophy directly supports one of Smile Partners’ core values: Clinical Excellence. When technology is dependable and support is strong, clinicians are free to focus on what they do best. With 1,200 employees across the network, Smile Partners is prioritizing a thoughtful implementation approach that includes robust training and dedicated support resources to ensure a smooth transition.
“Smile Partners USA has built something genuine across six states: a network patients trust because the care is consistent and the people delivering it are supported. Moving to Denticon is a significant step, and we’re committed to making that transition as seamless as possible for their teams. We look forward to supporting them as they scale.” —said Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS
