Our Mission
Built by dentists. Designed for doctors.
Laurel Bay Dental Group was founded on a simple belief: the best dental care comes from doctors who are free to be doctors. We handle the complexity of running a modern practice, so you don't have to.
Our dentist-led model means every operational decision is made with the clinical team in mind. We are not a management company that happens to work with dentists. We are a dental organization that happens to be expert at management.
Clinical Independence, Always
Treatment decisions are yours. We support the business, you lead the chair.
True Partnership
Equity participation, revenue sharing, and long-term alignment, not just a service contract.
Measurable Practice Growth
Data-driven operations, proven workflows, and dedicated growth coaches in every region.

Why Laurel Bay
The Laurel Bay difference.
What sets a doctor-first DSO apart isn't just what we offer, it's how we operate.
01
Your license, your call.
Laurel Bay does not influence clinical decisions. Treatment planning, referral patterns, and the standard of care belong entirely to you, always.
02
Transparent performance data.
Every supported doctor gets real-time dashboards showing their practice metrics, benchmarked against regional and national peers, with no data gatekeeping.
03
Equity, not just salary.
Supported doctors participate in Laurel Bay's growth through equity structures, aligned incentives that reward the people who actually build the organization.
04
A network that supports you.
Laurel Bay doctors share clinical insights, refer to each other, collaborate on cases, and take part in continuing education through our growing professional community.
05
Technology that simplifies.
We only deploy technology that makes life easier inside the practice, not tools that add complexity for the sake of reporting. Our test: "So what does this do for the doctor?"
06
Community, not just company.
Our foundation funds free and reduced-cost care in underserved markets. Supported doctors volunteer, lead, and help build the communities where our practices live.
Operational Support
Everything behind the chair, handled.
Our non-clinical support infrastructure gives supported practices the resources of a large organization, without giving up the feel of a hometown practice.
Revenue Cycle Management
End-to-end billing, insurance verification, coding audits, and collections management. Our RCM team typically increases net collections by 8-14% within the first year.
Marketing & Patient Growth
Local SEO, reputation management, social media, targeted digital campaigns, and community outreach, all coordinated by a dedicated practice marketing strategist.
Human Resources
Full HR infrastructure including hiring support, onboarding, performance management, benefits administration, and compliance, for every role in the practice.
Technology & DSO Infrastructure
Centralized practice management software, digital imaging, patient communication platforms, cybersecurity, and IT support, all standardized across the network.
Clinical Excellence Programs
Peer-to-peer CE networks, mentorship for associates, clinical protocols, and access to specialists across the Laurel Bay network, because your growth matters to us.
Finance & Accounting
Monthly financial reporting, practice benchmarking, accounts payable, payroll processing, and strategic financial advisory, backed by a team of dental-industry CFOs.
Facilities & Real Estate
Lease negotiations, facility upgrades, de novo site selection, and construction project management. We build the spaces where great dentistry happens.
Compliance & Risk Management
OSHA and HIPAA compliance, dental board regulatory guidance, malpractice support, and insurance optimization, so you practice with confidence and peace of mind.
Procurement & Supplies
Group purchasing power means significant savings on dental supplies, equipment, lab fees, and office consumables, typically 18-25% below retail for supported practices.
