Dental school prepared you for filling cavities and performing root canals, but did it prepare you to be a successful small business owner or equip you to grow and expand your dental practice? Maybe not. But, we have good news! You don’t have to get your MBA to build a business that thrives; you just have to choose the right partners.

Working with a lender who is experienced in the dental industry is an essential part of that equation. We understand the unique needs of dentists because we’ve financed over $1.5 billion in dental practice loans for expansion, construction, commercial real estate and various other business purposes.

Whether you are a general dentist, pediatric dentist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist or prosthodontist—we are the financing partner with the knowledge and experience that can help you build the practice of your dreams.
