About American Dental Companies

You spent years building a practice. You deserve more than just a paycheck from it. American Dental Companies (ADC) is a dental partnership organization based in Phoenix, Arizona — built specifically for independent and solo practice owners who want the backing of a larger organization without giving up what they've worked to create.

When you partner with ADC, we take the non-clinical aspect of your business off of your plate. Billing and collections, HR, insurance credentialing, compliance, marketing, and more — our central team handles it so you can focus on your patients and your clinical work.

But what sets ADC apart goes further than operations. Our partner dentists have the opportunity to invest in other practices across the ADC network and receive monthly profit distributions. That means your income isn't limited to what happens in your own operatories. You can build a retirement portfolio — built on dental, the industry you already know.

You keep your practice name. You keep your clinical autonomy. You keep your team. What you gain is the infrastructure, the support, and the path to long-term wealth that most solo dentists never get access to. If you're a practice owner who's ever felt like you're running a small business instead of practicing dentistry — or if you're thinking about what the next chapter looks like — we'd like to talk.
