About dentte
Founded by dental professionals and business experts, we're transforming how dental practices operate, grow, and achieve premium exits.
Our Story
Dentte was born from recognizing a fundamental challenge in the dental industry. Our founder, Rick Alvarez, observed that exceptional dental practitioners were being forced to spend countless hours managing complex business operations that fall outside their expertise and passion.
With over 15 years of healthcare operations experience, Rick understood that the industry needed a comprehensive solution that would allow dentists to focus entirely on patient care while professional operators handled the business side with precision and transparency.
Rick developed a unique partnership model that ensures complete alignment between DentTe's success and the success of our practice partners. We operate on a transparent, fair-market-value fee structure for our management services, allowing dentists to realize the immediate benefits of improved efficiency and profitability.
Our ultimate goal is to position our partner practices to achieve premium, DSO-level exit valuations, often in the range of 10x EBITDA or higher. Through our strategic guidance and a partnership with a dentist-owned clinical entity, we create a pathway for practice owners to access the full financial potential of their life's work.
