Accelerate Dental (AD) is a dental partnership group (DPG) that empowers dentists with systems, information, and mentoring to help them grow their practices and achieve their unique visions. AD partners with doctor-owned, doctor-led practices by pairing clinical autonomy with the scale, training, and shared-services support needed to invest in people, technology, and the patient experience. Supporting a growing network of 40+ practices, AD operates like a high-standards professional services model for dentistry, bringing disciplined financial management, data-driven decision-making, repeatable playbooks, and trusted partnership to practice leaders.
