Six Specialty DSOs and Their Current Network Scale in 2026
Becker’s Dental Review provides a current-state snapshot of six specialty-focused dental DSOs and MSOs as of early 2026. Allied OMS operates more than 30 offices across 12 states; Beacon Oral Specialists has reached 106 locations in 12 states; Epic4 Specialty Partners supports 61 practices in 16 states; Smile Doctors runs more than 580 orthodontic offices in 36 states; Specialized Dental Partners has exceeded 275 offices in 36 states; and Specialty1 Partners operates more than 220 offices in 28 states. The piece illustrates the scale specialty DSO platforms have reached and the continued geographic diversification of dentistry’s consolidation wave across oral surgery, orthodontics, and related specialties.
Specialty DSO networks have grown to a scale where geographic reach and service-line breadth are now standard competitive baselines — not differentiators. For operators, investors, and advisors in dental and specialty care, this snapshot provides a quick benchmark for network size, multi-state expansion, and the pace of consolidation across key specialties.
