At Stepping Stone Dental Partners we believe private, independently run dental practices play an essential role in our communities. Our inspiration is in advancing private practice by preserving the quality of care that an independent clinic provides, while supporting our dentists with proven management systems, superior purchasing power and deep experience in insurance negotiation and day-to-day business operations. Our dentists are then able to focus on what they enjoy most; practicing dentistry.

Stepping Stone is not another big box corporation that seeks to own and brand community dental practices. Our goal is to maintain the independence of each practice, branding it locally, and ultimately transferring ownership to the dentist. We partner with dentists who want the satisfaction of independent practice, but don't want the sole risk and headaches associated with a business start-up. They are able to assume an existing client base, grow their practice, develop long term relationships with their patients, and ease into their managerial and ownership role over the course of time.

Whether you’re retiring, or an aspiring practice owner, Stepping Stone is here to help you take the first step.
