For patients

Curious who runs your dental office?

If your dentist is one of the practices above, here's what Smile 23 Management does and doesn't do.

What is Smile 23 Management?

We're a dental support organization (DSO). We handle the business side of running a dental office, like staffing, billing, insurance, technology and marketing, for a group of independent-branded practices in New York, Georgia and Virginia.

Does Smile 23 decide my treatment?

No. Your dentist and their clinical team make every treatment decision. Our job is to make sure they have the staff, tools and support to focus on your care.

Will my dental office change?

Your practice keeps its name, its doctors and its team. Over time you may notice things like easier scheduling, clearer billing and updated equipment.

Who do I contact about an appointment or a bill?

Call your practice directly. Phone numbers for every office are listed in Our Practices above, and the front desk team can help with scheduling, insurance and billing questions.

Can I see a specialist within the network?

In Atlanta, general practices can refer to Dental Specialists of Buckhead for periodontal and endodontic care. Smile Design Manhattan has specialists in-house. Ask your dentist whether a referral makes sense for you.

Contact

Let's talk.

Practice owners and investors: every conversation is confidential. Patients: please call your practice directly.
