What attracted us to the business

We were drawn to Allied’s unique model that puts physicians at the center—attracting the best surgeons in the country and aligning incentives to deliver superior care. The business is well-positioned to capitalize on strong secular trends: increasing demand for oral healthcare, growing patient volumes, and significant white space for consolidation in a highly fragmented sector. Allied’s culture of clinical leadership and focus on patient-first care stood out as a compelling foundation for sustainable growth.

Our investment will support Allied in expanding its service offering, scaling core operational capabilities, and executing a robust acquisition strategy—all while preserving its physician-led ethos.
