Smile Brands will provide full-service administrative support to the practice, which includes purchasing, payroll, accounting, IT, billing, facilities management, and marketing. Existing staff will remain in place and the business will continue to operate under the Ovilla Family Dentistry name.
Dr. Margaret Shaw founded Ovilla Family Dentistry in 1995 with the goal of bringing healthy, beautiful smiles to patients of all ages. Today, Dr. Margaret Shaw leads a staff of seven from their growing Ovilla location which provides general preventative and restorative care, specialty care, cosmetic dentistry, and emergency services.
When it came time to consider partnering with a DSO, Dr. Shaw specifically sought out Smile Brands. “When looking to affiliate with a larger partner, it was important for us to find an organization that shares our values,” explains Dr. Shaw. “The Smile Brands’ culture is about creating win-win relationships with affiliated providers, patients, and the communities they serve. That aligns perfectly with our way of practicing dentistry.” Dr. Shaw adds, “I am excited to combine my long history of comprehensive care with Smile Brands’ philosophies and abilities to support and sustain growth. I look forward to expanding the spectrum of services we can provide our patients through the partnership.”
