Smile Brands is the only DSO ever to be named Company of the Year by the American Business Awards. Judges cited the company’s impressive financial results, people-centric culture and high patient satisfaction as key criteria in their selection.
Steve Bilt, co-founder and CEO, created the company with the mission of delivering Smiles for Everyone®. Last November, the company was recognized by Glassdoor as one of the Top 50 Places to Work in the U.S.
“At Smile Brands our goal is to get more people into regular care by making dental visits easier, more affordable and more enjoyable,” said Bilt. “We’ve created a culture where every employee and affiliated provider knows how their efforts contribute to this mission, and I’m proud that our team’s accomplishments have been recognized today.”
In the past year, Smile Brands affiliated Bright Now! Dental, Monarch Dental and Castle Dental practices have continued to find innovative ways to make dental care more accessible with new, convenient locations, extended hours, online booking, flexible financing and discount plans, and more specialty services.
“Nearly half of adults don’t receive regular dental care and one-third claim they are embarrassed by the condition of their teeth, “explains Steve Bilt. “At Smile Brands, we’re working to change that one smile at a time.”
