(Newswire.net — April 5, 2017) Calabasas, California — Western Dental & Orthodontics, the largest orthodontic services provider in California, recently acquired a network of dental offices in the southern California region. Michael Roub, Vice President of Business Development for Western Dental, confirmed that the company had purchased Smile Wide, an Irvine, California-based dental network, for an undisclosed amount. Fourteen of the network’s clinics were obtained in the deal, which includes facilities in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Riverside.

Western Dental & Orthodontics and its affiliated practice Brident Dental have over two hundred clinics in western states like California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas. The group has 160 clinics in California alone, and the acquisition of the Smile Wide network adds 14 new locations to the company’s roster. The group employs 4500 dental professionals, including general dental practitioners as well as dental specialists. Over two million patients receive dental care from the group’s network of clinic facilities. As a means of ensuring continuity in dental care coverage for Smile Wide’s existing patients, the group also announced that it will continue accepting patients who use the California state’s dental insurance program called Denti-Cal. Denti-Cal coverage is designed to provide dental insurance for the state’s low income residents.
