North American Dental Group

About

North American Dental Group (NADG) is a prominent dental service organization (DSO) dedicated to transforming the dental experience for patients, clinicians, and support teams. Founded in 2008 by Ken Cooper and Dr. Andrew Matta, the company is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. NADG's core mission is to provide best-in-class dental care to every patient during every visit. This is achieved by offering non-clinical administrative support to a vast network of affiliated dental practices, allowing dental professionals to focus entirely on clinical care and the patient experience. The support services provided by NADG are comprehensive, encompassing human resources, marketing, information technology, payroll, accounting, and group purchasing. This model empowers dentists with clinical autonomy while benefiting from the operational efficiencies of a large-scale organization. The company's unique structure is centered around the Professional Dental Alliance (PDA), a dentist-led group that guides clinical activities and establishes high standards for patient care. This collaborative approach, which includes an Oral Health Board, ensures that clinical decisions are made by experienced dental professionals, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. NADG's values are rooted in being emotionally intelligent, approachable educators, and displaying a 'healthy bravado,' which reflects the team's confidence in their ability to deliver exceptional care. Supporting over 250 dental practices across 15 states, NADG and its affiliated practices employ more than 3,000 team members. The organization is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, striving to create a workplace where every team member feels valued and respected. In 2019, NADG was acquired by Jacobs Holding, a global investment firm, which has further enabled its growth and established it as part of the world's first transatlantic dental support organization in partnership with Colosseum Dental Group.
