Gen4 Dental Partners, a Thurston Group portfolio company acquired Smile One Services, a multi-specialty dental organization based in Grand Haven, Michigan. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Smile One Services is Michigan’s first multi-specialty dental organization out of Grand Haven, Michigan. Dr. Darren Riopelle has over 20 years of experience owning and operating multi-specialty practices.
A portfolio company of Thurston Group, Gen4 Dental Partners is one of the fastest growing, and highly innovative dental services organizations, providing world-class support to leading providers of dental services. Thurston Group is a Chicago-based private equity firm that focuses on building industry-leading companies in the healthcare and related business services sectors.
The acquisition expands Gen4 Dental Partner’s reach into Michigan, and further diversifies the Gen4 platform’s capabilities into multi-specialty dentistry. The new partnership brings a network of practices across West Michigan that includes general dentistry, pediatric dentistry and orthodontic practices as well as a successful pediatric dental surgery center into the Gen4 Dental Partners family.
Smile One Services founder and CEO, Darren Riopelle, D.D.S. said, “Our partnership with Gen4 Dental Partners puts patient care first while creating a better future for our providers, teams, and ultimately, our patients.” This is the second Gen4 Dental Partners acquisition of 2022. Previously, it acquired Harris Dental, a Phoenix, Arizona based dental practice. More information about this transaction can be found here as well as here.
