Dental support organization managing 2,800+ affiliated practices across 39 states
Heartland Dental operates a multi-state DSO (dental support organization) backbone serving over 2,800 doctors across 1,700+ locations. The tech stack mixes clinical tools (Dentrix, iTero Scanner, WaveOne Gold) with enterprise infrastructure (SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, Azure/GCP), and active hiring is concentrated in healthcare operations roles rather than engineering—reflecting a practice-support model where operational scaling and system implementation drive growth, not product development.
Notable leadership hires: Master Data Management Lead, Treasury Director, Director HCM Implementation
Heartland Dental is a privately held dental support organization founded in 1997 and headquartered in Effingham, Illinois. It provides non-clinical administrative support—human resources, finance, IT, compliance, recruiting—to affiliated dentists and their practice teams across 39 states and the District of Columbia. The company operates a doctor-led model where supported dentists retain clinical and management authority while Heartland handles back-office workflows: payroll, benefits, insurance claims, inventory tracking, and practice systems integration. With over 10,000 employees and accelerating hiring focused on healthcare and operations roles, Heartland is actively implementing new practice management systems and onboarding both new affiliate doctors and support staff.
