What Makes Lakeside Special

Lakeside Dental Management provides exceptional dental practice management and leadership support. Our team brings decades of experience in pediatric dental and orthodontic practice management and can leverage our lending, vendor, and hands-on expertise and training to any practice seeking additional support. Lakeside Dental Management’s affiliated practices have a partner that is dedicated to supporting a successful practice built upon a foundation centered around excellent clinical care and patient experience.

Expert Support with a Focus on Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Lakeside Dental Management’s foundation was built upon the system and practice philosophy of our Weaver and Stratton Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics supported practice. This practice was founded in 1981 and recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. The Lakeside leadership and management team brings more than 150 years of combined pediatric dentistry and orthodontics support services experience.

The Lakeside team is prepared to support pediatric dental and orthodontic practices in many ways. Our support team is able to help refine and fine-tune systems or become a partner by providing continued department level support. We provide the tailored, custom support that is required for a clinical team to focus on excellent treatment and patient experience.

Our Mission

Lakeside Dental Management’s mission is to provide superior support to our affiliated practices, their teams, and their patients and families through leadership, operations, and expertise that is grounded in empathy, compassion, and diligence. Our team is responsible for supporting our affiliated practices to a level that allows the providers and clinical and administrative teams to focus on providing excellent clinical care and patient experience.

Lakeside Dental Management’s company decisions are measured by the answers to two questions – Does it provide a better job for our team members? – or – Does it make the dental experience better for our patients and their parents? “Yes” must be the answer to either question. The best decisions will be those that answer “yes” to both.

Your Ally in Success

What do we actually do to help our partner practices thrive? We leverage our expertise in areas like training, leadership development, financing, hiring, procurement, and business administration so that our partner dentists don’t have to think about those things. If we do our job right (and we like to think we do), our partners can put all their energy towards caring for their patients and stop having to worry about being small business owners as well as dentists.

What Makes Us a Great Partner?

We only move forward with partnerships that feel like a great fit for all involved so that we can give each of our partner practices a high level of care and attention. We’re not offering a one-size-fits-all approach either — our focus on pediatrics and orthodontics means we’re experts on the unique needs of those practices. Plus, everything we do is grounded in core values like honesty, integrity, responsibility, compassion, and respect for diversity.
