We improve healthcare in our practice communities by transferring the expertise and experience of one generation of dentists to the next. We honor the life’s work of dentists by ensuring that their legacy, respect for patients and care will be continued and built upon after they are no longer practicing. Legacy Dental Service Organization provides dentists with peace of mind with transitions that are patient- and community-centric, prioritizing team, quality of care and experience.

Growing with the industry
The dental industry is rapidly evolving and consolidating. Our approach is to ensure that our practices enjoy the benefits and support of a dental services organization with core community values and foundations built on service and patient care.
Transition FAQs
Transitions can come in various shapes and sizes and can vary based upon the dentist's wants and needs. We have successfully integrated practices with dentists that retired immediately, as well as dentists who wanted to continue to practice but not manage and own. We can create flexible structures that suit unique needs.
Alison Freeman
I love a great smile. It is the first thing I notice when I meet someone. I consider it a gift that I can give someone a healthy, happy, confident smile of their dreams. Dentistry, through its perfect blend of science and art, has allowed me to touch the lives of many.
Not everyone comes to see me professionally for esthetic reasons. Many people sit in my chair and are struggling with pain in their head, neck, or jaw joint. Many people are struggling with poor sleep. Spending time helping these patients manage their pain and reclaim their lives in a non-invasive way is what brings me the truest sense of accomplishment. In this way, dentistry has provided me a deeply personal way to connect with and help others.
