Building upon its record-setting growth of adding more than 150 newly supported offices in 2020, Heartland Dental announced ambitious plans for further group practice affiliation opportunities across the nation this year.

Heartland Dental now supports more than 1,800 dentists in over 1,150 offices across 38 states.

And then they also have to have a serious amount of compassion, so they can help people to be comfortable and to be excited about dentistry." - Sherrie Busby, Dental Assistant Training Developer and OSHA Training Developer To all the Dental Assistants in our Supported Offices and beyond - Happy Dental Assistants Recognition Week!
