Rock Dental Brands Hires New Chief Finance Officer, Adds New Transformation Team to Enhance Technology, Fuel Continued Growth

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (May 1, 2025) — Rock Dental Brands, a leading dental service organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas, is pleased to announce the appointment of Abhi Nyatee as its new Chief Financial Officer. In this role, Nyatee will serve as a strategic and operational advisor to the executive leadership team, championing financial stewardship, operational efficiency, and scalable growth.

Under Nyatee’s leadership, Rock Dental Brands is merging Finance and Technology to foster collaboration, optimize operations and enhance enterprise-wide efficiency.

A proven global finance and strategy executive, Nyatee brings more than 18 years of experience across public and private equity-backed companies. His background spans a wide range of industries—including healthcare, insurance, software, SaaS, professional services, telecom, and manufacturing—where he has consistently delivered strategic operational improvements and long-term value. 

Most recently, Nyatee served as Head of Finance and Strategy at Advantage Dental Plus, overseeing critical areas including FP&A, business analytics, accounting, transformation, business development, revenue cycle management, and real estate. Prior to that, he was Vice President of FP&A and Corporate Strategy at DentaQuest, where he led a major strategic realignment that resulted in the $2.5 billion acquisition of DentaQuest by Sun Life—one of the largest transactions in dental insurance history.

“Abhi combines analytical precision with visionary leadership,” said Kristi Casey, CEO of Rock Dental Brands. “He’s known for reshaping financial and operational models, and his arrival comes at a pivotal moment as Rock continues to aggressively expand. By bringing together finance, technology, and analytics, we’re positioning Rock for sustained innovation and growth.”

Rock Dental Brands is well-positioned to disrupt the DSO industry with the most recent announcement of a $90 million investment from lending partners to fuel the organization’s ongoing expansion efforts, enhancing access to high-quality oral care across communities in the central and southeast U.S.. Adding Nyatee to the executive leadership team will help support the company’s broader vision to accelerate its market expansion. “I’m incredibly excited to join Rock Dental Brands at such an exciting time,” said Nyatee. “There’s a clear vision here to not only grow, but to reinvent how we operate through innovation, data, and technology. I look forward to working alongside this talented team to build on the company’s momentum and create a scalable, efficient, and future-ready organization.”

Nyatee holds a Master’s in Finance from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he graduated with honors and was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma. He also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from ICFAI Tech Institute.

  • Job Title: Westrock Orthodontics

    "The decision to affiliate with Rock Dental Brands was easy. They are a dental practice management group that is founded by dentists and focuses on putting patients first. This affiliation has not only relieved harrowing administrative tasks, but also allowed me to keep my professional autonomy and set my own schedule. All of this, plus Rock Dental Brands’ proven track record, I am able to trust them to do the right thing for my practice and my patients."

  • Job Title: Owner Founder | Chief Dental Officer

    When Rock Dental Brands was started there was an underlying culture laid down to do what is best for the patient every time and the practice will take care of itself. This culture has been practiced by our doctors, our staff and our management team from the inception. Every day we treat patients and the doctors and office teams are supported by our home office and the management team. This team effort allows us to provide great dental care by allowing the doctors to concentrate on what they do best……which is to take care of patients. We continue to strive to improve our dentistry that we provide in a warm, friendly environment. Being a part of Rock Dental Brands allows for discussion between specialists that only adds to the quality of care the patient receives. “We are serious about quality, if we weren’t, I would not be a part of it."

  • Job Title: Owner | Pediatric Dentist

    "Rock Dental Brands prides themselves on taking care of their patients before profits. I was in a place in my life where I wanted to be with a group who was owned by dentists, practiced dentistry, and knew what it is like to own a business and to provide excellent patient care. Rock Dental has wonderful values that align with my own core values. I love that about them."

  • Job Title: Owner Founder | Orthodontist

    "I love to see patients - that's why I became an orthodontist. What I don't love is bills, past due accounts, managing employee 401(k)'s, bonuses, marketing, and of course countless other issues that unexpectedly arise each day. Rock Dental Brands has taken many things off my hands leaving me free to concentrate on what I love: treating patients. The partnership between Rock Dental and our team "on the ground" has been wonderful. Rock Dental is an extension of our team that benefits our practice and our patients in way that I was unable to provide myself."
