Little Rock, Ark. (Sept. 22, 2022) — Rock Dental Brands announced today that the dental practice management organization has secured $45 million of additional committed debt financing from its current lending partner, Chicago-based Twin Brook Capital Partners. The increased commitment will provide Rock Dental with debt capital for additional acquisitions as Rock Dental continues to focus on expanding its footprint.

The increased financing facility is reflective of the strong and consistent economic performance of Rock Dental in recent years and its continuing growth. In the past 12 months, the company has affiliated with 14 additional clinics in Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri and most recently in Alabama. That expansion brought the number of dental offices partnered with Rock Dental Brands to 98.

In 2021 alone, Twin Brook Capital Partners committed $3.5 billion to private equity sponsors in support of health care transactions, completing 60 health care transactions across 33 sub-sectors of the industry.

“Rock Dental will continue to expand its footprint in order to bring quality oral health care to as many individuals as possible, and upsizing the facility with Twin Brook is an integral part of that plan,” said Rock Dental CEO Kristi Crum. “We are committed to smart, stable expansion. An upsized debt facility speaks to our track record as a growth-focused organization.” 

“We’re pleased to provide financing to support Rock Dental’s growth strategy and look forward to continuing to work with the team as they further scale and expand their business,” said Faraaz Kamran, senior partner at Twin Brook Capital Partners.

  • 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

    "How can I say as an individual provider, when I get out of school and open my practice, that I am providing better care than a group of doctors who have support with difficult cases and other specialists available for consultations? I don’t think anyone would disagree if I have a heart issue I want to go somewhere where there are multiple specialists that will take good care of me. I got into this because I feel that our organization can provide great quality and do it cost effectively. We are serious about quality. If we weren’t I wouldn’t 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."
