Our Story

We looked at what dentistry was becoming. And said no.

Rising Tide was built by dentists who believed private practice was worth preserving, and that a new partnership model was needed to protect it.

“A rising tide lifts all boats.”

The founding principle of Rising Tide Dental Partners

Core Pillars

Four pillars that do not bend under pressure.

Empowering and partnering with dental professionals lets us build a platform that strengthens clinical care, business operations and practice ownership at once. Excellence in patient care and in practice management, hand in hand. Together, we rise.

01

Integrity & Honesty

We conduct ourselves with integrity and honesty in every interaction with partners, patients, employees and ourselves. It starts at the top and runs through every level of the organization.

02

Generosity & Gratitude

Shared success. When we reach our goals we celebrate everyone who contributed. We are grateful for the trust of our partners and build relationships that benefit both sides.

03

Innovation

Continuous improvement. We seek new solutions that improve the patient experience and the efficiency of the organization, and we embrace new technology and technique to deliver the highest quality of care.

04

Legacy

A lasting legacy we can all be proud of. As members of our communities we aim to make a positive impact and inspire others to join us. A rising tide lifts all ships.

The Journey

How we got here.

2023The idea takes shape

Founding dentists Dr. Anthony Leonetti and Dr. Steven Albert identify the gap between corporate consolidation and what dentists actually need. Months of conversations with practice owners confirm the demand for something genuinely different.

2024Rising Tide is founded

Incorporated with a governance structure that locks in dentist ownership permanently. Fifteen founding partner dentists sign the first partnership agreements. The model is built from the ground up.

2025The network launches

27 locations across 10 states. The board of directors expands to include more partner dentists. Central support services deepen and the network begins to generate real collective advantages.

202633 practices, 11 states

Six practices join as a group. A Chief Operating Officer joins the leadership team. The associate pathway and ownership track take shape. Arizona and Massachusetts are next.

The People Behind It

Built by dentists who have been where you are.

Fifteen founding partner dentists, every one still owning a practice and still seeing patients. Together they carry more than 250 years of clinical experience, and they put their own practices in first.

If this resonates, we would like to talk.
