EFFINGHAM, Illinois--Heartland Dental Care, Inc. acquired four dental practices and opened three new dental care facilities during fourth quarter 2008.

The four acquisitions include one practice in Germantown, Tenn., one in Springfield, Va., and two in McKinney, Texas. Three new dental facilities opened during fourth quarter include locations in Hendersonville, Tenn., Sycamore, Ill., and Liberty Township, Ohio.

This brings the total number of Heartland Dental Care practices to 230.

"We are excited to extend our reach into these communities," said Richard E. Workman, DMD, CEO and president of Heartland Dental Care, Inc. "These seven acquisitions and start-up practices allow us to continue our objective to provide dental care in a hometown atmosphere."

"At the beginning of 2008, we set out to add 25 to 30 practices to the Heartland Dental Care family, and that's just what we've done," Workman said. "We plan to continue our growth in 2009 by adding both single-office practices as well as group acquisitions."

Dr. Bradley Frey recently joined Heartland Dental Care in a denovo practice in Liberty Township, Ohio.

"I was immediately attracted to the care Heartland-associated offices offer their patients," said Dr. Frey. "And the Heartland operational support team has a great understanding of how to manage dental practices. They have taught me their basic and proven dental care model to follow, and they have allowed me to personalize it for myself. That is what lets me to be the best I can be--for my patients and for my dental team!"
