Great Expressions Grows to Nearly 100 Practices in Florida Through Dentaland Affiliation

FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA – January 8, 2016 – Great Expressions Dental Centers (GEDC), a leading dental service organization, today announced its affiliation with Dentaland, a conglomerate of seven dental practices in Southeastern Florida. The affiliation extends the organization’s footprint to nearly 100 offices in the state.

The original Dentaland practice was founded by Dr. Jeffrey Feingold, Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, in 1975. It has since grown to seven practices with 27 general dentists and specialists, 11 dental hygienists, and a total of 100 other staff members. For over 40 years, Dr. Feingold has led Dentaland’s doctors and staff in meeting the dental health needs of more than two million patients through cutting-edge treatment. Today, across the organization’s seven locations, services include cosmetic dentistry, periodontics, implants, oral surgery, orthodontics, Invisalign, pediatric dentistry, and digital technologies.

“Our continued growth and investment in Florida are a direct reflection of the positive patient response to our services that we’ve seen in the area,” said Richard Beckman, CEO of Great Expressions Dental Centers. “Dentaland has long been a valued community partner in Southeastern Florida from Aventura to Melbourne; we look forward to carrying on the tradition of tremendous patient service and care that they have established.”

This affiliation will extend new offerings to patients, including The Great Expressions Smile Protection PlanSM, which provides a discount dental plan membership for patients without insurance. The partnership will also offer expanded medical benefits to employees across the seven offices.

“Joining forces with Great Expressions Dental Centers is a step in the right direction for Dentaland’s staff and patients alike,” said Dr. Feingold. “I established a model of quality care for patients at affordable fees when I opened the first Dentaland and have sustained that philosophy throughout years of the organization’s growth. Both Dentaland and Great Expressions have an impressive history of commitment to all-inclusive patient care. This shared mission will ensure a seamless transition and bring expanded offerings to our longtime patients.”
