A Better Way To Build The Future

At Operation Dental, we believe there’s a better way to support dentists, teams, and patients — one that puts people first.

Our story began with Dr. Peter Kelly, our Co-Founder and CEO. After experiencing both the corporate DSO environment and private practice ownership, Dr. Kelly saw an opportunity to redefine what a dental support organization could be. He set out to create a model built on integrity, collaboration, and empowerment, not just growth and the bottom line.

Together with Co-Founder Matt Robinson, MBA, they built Operation Dental to combine the best of both worlds: the resources and community of a group organization, and the independence and personal connection of private practice.
