Inc. revealed last week that Transparent Dental Group (Smile Obsession) ranks No. 57 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

This prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—independent, entrepreneurial businesses.
Smile Obsession
Dr. Viren Patel, owner and CEO of Smile Obsession, aimed to build a best-in-class privately owned dental group in the Chicagoland market. “We are incredibly honored to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire organization. The commitment to embracing new technologies, constant change, and providing exceptional patient experiences from every dentist and employee of Smile Obsession has been the driving force behind our growth. Focusing on people and patients before profits was the key to our success. What started as one office during COVID in 2020 has grown to 15 locations today. The plan is to keep growing and reach 18 locations by the end of this year.”
Smile Obsession has redefined the way dental offices operate. As a completely centralized model, the offices do not have phones or admin staff. Clinical teams focus on the patients in each office, while the centralized support center in Oakbrook Terrace manages the administrative duties of running a dental office. Jacquelyn Vasquez oversees operations, Jenesis Lopez manages facilities and procurement, and Dr. Brittney Borga, as chief dental officer, brings clinical leadership to over thirty dentists within this growing group. Smile Obsession’s growth trajectory has been marked by strategic acquisitions, the building of new dental offices, the implementation of cutting-edge dental technologies, and a customer-first approach. The company continues to expand its footprint while adapting to the evolving needs of dental patients.
