SGA Dental Partners (“SGA”), a leading dental service organization and a portfolio company of Thurston Group, is thrilled to announce its recent acquisition of Dr. James Wilson’s esteemed dental practice in Shelby, North Carolina.
Dr. Wilson expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “I am thrilled to be part of SGA. The culture and values that SGA holds align perfectly with what I wanted. It was important for me to partner with a group that would take care of my team, provide top-tier support, and allow me to retain clinical autonomy. In a short time, SGA has done this and more.”
Since its inception, SGA has emphasized same-store organic growth, and in 2023, SGA practices achieved industry-leading year-over-year revenue growth. Dr. Wilson’s practice is a quintessential SGA Dental target acquisition, representing tremendous growth opportunities through expansion and added services in an attractive market. A key component of SGA’s organic growth strategy is to measure and identify untapped patient demand in its affiliated practices, then increase the capacity of its practices through expansion projects and recruiting additional providers.
Dr. Zack Bentley, chief development officer of SGA, commented, “When our team met with Dr. Wilson, we knew he would be a tremendous partner and a great cultural fit for our organization. I am proud to partner with a clinician and person of his caliber and am excited to build upon his tremendous legacy and reputation.”
This new partnership marks an exciting phase of growth as SGA continues to focus on expanding its presence in high-growth markets, with particular emphasis on the Carolinas—one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. With numerous future partnerships on the horizon, SGA will continue to partner with top-tier clinicians throughout the Carolinas and across the entire Southeast, furthering its track record of industry-leading growth and success.
