Sebring Software acquires orthodontic companies

“Simon Orthodontic Centers” of Miami, FL, and “Implant, General & Cosmetic Dentistry” of Tampa Bay, FL, to Join Sebring’s Growing Portfolio of Dental Practice Offices Under Management.

Sebring Software, Inc. (“Sebring”) (SMXI), a growing Dental Practice Management company with operations in Arizona and Florida, has purchased, and entered into Management Agreements to manage, the administrative operations of two practices in Florida; “Simon Orthodontic Centers” (SOC) of Miami, FL, and “Implant, General & Cosmetic Dentistry” (IGCD) of Tampa Bay, FL.  The acquisitions bring the total number of offices under Sebring’s management to 37.

Leif Andersen, Sebring President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are moving forward with our strategy to provide administrative and management services to dental practices, and have strengthened our base in Florida with these agreements.  Our goal has always been to make strategic transactions to bring top talent to Sebring as we expand. The addition of Dr. Jan Simon from Simon Orthodontic Centers, and Dr. Hani Tadros from Implant, General & Cosmetic Dentistry, will strengthen our expertise and build our portfolio of practices.  It is important to note that day-to-day operations of these practices will not change, although back-office duties will consolidate to our operational headquarters in Clearwater.  We have built a strong team of experienced doctors with significant experience in running offices, and we will utilize their expertise to strengthen both of these practices.  We look forward to integrating both practices to the Sebring Family in the coming quarter, and moving ahead with our execution plan to manage additional practices.”
