A Dental Support Organization Built by Doctors to Elevate Dentistry

Being a dentist is a proud profession. It asks a great deal of the people who choose it. In 1997, Dr. Rick Workman of Effingham, Illinois, founded Heartland Dental as the first dental support organization. His vision was to help doctors lead their practices while having the support and resources to achieve new levels of success.

Only now, with our support model behind you, you’ll have the time and focus to provide more comprehensive care for those who come to see you. At a Heartland Dental supported practice, you’ll have the access and opportunity to learn and offer new procedures, connect with mentors and peers, and utilize the latest technology in your practice. That’s what happens when you become part of something greater.

What Supported Doctors Say About Heartland Dental Support.

“My philosophy is that dentists don’t need to own a building. They need to own their reputation. After years of slugging it out by myself, I decided that hey, I don’t have to go at this thing alone.”
