Espire Dental, a US-based cosmetic and multi-speciality dental group, has announced the acquisition of Sauvage (Sauvage Dentistry).

Sauvage, a five-practice dental group based in Seattle, Washington, is now part of Espire Dental’s network.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Espire Dental is an integrated group of private practices. The company aims to improve the dental experience for both providers and team members.

With 39 practices across Colorado, California, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Texas, and now Washington, the dental group continues to expand its footprint.

The company seeks to deliver patient care, clinical services, and a fulfilling work environment via a new practice category, an integrated dental organisation (IDO).

The acquisition of this group of dental practices in the Pacific Northwest enhances Espire Dental’s market presence, bringing advanced dental and cosmetic care to patients in Seattle and surrounding areas.

Sauvage founder Paul Sauvage said: “When I met the team at Espire, I knew they were the best fit for our practices, providers, and team members, and I am thrilled to partner together with Espire to help take us to the next stage of growth.”

Espire Dental provides business support services to its practices, including operations leadership, clinical training, human resources, marketing, insurance cycle management, and accounting.

This comprehensive support allows Espire Dental’s dentists and teams to focus on patient care and building patient relationships.

Espire Dental CEO Tim Hill said: “Dr. Sauvage, along with his clinical providers and support teams have long been known for delivering outstanding dental care to the growing downtown Seattle and Redmond communities.

“Espire is proud to continue this family legacy and further enhance the exceptional care provided by Dr. Sauvage and his dedicated team. Our shared values make this partnership a perfect fit.

“We are honoured to be the partner of choice for premier, private-practice dentists who typically don’t join DSO groups, and we are thrilled that Dr. Sauvage selected us as his partner.”

The latest deal closely follows Espire Dental’s recent acquisition of Tranquility Dental Wellness, a four-practice dental group based in Tacoma, Washington.
