Deltona, FL – A new dental practice, Modern Dentists of Deltona Lakes, has opened its doors in our community, located at 2160 Howland Boulevard. This opening signifies an expansion of dental care options for residents and also represents a milestone for EKOS Dental Group, as it becomes the 20th practice in their growing network across Florida. The addition of this Deltona practice further expands EKOS Dental Group’s presence within Volusia County.
EKOS Dental Group, founded by Florida dentist Dr. Sean Tomalty, aims to provide dentists with the operational resources typically associated with larger dental organizations. This approach allows local practices to maintain their clinical autonomy and individual identity. The name EKOS, derived from the ancient Greek word for “home,” reflects the group's mission to create a professional dental home for doctors, team members, and patients. As the group has expanded, its business model has continued to focus on supporting dentists rather than dictating clinical decisions.
Practices affiliating with EKOS, such as Modern Dentists of Deltona Lakes, receive non-clinical support in various areas. These include human resources, information technology, marketing, accounting, credentialing, facilities management, procurement, compliance, and revenue cycle management. By managing these administrative and business responsibilities, EKOS aims to free up dentists and their teams, allowing them to concentrate more fully on providing patient care. This patient-centered approach differs from the complexities of managing business responsibilities while simultaneously delivering dental care in an independent practice setting.
Modern Dentists of Deltona Lakes offers a comprehensive range of general dentistry services. These include routine exams, professional cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Beyond general care, the practice also provides periodontal care and other treatments designed to address oral health needs throughout adulthood. For patients interested in enhancing the appearance of their smiles, cosmetic services such as teeth whitening and veneers are available. Furthermore, the practice provides emergency dental care for urgent issues like severe toothaches, dental infections, or damaged and fractured teeth.
Joining EKOS Dental Group provides the team at Modern Dentists of Deltona Lakes with access to a broader support structure. This affiliation is designed to strengthen the resources available to the practice while ensuring its focus on personalized dental care remains unchanged. A larger support network can assist with staffing, technology integration, administrative processes, procurement, and compliance, all of which are intended to improve the day-to-day patient experience. This centralized operational support from EKOS Dental Group can also give clinical team members more dedicated time to their patients.
EKOS emphasizes maintaining the legacy and established relationships that practices like Modern Dentists of Deltona Lakes have built within their communities. Their acquisition model prioritizes continuity of care for patients and supports existing team members, recognizing their importance in maintaining patient relationships. This approach combines the familiar, community-focused aspects of a local dental practice with the enhanced resources and infrastructure available through a growing Florida dental group.
The milestone of reaching 20 practices reflects EKOS Dental Group's commitment to developing a Florida-based dental network that offers support while respecting the foundations independent dentists have established in their local communities. For practice owners considering selling their practice, EKOS offers options for both those looking to retire and those who wish to continue practicing dentistry after the sale. Their acquisition process includes practice valuation, transition planning, and post-acquisition operational resources. EKOS Dental Group also strives to retain existing staff during practice transitions, understanding their crucial role in patient continuity. With Modern Dentists of Deltona Lakes becoming its 20th practice, EKOS Dental Group continues its expansion while remaining rooted in Florida and focused on providing services that enable member practices to prioritize their patients.
