Who We Are
What Makes Covalent Dental Partners Different?
We’re Not Owned by a DSO or Distributor
Covalent Dental Partners is drastically different from other dental "clubs" or GPOs. We are not owned or controlled by a DSO, dental distributor, consultant, CPA firm, or education platform that uses a GPO to boost their own business.
We’re Independent and Agnostic
Because we’re agnostic, we can work with anyone — choosing only those vendors who share our mission. That gives us the freedom to act in the best interest of the private practice dentist, not a parent company or profit agenda.
Other groups say they support private practice dentistry.
We’re actually doing it.
Our Mission Sets Us Apart
Our mission is simple: to support, protect, and preserve private practice dentistry — not just for now, but for decades to come. While many believe DSOs will take over, we believe private practice can thrive if dentists unite.
This Is a Movement — Not a Marketing Strategy
What brings Covalent members together is a shared mission.
What keeps them engaged is the education, community, collaboration, and discounts that make each member a better business owner, clinician, and colleague.
Free to Join. Free to Stay.
There are no membership fees — ever. We want every dentist to feel welcome, whether they’re fully committed or still learning what Covalent is about. Once inside, we believe you’ll stay because you see the value.
We Vet Our Members and Our Vendors
Only licensed, practicing dentists are allowed into the member portal, and all vendors must align with our mission. This ensures a trusted, professional, and focused environment.
A Call to Unite Private Practice Dentistry
Now more than ever, private dentists need to rally around one group with one voice. Fifteen fragmented GPOs will never have the influence that one unified network can achieve.
Encourage every private practice colleague you know to join. Even if they’re part of another GPO — invite them to join Covalent because of our mission. Together, we can reach 30,000 members, negotiate deeper discounts, access better education, and strengthen the future of independent dentistry.
Our Mission Makes the Difference
We’re not just negotiating discounts — we’re building a movement. At Covalent, our mission is to support, protect, and preserve private practice dentistry for the long term. In a changing dental landscape, this shared purpose brings our members — and vendor partners — together.
