Operation Dental Makes the Inc. 5000 for the 4th Year in a Row
August 21, 2025

Operation Dental is proud to announce that we have once again been recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America — for the fourth year in a row. This honor reflects not only our sustained growth but also our team’s commitment to operational excellence, culture, and a shared passion for dentistry.

Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth year in a row is an incredible milestone for us,” said Dr. Peter Kelly, CEO and Co-Founder of Operation Dental. “This achievement speaks to the relentless dedication of our entire team, from our partner dentists to our support staff. Our growth is driven by our mission to put dentists first, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and freedom to focus on what they do best — caring for patients.”

The Inc. 5000 list, compiled annually by Inc. Magazine, celebrates the most successful independent businesses in the United States. Companies are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over a three-year period, making the recognition a powerful indicator of resilience and adaptability in an ever-changing market.

Every system we build and every decision we make is guided by a commitment to elevating our team and the communities we serve. This milestone reflects how putting people first continues to shape every aspect of who we are and what we achieve at Operation Dental.

Sustained growth doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of having a clear vision and executing with discipline,” said Matt Robinson, COO of Operation Dental. “Our continued presence on the Inc. 5000 list underscores the trust we’ve built with our team and the value we create together.”

This milestone would not be possible without the incredible people who make Operation Dental what it is today. We want to thank our dedicated team members, loyal patients, and trusted partners for believing in our mission, showing up with heart, and growing with us on this journey.

As Operation Dental looks ahead, our focus remains on strategic growth, expanding our network of practices, and continuing to lead with a dentist-first philosophy. This recognition energizes us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in dental practice management and partnership models.

We're honored to stand among the nation's top companies again, and we can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Here's to another year of growth, purpose, and people-first progress.
