Dr. Sulman Ahmed, Founder & CEO of DECA Dental, shared his enthusiasm for this landmark initiative: "When we created Ideal Dental, our mission was clear: to set a new standard of excellent patient care by providing comprehensive dental services under one roof. We've proven our model's success, and now after 16 years of innovation, growth and strong practitioner partnerships, I am excited to invite entrepreneurial dental professionals to join us on this transformative journey."

Ultimately, we believe this initiative will enhance patient care and enrich communities nationwide."
