PDS Health Reports 2025 Progress in Integrated Care and Expanded Access
That progress was driven by a growing number of clinicians choosing to partner with PDS Health through its Owner Clinician model. Together, they delivered care rooted in the Mouth-Body Connection®, the proven link between oral health and overall health. This momentum contributed to the organization exceeding
"The progress we saw in 2025 reflects a broader shift in how health care is evolving," said Stephen E. Thorne IV, Founder and CEO of PDS Health. "Integrated care is becoming the standard patients expect. Our focus is on supporting clinicians as they lead this shift and on advancing a care model that helps people live healthier, happier and longer lives."
Expanding Access to Integrated Care
In 2025, PDS Health continued expanding access to integrated dental-medical care nationwide. The organization opened 77 new practices across multiple states, including additional primary care practices connected to dental locations supported by PDS Health Medical™.
That expansion supported more than 7.5 million patient visits nationwide, reflecting growing demand for coordinated, whole-person care in communities across the United States.
PDS Health also welcomed 83 new practice owners in 2025 and continued expanding its specialty ownership model across multiple states. These partnerships reflect sustained interest from clinicians seeking to practice within an integrated care environment supported by shared systems, coordinated teams and proven technologies.
Academic Partnerships and Workforce Development
Through PDS Health Technologies™, the organization expanded academic partnerships with the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, and Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine. These collaborations support training, research and hands-on experience with integrated dental-medical health record systems, helping prepare future clinicians to deliver care that recognizes the connection between oral health and whole-person health.
Advancing Early Detection and Clinical Care
PDS Health continued investing in integrated technology and proven diagnostics that support earlier detection and connected care. Across its network, shared dental and medical health records enabled the secure exchange of hundreds of millions of patient records, supporting more complete health histories and improved care coordination.
Clinicians also expanded use of chairside screenings such as aMMP-8 and HbA1c, helping identify periodontal disease and systemic health risks earlier and reinforcing the role oral health providers play in recognizing broader health concerns. Early findings from collaborative screening initiatives also showed increased patient engagement and greater acceptance of recommended care.
PDS Health clinicians completed more than 570,000 same-day CAD/CAM restorations in 2025, marking the highest annual volume in the organization's history and reflecting continued adoption of advanced technologies that support precise, efficient care.
PDS Health also announced a strategic investment in SOTA Cloud, a secure, cloud-based imaging and diagnostics platform that will be implemented across practices beginning in 2026 to support consistency, accessibility, and collaboration within integrated care teams.
