Beacon Oral Specialists, a portfolio company of Blue Sea Capital, entered into strategic agreements with five new practices as it expands in two key geographies.
Dr. Lee Walker of Los Gatos Oral & Facial Surgery in Los Gatos, Calif., is among nine surgeons with eight locations to join Beacon’s national network of oral surgery practices. In addition to the flagship practice in Los Gatos, Walker and his associate, Dr. Brian Lee, also treat patients at their Cupertino location.
The Los Gatos practice is one of four new strategic partnerships secured by Beacon in California in recent months:
Agoura Hills Oral Surgery — Dr. Greg Urfrig practices in Agoura Hills, just north of Los Angeles.
Chula Vista Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center — Dr. John Tillner has been seeing patients in Chula Vista, south of San Diego, since 2009.
Desert Maxillofacial Center — Dr. Milan Jugan sees patients throughout the Coachella Valley at his practice in Rancho Mirage which was first established in 1994.
In the mid-Atlantic, a new partnership with Loudon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery adds to Beacon’s presence in the region. Opened in 1994, the practice includes four surgeons treating patients in three locations in Loudon County, Va., just outside Washington, D.C.
As part of the Los Gatos agreement, Beacon will manage the American Society of Implant & Reconstructive Dentistry, an association aimed at educating consumers about implants as the best tooth replacement option and the importance of selecting a qualified oral surgeon and dentist team to perform the procedure.
With the announcement of these new agreements, Beacon is partnered with more than 80 Oral Surgeons, practicing in 70 locations throughout the United States. Read more.
