Dentistry, a cottage industry long after changes in medical care delivery systems, is in the throes of consolidation. In the midst of this change is Oregon’s largest provider of Medicaid dental services by clients enrolled. Advantage Dental Services cares for 325,000 Oregon citizens—primarily children and adults in the rural Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid). In business since 1995, Advantage employs 300 general practitioners and specialists in more than 250 individual practices and 41 Advantage-owned clinics across 34 counties.
