PDS Continues to Grow and Seeks Scalable Financing Strategy

Pacific Dental Services (PDS) is one of the country’s leading Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), supporting more than 1,000 dental practices nationwide and continuing to expand each year. To support this ongoing growth, the organization requires access to additional capital and a financing strategy that diversifies its funding sources while scaling alongside the business.

“As CFO of Pacific Dental, one of my biggest challenges is to provide enough capital to enable our growth.”

– Taylor Hawes, CFO, PDS

“It's great to have a relationship with someone that understands our business, our markets, our offices, and the industry, that can walk alongside us as we continue to grow. I'm so thankful that First American is there with us on our journey.”

-– Taylor Hawes, CFO, PDS

A Custom-Fit Financing Strategy with Asset Management Capabilities

After taking time to understand PDS's growth strategy, First American developed a payment structure that aligned with its office expansion plans. The team customized a leasing solution for DeNovo equipment packages and facility upgrades, including technology hardware and CBCTs. These investments help PDS achieve its annual growth goals while maintaining an organized and practical capital structure.

 

Managing the implementation, documentation, and deployment of thousands of assets across hundreds of locations can be complex, but PDS relies on First American to help make the process simple and streamlined. Specifically, the organization values having a dedicated Project Manager whom it considers an extension of its team, along with an online account that enables it to track thousands of assets nationally.
