Screen the market before you screen the deal.
Dental remains one of the last genuinely fragmented healthcare markets — roughly 1 in 6 dentists is DSO-affiliated. Sightline shows you, territory by territory, where the runway actually is and who’s already consolidating it.
Where the runway is, and who’s on it
Weight templates tune the 0–100 score to your strategy — a “PE Acquisition Focus” preset ships out of the box. Payer-mix-sensitive? Weight income. Underserved-market thesis? Weight competition and saturation. Same data, your lens.
Sightline tracks 130 DSO brands across 107 platforms with name-variation matching and parent-company lineage — plus the sponsor behind each, where known: Heartland (KKR), Aspen (Ares Management & Leonard Green), Western Dental (New Mountain, via Sonrava), Ideal Dental (Blackstone), Great Expressions (Roark). 53 institutional backers are mapped in total, so you can see not just which chains are consolidating a market, but which sponsors are behind them — including the ones you’ll be bidding against. When a target’s ZIP code already hosts three chain locations, the score says so, and so does the map.
Post-LOI diligence commonly runs 30–60 days and $8,000–$20,000 in fees — per deal. The cheapest diligence is on deals you never should have chased: practices with phantom rosters, saturated patient sheds, or a provider on the federal exclusion list. Sightline surfaces those before the first call.
Multi-territory workspaces, exportable PDF market reports, a seven-stage pipeline your operating partners can read at a glance.
