Our Corporate Offices based in Orange, CA provide support to affiliated offices throughout various departments including: Operations, Human Resources, Marketing, Procurement, IT, Facilities, Revenue Cycle Management, Accounting, Quality Management, and more. We’ve been making quality care more affordable since our founder, Dr. Curtis Beauchamp, opened his first office in 1903. A true visionary, he opened up dentistry to the people and championed the idea that everyone should have good oral health. He did it by delivering excellent care at affordable prices and letting his patients pay over time. Back then, they called it "Credit Dentistry.” These days, it's how almost all of us afford the braces, root canals and implants we need. By the 1930’s Dr. Beauchamp and his son, Dr. Robert F. Beauchamp, were treating thousands of patients at multiple locations. Fast forward to today, and we serve over 1 million people a year in five states. As a true Dental Home, we treat patients of all ages through our general and multi-specialty platform.
