On December 1, 2025, 123Dentist, one of Canada's largest and fastest-growing dental support organizations (DSOs), completed its acquisition of MCA Dental Group Limited, an Ottawa-based DSO operating 27 clinics across Ontario and Québec. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition had been announced on October 15, 2025. The transaction expands 123Dentist's presence in Eastern Canada and advances its commitment to elevating dental care and helping Canadians achieve lifelong health through an enhanced patient experience. TD Securities acted as exclusive financial advisor to MCA Dental Group.
Founded by dentists, 123Dentist supports more than 5,000 clinicians across 450-plus clinics in Canada that serve over two million patients every year, operating support centres in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. The company has reported industry-leading revenue growth driven by both same-store performance and disciplined acquisitions, including 35 clinics added in the 12 months preceding the transaction. Following the completion of the transaction, the MCA Dental Group corporate brand will be retired and operations will transition to 123Dentist under a unified brand, with patients at MCA locations continuing to receive care from their existing dental teams, now supported by 123Dentist's systems, technology, and operational expertise. The acquisition comes amid ongoing consolidation in the Canadian dental sector, as DSOs look to expand their networks and streamline operations. 123Dentist is backed by Peloton Capital Management, while MCA Dental Group was backed by Persistence Capital Partners.
