123Dentist, one of Canada’s largest and fastest-growing dental support organizations (DSOs), has announced on Wednesday a definitive agreement to acquire MCA Dental Group Limited, an Ottawa-based network of 27 clinics operating in Ontario and Québec.
“As we continue to grow, we are committed to elevating dental care for patients across Canada,” said Jeff Leger, Chief Executive Officer of 123Dentist. “MCA Dental Group’s clinics, teams and reputation strengthen our ability to make dentistry the gateway to better health.”
Leger, who described acquisitions as a “central pillar of our growth strategy,” explained that the new clinics are “strategically located in key markets and are recognized for their strong reputation and high-quality care.”
When asked what factors make certain clinics better suited to join a DSO, Leger said, “The clinics best suited to join a DSO are those that value collaboration, growth and being part of something bigger.”
“One of the greatest opportunities for DSOs in Canada lies in building communities where like-minded dental professionals feel a true sense of belonging and purpose,” he added.

Meanwhile, MCA Dental Group CEO Dr. Mahmood Khedmatgozar said joining 123Dentist will allow the group’s clinics to access expanded resources while maintaining patient trust.
“Patients will continue to receive the same excellent care, while also benefiting from new innovations that keep dentistry at the centre of lifelong health,” he said.
Leger echoed Khedmatgozar’s sentiment. He said 123Dentist’s approach to integration is focused on “minimal impact on existing patients and practices, maintaining the quality and culture clinics are known for.”
“Patients continue to receive the same high level of care, now enhanced by 123Dentist’s systems, resources and operational expertise,” he added.
Founded by dentists, 123Dentist supports more than 5,000 clinicians across 450-plus clinics in Canada, serving over two million patients annually. The company says it has achieved “industry-leading revenue growth” driven by same-store performance and 35 new acquisitions in the past 12 months.
The acquisition will see the MCA Dental Group brand retired, with its operations transitioning fully under the 123Dentist banner. Patients will continue to receive care from the same teams, supported by 123Dentist’s systems, technology and operational expertise.
