Salt Dental Collective appoints new CEO, moves to Scottsdale

Posted

Salt Dental Collective announced that Dylan Bates has been appointed as the new CEO, as well as the relocated its Home Support Office from Bend, Ore. to Scottsdale.

Bates has been an active Salt board member since its inception in 2019. He has expertise in leadership roles in multi-site health care. Most notably, his leadership was instrumental in scaling ATI Physical Therapy from its original single location to over 800 locations at the time of his exit in 2018, according to a press release.

“I am thrilled to join the Salt team in the CEO seat to continue to build on the momentum within the organization,” Bates said in the release. “Salt's commitment to a doctor-centric culture has attracted 52 practice locations and 60 doctors to date. I see a significant opportunity to expand our geographic reach by partnering with blue chip practices across the country. I’m excited to tap into my experience in scaling with intention and creating a special culture to elevate Salt into the leading specialty DSO in the coming years.”

Bates has also served as an active board member for several other organizations, including Southern Vet Partners and Therapy Partners Group.

Jim Evanger, who has led Salt on a path of continued growth over the past 18 months is transitioning to the Board of Directors at Salt and will stay actively involved in Salt’s growth and expansion.

“Dylan was very helpful to me as I was beginning my Salt journey, so I know the organization will be in great hands and the future is very bright,” said Evanger.

“I am ecstatic to have another opportunity to work closely with Dylan,” said Steve Neumann, managing partner and founder of Latticework Capital Management, who has worked with Bates across multiple investments over the past 18 years. “We are extremely fortunate to have someone of his caliber lead Salt through its next phase of growth. Dylan’s experience in multi-site health care combined with his proven ability to build and lead world class teams will be instrumental for Salt’s continued momentum and success. His knowledge, insights and relationships make him the ideal person to execute the path forward and accelerate our growth both in our existing markets as well as our entry into new markets.”

Through this transition, Salt will continue to grow and maintain its commitment to creating successful partnerships with pediatric dentistry and orthodontics practices, as well as oral surgery.
