As part of the transaction, dntl bar will consolidate its operations into its flagship location in Chelsea while retaining its founder, Ben Elchami, and the four current dentists.
“The elite caliber of our dentists, hygienists, and technology will provide an optimal patient experience through this transition,” said Dr. Steven Albert who led the negotiations for Freedom Dental Partners. “Dntl Bar is the home of thousands of patients, and we look forward to delivering exceptional care to each and every one.”
