DSO Spotlight
123Dentist, one of Canada’s fastest growing dental support organizations (DSO), announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MCA Dental Group Limited, an Ottawa-based DSO with 27 locations across Ontario and Québec.
The acquisition expands 123Dentist’s commitment to elevating dental care and helping Canadians achieve lifelong health through an enhanced patient experience.
Jeff Leger joined 123Dentists as CEO this past July with the intent to scale help scale 123Dentist into the largest and most respected dental community and organization in the country. Working closely with Dr. Amin Shivji, Jeff believes that one of the biggest opportunities for DSOs in Canada lies in building communities where like-minded dental professionals feel a true sense of belonging and purpose.
“As we continue to grow, we are committed to elevating dental care for patients across Canada. MCA Dental Group’s clinics, teams and reputation strengthen our ability to make dentistry the gateway to better health.”

MCA Dental Group’s clinics, teams and reputation strengthen our ability to make dentistry the gateway to better health.” In 2023, MCA Dental Group announced a successful capital raise in partnership with Persistence Capital Partners to accelerate its DSO acquisition strategy and expand its network of dental practices across Canada—an achievement that helped drive the growth and success leading to its acquisition today.
“Joining 123Dentist means our patients will continue to receive the same excellent care, while also benefiting from new resources and innovations that keep dentistry at the centre of lifelong health,” said Dr. Mahmood Gozar, Chief Executive Officer of MCA Dental Group.

Its industry-leading revenue growth is fueled by strong same-store performance and strategic acquisitions, including 35 clinics in the past year.
In parallel with the company’s growth, 123Dentist has invested significantly to pursue best-in-class capabilities across patient acquisition, clinical service, operational excellence and partner support. With a consistent record of sustainable growth, the company is positioning itself as a leader in patient-centred care and financial performance within Canadian dentistry.
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. Patients will continue to receive the same high level of care — with the added support of 123Dentist’s systems, resources and operational expertise.
