## History[edit]

Altima Dental originated from a dental office in Toronto that was opened in 1993 by when first-generation dentists Dr. Sven Grail and Dr. George Christodoulou.[3] Since then, it has been privately owned and operated as a dentistry company, which has diversified its business by providing Altima Affiliate clinics to operate under multiple brand names in six different provinces in Canada.

Altima Dental gained popularity through word of mouth and quickly began to experience growth, and by the end of 2020, it is now the largest privately owned chain of dental clinics known for its customer-centric dental care. It has opened dental clinics in Toronto, North York, Cambridge, Scarborough, Mississauga, Hamilton, Kingston, Markham, Morrisburg, Port Hope, Thornhill, and Russell.

In January 2017, United States-based private equity firm Sentinel Capital Partners entered into a partnership with Altima Dental Centres. At this time, Altima Dental has over 30 locations in Canada.[4]

In March 2020, Altima Dental announced that it has increased the total clinics by 60% and has generated well over $160 million partnership value in 2019. It operates under 33 banners and has various sites in six provinces.[5]
