Benevis

Benevis provides various non-clinical services to group dental practices, including providing dental facilities, support staff, and other business services. Kool Smiles and Resolution Dental are the firm’s two major clients. Kool Smiles is a nationally-branded provider of dental care focused primarily on children enrolled in Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Programs. The limited access to care for children on Medicaid/SCHIP plans provides an attractive growth opportunity for Kool Smiles as it continues to expand offices with a mission to provide quality care to this underserved population. Resolution Dental is a family focused practice serving communities with limited access to affordable dental care options. Families seeking affordable options for routine dental care provides an attractive market space for growth.

The company is headquartered in Atlanta, GA. FFL invested in Benevis in 2004 to provide growth capital and liquidity to founders. In 2006, FFL made a separate investment in a newly-formed Benevis franchisee, DPMS, Inc. Benevis merged with DPMS in 2010.
