MB2 Dental

The Firm

MB2 Dental is a Carrollton, Texas dental partnership organization founded in 2007 by Dr. Chris Villanueva and backed since 2021 by the private equity firm Charlesbank Capital Partners. It has grown to more than eight hundred affiliated general and specialty practices across forty-five states, and unlike a full-buyout DSO it describes itself as dentist-owned: partner doctors take equity and keep ownership rather than selling outright.

Its model is the partial exit stated on its own pages: MB2 and its doctor-owners usually partner with practices above roughly $1.25 million in revenue with four or more operatories, buying into the business side while the selling dentist stays an owner and operator. It publishes each new partnership as a dated post, a running ledger of who has joined and where.

For a dental searcher, MB2 is both a competing bidder and a template for the offer a practice owner already holds. A seller weighing a full sale is also weighing MB2's partnership, which lets them cash out part of the practice and keep the rest, so a buyer's bid competes with that structure even when MB2 is not in the room. Its 2026 partnerships, from New York to Oklahoma to Florida, show the established, mid-revenue practices it targets.

What It Buys

Carrollton, TX. A dentist-owned dental partnership organization of 800-plus practices that takes an equity stake while the selling dentist keeps ownership, a partial-exit path competing for every practice a searcher wants.
