Rock Dental Brands, a leading dental service organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas, announced its affiliation with Baptiste Orthodontics and Baptiste Dentistry for Kids in Orlando, Florida. With this expansion of Rock Dental Brands’ footprint in Florida, the organization now manages 105 dental offices in five states.  

Baptiste Orthodontics, founded by Dr. Andre Baptiste in 2010, is an established, trusted provider of orthodontic care in the region, with two orthodontists on staff and clinics in Orlando (2) and Apopka, Florida. Dr. Baptiste founded Baptiste Dentistry for Kids in 2021 at the Apopka clinic in order to offer comprehensive dental care tailored to the unique needs of children at one location. The clinic has one pediatric dentist on staff. 

“Rock Dental Brands is an impressive organization, and we look forward to working with them to take the orthodontic and pediatric dentistry practices to the next level,”  Dr. Baptiste said. “Our teams will continue to do what we do best, and that’s helping individuals to achieve their best healthy, beautiful smiles.”

Rock Dental Brands entered the Florida market in late 2022, with the affiliation of four Coastline Orthodontics clinics in the Jacksonville area. The organization also manages practices for a host of dental brands in Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Alabama. 

CEO Kristi Crum said expansion of Rock Dental brands is planned to continue. “Our organization is committed to growth in new markets, while building on our hard-earned reputation for providing the highest-possible quality of care to our providers and teams,” Crum said. “Baptiste Orthodontics and Baptiste Dentistry for Kids have demonstrated abilities to deliver exceptional dental care, and we could not be happier to welcome them to the Rock Dental Brands family.”
