Straine Dental Management Expands Elite Network with Prestigious La Jolla Practice Acquisition

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Straine Dental Management (SDM) is elevating its California footprint with the strategic addition of the acclaimed Regents Dental Group to its network of premium dental practices. This latest acquisition strengthens SDM’s position as a leader in combining exceptional clinical care with cutting-edge dental technology.

The La Jolla-based practice, led by distinguished clinicians Drs. Stephen Eskeland and Stephen Lockwood, brings its stellar reputation for comprehensive dental solutions to the SDM family. Known for excellence in everything from family dentistry to advanced cosmetic and restorative procedures, Regents Dental Group seamlessly integrates with SDM’s vision of technology-driven patient care.

“Acquiring a practice of Regents’ caliber represents exactly the kind of strategic growth we’re pursuing,” said Jeff Staser, CFO at Straine Dental Management. “Their commitment to innovation and clinical excellence makes them a perfect addition to our network.”

Regents Dental Group will now leverage SDM’s robust technology ecosystem, which features game-changing platforms that are already transforming patient outcomes across the network:

• Overjet: This revolutionary AI-powered diagnostic tool has dramatically enhanced treatment planning precision throughout the SDM network. By providing detailed visual analysis of radiographs, Overjet empowers clinicians to identify conditions earlier and communicate findings more effectively, leading to improved case acceptance and better patient understanding.
• Perio Protect: Already demonstrating impressive results across SDM practices, this groundbreaking non-surgical periodontal therapy system allows patients to combat gum disease between visits. The custom-fitted trays deliver prescription medication directly to infection sites, reducing pocket depths and improving gum health with minimal invasiveness.
• Sunbit: Breaking down financial barriers to care, this innovative financing platform offers patients transparent payment options with high approval rates, making critical dental treatment accessible to more patients.

The integration of Regents Dental Group’s existing advanced technologies, including GLO Science and CEREC same-day restorations, complements SDM’s tech-forward approach to modern dentistry.

The La Jolla practice will maintain its comprehensive service offering while gaining access to SDM’s extensive business infrastructure, allowing the clinical team to focus entirely on delivering exceptional patient experiences.

This latest addition follows SDM’s successful Maryland expansion and underscores the company’s commitment to partnering with practices that demonstrate both extraordinary clinical skill and forward-thinking approaches to dental care.
