Meet our Leadership Team
Our leaders encourage and reward fresh thinking that delivers for supported doctors and their teams.
Our Founding Story
When Dr. Rick Workman realized there had to be a better way for dentists to practice, he assembled a team, “We began as a small group of like-minded doctors who wanted to build quality practices in the communities we love.” Now, Heartland Dental supports a network of over 2,800 doctors in 1,700+ locations country-wide. “I always viewed our mission at Heartland Dental as a way to help every supported doctor become as good as they could possibly be, to better serve patients," shared Dr. Workman.
