Advantage Dental was founded in 1994 by a group of dentists from Roseburg, Oregon, concerned with the lack of access to dental care in rural Oregon. The model they created addressed this concern as-well-as the need for affordable and effective dental insurance to groups of all sizes throughout Oregon. Advantage Dental currently has almost 200,000 recipients with OHP coverage. Advantage Dental’s clinics and contracted dentists are located strategically throughout Oregon to serve the un- and under insured population. It is geographically the largest and numerically the second largest Dental Care Organization in the State of Oregon. Currently, Advantage Dental has over 322 owners; 24 Advantage Dental Clinics; more than 50 employees located at the Advantage Dental Headquarters in Central Oregon and over 350 statewide. Advantage Dental also serves as the exclusive dental network for PacificSource Health Plans.
