As many entrepreneurs know or soon discover, there are many, many aspects to running a successful business. There’s admin, accounting, marketing, staff recruitment and IT to name a few. For small business owners, these aspects can end up overwhelming managers and slowly chip away at the company’s ability to achieve its vision. As was the case for Chris Steven Villanueva. “All I’d ever wanted was to be a dentist, but here I was with my own set-up, and a crazy amount of my time was taken up with just running the office,” he recalls. 

This realization, and a desire to level the playing field in the industry, led him to found MB2 Dental, America’s first Dental Partnership Organization, which has today become a billion-dollar company. Not only was Villanueva still able to realize his dream of running his own business; he has transformed the industry in ensuring his 350-plus partners do not have the same operational issues he faced when starting out. 

And at the end of the day, the Founder and CEO is proud to still be helping “the most important people in the equation: the patients”. Learn more about why MB2 Dental is one of the country’s fastest-growing dental collectives in our cover story.
