CHARLOTTE, N.C., October 21st, 2026 — TUSK Practice Sales (“TUSK”), the premier healthcare-focused M&A advisor, advised Boulton Orthodontics in its partnership with MB2 Dental. The transaction was led by Kevin Sauer, Director of Mergers & Acquisitions, with Alex Cherniavsky and Tyler Gross leading the diligence and analytics efforts for TUSK.
Led by Dr. Bart Boulton, Boulton Orthodontics has cared for patients in Cypress and the surrounding Orange County communities for more than two decades. With a focus on precise treatment planning and long-lasting relationships with the families it treats, the practice has become a trusted orthodontic cornerstone for Cypress, Los Alamitos, and Buena Park. Dr. Boulton and his team remain dedicated to creating confident, healthy smiles for patients of all ages in a friendly, family-centered environment.
“After my first attempt at selling left me with just one offer and very little clarity, I was hesitant to go through the process again,” shared Dr. Bart Boulton. “Working with TUSK completely changed my experience. The team took the time to understand my goals, kept me informed and involved throughout the process, and ultimately brought me five competitive offers to consider. Having multiple options gave me the confidence to weigh my choices and select the partner that was the best fit for me and my practice. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome or the value TUSK brought to the process. I’m grateful for their guidance and support, and I’m excited for this next chapter with MB2 Dental.”
“Dr. Boulton has built a strong practice with deep roots in the Cypress community, and we’re excited to welcome him and his team to MB2,” said Jake Berry, Chief Development Officer at MB2 Dental. “His focus on personalized care aligns with what we value in our partners. We look forward to supporting the team with the resources they need to continue growing while delivering the same great care their patients know and trust.”
