TUSK Practice Sales advises Lady’s Island Dental in its sale to SGA Dental Partners
CHARLOTTE, N.C., October 18th, 2024 — TUSK Practice Sales (“TUSK”), the premier healthcare-focused M&A Advisor, advised Lady’s Island Dental in their sale to SGA Dental Partners, a portfolio company of Thurston Group. The transaction was led by Yazen Abusad, Associate of Mergers & Acquisitions at TUSK Practice Sales. Alex Cherniavsky and Sam Lupton spearheaded the diligence and analytics efforts for TUSK.
Founded in 2001 by Dr. Tristan Greenwalt in Beaufort, South Carolina, Lady’s Island Dental has been a cornerstone of the local community, providing a wide range of dental care services, from preventive treatments to emergency dental care. The practice has built a strong reputation for delivering personalized care to the Beaufort community and surrounding areas.
“After dedicating over 23 years to the practice, the time felt right to explore exit planning,” said Dr. Tristan Greenwalt, Founder of Lady’s Island Dental. “TUSK guided us through every step of the process, from the initial valuation to closing day. Their team was always available for late-night calls and early mornings to ensure we were aligned. TUSK negotiated to secure us the highest valuation with the right partner for the future of the practice.”
Richard Thompson, Director of M&A at SGA Dental Partners, shared his enthusiasm for the new partnership: “We are thrilled to welcome Lady’s Island Dental and Dr. Greenwalt into the SGA family. Dr. Greenwalt has built a thriving practice that reflects many of our core values, and we look forward to supporting its continued growth.”
