In 1978, an entrepreneurial group of dentists realized that they could focus more on the practice of dentistry if they had someone manage the business for them. Under the name of “Gentle Dental,” this group grew into a multi-site practice in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, and eventually became Gentle Dental Services Inc. The company merged in 1998 with a similar dental practice services organization with offices in California and Hawaii, to form Wisdom Holdings Inc. On February 8, 1999, the name was changed to InterDent Inc. and the company expanded into several additional states.
