The Dallas Business Journal Announces DECA Dental One of the Fastest-Growing Middle Market Companies in North Texas

Dr. Sulman Ahmed, Founder and CEO

Dallas Business Journal announces DECA Dental as one of the top 50 fastest-growing middle market companies in North Texas.

Every year, the Dallas Business Journal ranks the fastest-growing companies in Dallas-Fort Worth with an annual revenue of $25 million to $750 million, based on revenue growth over a three-year period.

“We are honored to receive this award,” said Dr. Sulman Ahmed, Founder and CEO of DECA Dental. “It’s humbling to think we started off with only one location and now have expanded to over 70 offices, including Ideal Dental and other affiliated brands throughout Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin.”

Dr. Ahmed opened his first dental office in Corinth, Texas based on a patient-centric concept. This office was the first of its kind to offer luxury styling and amenities while maintaining its affordability. As soon as the doors opened, his new model of dentistry was proven to be a success. Within 12 months, DECA Dental expanded to a total of 4 locations. His methodology continued to gain momentum and, by 2014, DECA Dental had 27 offices and 50 full-time doctors.

By 2016, the DSO had expanded to over 60 offices, effectively doubling its footprint in just under a year. This exponential growth has translated into a 45 percent increase in revenue year over year. Today, the organization operates throughout Texas and is comprised of 70 offices and growing, over 500 staff members, 100 doctors and thousands of guests every month. But, no matter the size, the goal has always remained the same — help others, and guarantee everyone leaves with a smile.
