In addition to its predominantly fee-for-service platform, InterDent operates Capitol Dental Care (CDC), a capitated, value-based care model in Oregon.CDC partners with Coordinated Care Organizations to deliver dental services under the Oregon Health Plan, with a long-standing focus on preventive care and improving oral and overall health outcomes for children and underserved populations since 1994.

Through centralized infrastructure, disciplined operating models, and shared services, InterDent enables clinicians to remain focused on patient care while the organization drives scale, consistency, and operational excellence across a complex, multi-payer, multi-market platform.

Our mission is simple and meaningful: provide exceptional, lifelong, integrated oral healthcare — making it accessible to every patient we serve, because we believe oral health is foundational to overall wellbeing. We do that by building teams that are clinically excellent, operationally sharp, and deeply committed to the communities they work in.
