EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 Ontario Overall Award winner

Graham Rosenberg | dentalcorp

ey-eoy-ontorio-regional-winner-2023

Visionary leader. Accessibility cultivator. Graham Rosenberg’s entrepreneurial drive is levelling up dental care standards and accessibility across North America — and making history, too.

Spotting an opportunity to leverage leading technology, expertise and scale, Graham successfully upended traditional industry models when he founded dentalcorp in 2011. With the unique business model of acquiring dental practices and enabling professionals with the opportunity to retain their autonomy while delivering best-in-class dental care and experiences, Graham’s concept unleashed remarkable growth.

The result? Now, dentalcorp is Canada’s largest and fastest-growing network of dental practices. From start-up to stand-out, Graham took dentalcorp public in 2021. It was the largest healthcare IPO in Canadian history, raising over $950 million to support future growth

What’s more: dentalcorp is purposefully fostering accessibility and inclusive oral care along the way with multi-year philanthropic commitments in support of pediatric dentistry at children's hospitals. Through the Give Back, Smile Back program, dental professionals across Canada donate their time and expertise to provide essential dental care for underserved individuals.
