Archway Dental Partners launches in New England

Dental Associates of Connecticut now supported by Archway as its initial platform

Press Release
January 19, 2024

DENTAL ASSOCIATES OF CONNECTICUT (DACT) is excited to announce the launch of a new multi-specialty dental platform, Archway Dental Partners, designed to support likeminded partnership-focused practices across the Northeast. 

The new platform is built upon the strong foundation of DACT’s group partnership model, collaborative culture and high-quality clinical focus. DACT’s footprint of 23 practices across the state serves as a springboard for Archway’s expansion in the Northeast. Its 70 doctors across general dentistry, pediatrics, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics and endodontics are integral to the mission of Archway.

Adam Richichi, CEO at Archway Dental Partners, says of the newly-launched platform: “The creation of Archway is a reaffirmation of our founding group’s doctor-partner-centric value system. We are an organization of dentists for dentists so we’ve developed a management support platform to reflect that. We exist to push the boundaries of both the quality of care we provide, and also the integral career and practice support for our providers. We believe that partnership is the key to the future of our industry.

“Since 1971, this group has been dedicated to producing an environment that patients want to come to and providers want to practice in. In truth, everything that is outstanding about DACT remains the same, in the best sense of the word. The approach to people and culture remains at the heart of the business. The quality of care continues at those same high standards DACT has excelled at for the past five decades. 

“Archway is our path to bringing more of this culture-driven perspective across the Northeast, by partnering with accomplished clinicians and high quality practices. The Archway brand itself stands to demonstrate the unique, modern and innovative approach this partnership group stands for when it comes to dentistry and its accompanying business needs.”

Mr. Richichi will continue in his role as CEO at DACT, leading the Archway Dental Partners platform alongside key personnel from the group’s management and clinical team.

Built on the foundational practice’s partnership approach and provider support, the Archway platform is primed to power growth and positively impact essential areas for teams and doctors alike, including operations, recruitment and growth.

In support of Archway’s launch and future growth plans, Martis Capital and Din Ventures have led a recapitalization of the business and provided growth capital. 

Dr. Robert Aledort, General Dentist and senior doctor partner at Dental Associates of Connecticut, says of the business update: “Having practiced here for over 25 years, I can tell you we have always focused on serving the needs of our patients and gaining the trust of our local communities. Our teamwork and mentoring has helped us to become one of the largest dental group partnerships in the region. 

“We’re excited to now be aligned with our new capital partners – Martis Capital and Din Ventures – who share our passion for delivering high-quality clinical care to our patients and will help us grow our doctor partnership model within the support system of Archway Dental Partners.”

Of Archway Dental Partners’ unique and considered approach, Chris Beall, Partner at healthcare-focused Martis Capital, comments: “After a yearlong effort building a thesis around the multi-specialty dental market opportunity, we could not be more excited to partner with the dentist owners of DACT as the foundation of Archway Dental Partners. We’re grateful to become a part of DACT’s long history and are confident Archway will continue to support the highest quality dentists delivering care across the Northeast region.”

Rashed Din, partner at Din Ventures, says of Archway Dental Partners: “The doctor partners at Dental Associates of Connecticut have a strong culture of mentorship and collaboration. They focus on developing each other clinically and professionally and have successfully grown its group partnership mindset in a very impressive manner.”


“Equally outstanding is the group’s multi-specialty practice model that is particularly unique and valuable to both doctors and patients in the New England region. We’re looking forward to expanding on that to spread the reach of high quality dental care for every kind of patient.”


CEO Adam Richichi says of the financial backing: “Having built DACT alongside its doctor partners for the better part of a decade, it was essential for me to find capital partners that were acutely aligned with our mission and vision. We found exactly that in both Martis Capital and Din Ventures. Together as Archway, we will leverage and continue to bolster the robust support capabilities to expand both in new geographies and within our existing footprint. With an inspiring provider community at its core, Archway and its partners are uniquely positioned to become New England's leading dental partnership platform. We seek to be the organization that exceptional practices and providers want to partner with.”
