The Practice Texas · Built in Nashville
The Practice began in Nashville as a real, hospitality-first dental practice. Now we are bringing the brand, operating foundation, and support to Texas so exceptional dentists can own and lead thriving local practices without starting from zero.
Started in Nashville. Built from real practice experience.
Founded in 2021 by Matthew and Brooke Kasiar, The Practice combines clinical excellence with a hospitality-first patient experience and a team-first approach. The Texas expansion carries that same foundation forward: help dentists lead confidently, build strong teams, deliver exceptional care, and create a business that supports the life they want.
Why Texas
We chose Texas because it brings together fast-growing communities, distinct major markets, strong dental talent, and a real need for more ways to become an owner without building alone or selling too early.
Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth were the two largest-gaining U.S. metro areas from 2024 to 2025. As Texas communities expand, patients need dentists who are invested in the places they serve.
Growth creates room for new practices—and new owners.DFW, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio each have different patient expectations, talent pools, development patterns, and opportunities. The foundation can be shared while each practice is built locally.
One model should adapt to the city, dentist, and community.Many dentists feel forced to choose between carrying every burden alone and joining a large platform. The Practice is designed to explore meaningful dentist ownership with a stronger foundation behind it.
Not isolated independence. Not ownership in name only.Texas is not simply our next territory. It is where we intend to prove that dentist ownership can scale without losing its meaning.

Choose the Path That Fits You
Some dentists are ready to own their first practice. Some already own and want to grow. Others know the exact dentist who deserves the opportunity.
Use The Practice to explore another location, develop a future owner-partner, or expand with stronger systems while protecting your reputation, culture, and clinical standards.
For highly qualified dentists who are ready for leadership and meaningful ownership but want support with the site, development, financing path, launch, team, operations, and growth.
Nominate an associate, colleague, or mentee who is clinically excellent, trusted by patients, respected by teams, and ready for more responsibility.
The Practice Model
The local dentist leads the practice. The Practice helps build and support the business around that leadership. The exact ownership and economic structure is defined for the specific path and documented before any commitment.
You lead clinical care, team culture, patient relationships, and the local practice. The model is designed around meaningful dentist leadership—not replacing it.
Your name, judgment, and reputation matter.Brand, patient experience, site and launch support, recruiting, training, marketing, operations, technology, vendor coordination, performance visibility, and growth guidance.
You do not have to invent every system yourself.Roles, economics, capital, decision rights, performance expectations, and ownership are made clear so everyone understands what they are building together.
Clarity before commitment. Alignment before growth.“I want real ownership. I also want an experienced team helping me choose the market, open the doors, and build the business correctly.”
“I know how to care for patients and lead a practice. I need a better way to add a location or develop another owner.”
Not a generic associate job. Not an acquisition-first pitch. A dentist-led path to build, own, and grow with a stronger foundation.
What the Foundation Includes
The Practice is intended to reduce the complexity that keeps good dentists from owning or growing successfully.
Market and site evaluation, development planning, launch sequencing, recruiting, training, vendor setup, and opening support.
Open with a plan instead of a blank page.Brand, marketing, patient experience, operating playbooks, team development, technology, reporting, and performance guidance.
Grow with visibility, standards, and support.A practice should create financial strength, leadership opportunity, family time, and freedom—not simply a larger workload.
Success should work inside and outside the operatory.Where We Are Starting in Texas

Texas Dentist FAQ
These conversations should be direct. Here is the clearest current explanation of the origin, the model, and the Texas opportunity.
The Practice was founded in Nashville in 2021 by Matthew and Brooke Kasiar. It grew from a real dental-practice experience built around clinical excellence, hospitality, team culture, and helping dentists create greater freedom.
Texas combines major population growth with several distinct dental markets and a large pool of dentists who may want a better ownership or expansion path. We are starting with DFW, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.
The dentist leads the local practice and clinical care. The Practice provides a shared brand and operating foundation that can include development, recruiting, training, marketing, patient experience, operations, technology, reporting, and growth support.
It is a potential path for a highly qualified dentist who is ready to lead but is not positioned to finance, develop, and launch a practice entirely alone. The specific capital, ownership, and timing structure would be defined individually.
Yes. An owner may explore another location, a Practice-branded expansion, or a path that helps a strong associate become a future owner while protecting the practice’s standards and reputation.
No. This is not being presented as an acquisition-first or sell-your-practice conversation. It is intended to create a dentist-led ownership and growth option with meaningful local leadership.
Clinical care and professional judgment remain with properly licensed dental professionals. Any business or support arrangement must preserve that boundary and comply with applicable law.
Not yet for every path. Roles, capital, economics, decision rights, and ownership must be documented in definitive agreements before anyone commits.
