Simply Dental Management 'Completes the Circle' of Dentistry, Cementing Its Role as a Leading, Patient-First DSO
HOPKINTON, MA, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Simply Dental Management (SDM), a doctor-led Dental Support Organization (DSO), announces its continued growth across New England and beyond—bringing comprehensive support to general and specialty dental practices while maintaining a deeply personal, patient-first approach.
Founded by Dr. Sam Alkhoury, SDM helps providers offload administrative burdens—HR, marketing, compliance, and operations—while keeping full clinical autonomy. 'We build practices that feel local but benefit from the strength of a knowledgeable support team,' said Dr. Alkhoury. 'Every decision is rooted in what's best for patients and providers. We're growing, but staying grounded.'
SDM partners across all specialties—from Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry to Endodontics, Periodontics and Oral Surgery —creating a full-circle model of oral health support. Privately owned and led by a single, engaged founder, SDM remains agile and connected, offering individualized support to every practice in its network.
'As an Endodontist and partner, I now enjoy my profession on a level I never imagined,' said Dr. Karyn Stern of Worcester Endodontics. 'SDM gives me the freedom to focus entirely on patient care and personal growth without the stress of running a business.'
Recognized by Inc. 5000 and Becker's '55 DSOs to Know,' SDM continues to scale without sacrificing quality. 'After 31 years in practice, I wanted to keep caring for patients without handling the business side,' added Dr. Dennis Sherman, now-retired orthodontist from Milton Orthodontics. 'SDM made that possible—and helped the practice grow.'
Beyond dentistry, SDM supports the community through initiatives like its Toys for Tots campaign (with 3,000+ toys donated), school supply drives, oral health education in preschools, and local youth sports and arts sponsorships.
'Our goal is to be seen—not just as a business, but as a team truly doing dentistry differently,' said Dr. Alkhoury.
SDM welcomes conversations with dental professionals, DSOs, and investors looking to grow with a purpose-driven, people-focused partner.

Lumen Powers JUNO Trans-Pacific Cable U.S. Landing with High-Capacity Backhaul Network
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With undersea cables accounting for more than 99% of international data traffic, a robust terrestrial network is vital for ensuring seamless, high-capacity data flows across continents. Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) announced it will provide the terrestrial backhaul connectivity for the JUNO Trans-Pacific Cable System, the highest-capacity trans-Pacific cable linking Japan and the United States. Lumen's fiber network will carry traffic from the cable's U.S. landing point in Grover Beach, Ca., to two major points of presence (PoPs) in San Jose and Los Angeles— helping to revolutionize business operations and technological advancements in both countries. An undersea cable can carry massive amounts of data across oceans, but it's the strong terrestrial network that completes the journey. Share 'An undersea cable can carry massive amounts of data across oceans, but it's the strong terrestrial network that completes the journey,' said Ashley Haynes-Gaspar, Lumen EVP and Chief Revenue Officer. 'Lumen designed and developed a dark fiber solution the JUNO system could quickly deploy to meet their launch date. Our critical fiber backbone enables the seamless high-capacity transport from Asia into the heart of the U.S. digital economy. This level of control, scale, and performance is exactly what global enterprises and cloud providers need to support the next generation of AI and data-driven innovation.' The JUNO cable, operated by Seren Juno Network Co., Ltd., is 10,000 kilometers long and engineered to deliver up to 350 Tbps across 20 fiber pairs, using next-generation Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) technology. Lumen's dark fiber backhaul gives JUNO custom, private network configurations. Connecting JUNO at the cable landing station to two critical PoPs, helps data reach major cloud hubs, data centers and enterprise networks across the U.S. 'Our partnership with Lumen is a critical milestone in delivering on JUNO's promise to revolutionize trans-Pacific data transport,' said Yoshio Sato, CEO of Seren Juno Network Co., Ltd. 'Lumen's reach into major U.S. cloud hubs and its proven expertise in high-capacity fiber infrastructure make it an ideal partner as we bring the world closer through digital innovation.' Businesses in both Japan and the US stand to benefit significantly from the increased bandwidth and reliable connections. Together, JUNO's cable system and Lumen's terrestrial network will create a powerful bridge between Asia and North America—supporting next-gen applications, enabling global scale for AI, and helping enterprises navigate the digital economy with agility and speed.

Grand Forks International Airport's firefighters vote to unionize
May 19—GRAND FORKS — Grand Forks International Airport's firefighters voted to unionize, according to the interim president of the union local, not because of any current issues, but because of the expected benefits. "It's just, really, the additional benefits," said Tim Burrows, ARFF operations specialist. "It has nothing to do with the politics." At a Thursday, May 15, Airport Authority Board meeting, it was announced that the firefighters had voted to unionize. Among the benefits that led them to make this decision, according to Burrows, were additional training opportunities, additional health benefits, access to an international peer group, the ability to support research regarding firefighter safety — such as cancer and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — as well as the ability to participate in charitable events like the Fill the Boot campaign and Toys for Tots. "We look forward to having a great relationship with all constituents that we work for and work with," Burrows said. Ryan Riesinger, executive director of the airport, said he learned about the announcement earlier in the week, but before then, he was unaware there were plans to unionize. Burrows said the group submitted its paperwork a couple weeks ago and is still getting everything in order, so more information is likely to come within the next month. He said the process officially started back in March, before there were any discussions about possible changes in oversight or any other politics ongoing with the Airport Authority. Riesinger said late last week he had not yet received any official paperwork or documentation, either from the local union or the International Association of Firefighters, but did meet with a designated representative and had a good discussion about what the firefighters were looking for — which he said mainly revolved around training. "We meet all of the (Federal Aviation Administration) requirements as it relates to our fire responsibilities, but I believe some on staff, and some in the union, are wanting to look at where we can exceed some of those minimum requirements," Riesinger said. "We already do in some cases, but I think they're looking for additional training, or additional areas where they can really go beyond the minimum requirements. We're open to those discussions." He said he was told directly that the decision to unionize was not related to concerns about pay, benefits or scheduling. "They're happy with all of those things, so I was pleased to hear that," Riesinger said.
