Pacific Dental Services, Inc.

PDS Health, formerly known as Pacific Dental Services, is a privately held comprehensive healthcare support organization headquartered in Henderson, Nevada. Founded in 1994 by Stephen E. Thorne IV, the company's core mission is to redefine healthcare by integrating dental and medical services, emphasizing the critical link between oral health and overall systemic health, known as the "Mouth-Body Connection®." PDS Health provides business and administrative support to dental and medical practices, enabling clinicians to focus on patient care while improving health outcomes and reducing costs.

PDS Health offers a broad spectrum of services through its three main business units: PDS Health Dental, PDS Health Medical, and PDS Health Technologies. These units support dentist-owned practices with operational infrastructure, expertise, and systems, including in-house specialty care like endodontics, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry. The company is a pioneer in integrating advanced technologies, notably being the first dental support organization of its scale to fully implement the Epic® electronic health record system across its supported practices, facilitating connected care and early disease detection.

In April 2024, the company officially rebranded to PDS Health, reflecting its expanded focus beyond dental services into integrated healthcare. PDS Health supports nearly 1,000 practices across 24 states, serving over 7 million patient visits annually with more than 14,800 team members. Recent initiatives include the launch of PDS Health Medical in October 2025, a new business unit dedicated to connecting medical care with dental practices through co-located offices and shared systems, further advancing its vision for whole-person care. Stephen E. Thorne IV continues to lead the organization as Founder and CEO.
