Pacific Dental Services (PDS) is one of the nation’s leading Dental Support Organizations (DSO) and one of the largest in the world, founded in 1994 and led by industry trailblazer Steve Thorne, the son and grandson of lifelong practicing dentists.

The result is top-notch care that leads to healthier, happier patients (The PDS Purpose).
