First Capital Partners Invests in Digital Dental

First Capital Partners is pleased to announce a mezzanine and equity investment in Dental Milling Solutions, LLC, based in Scottsdale, AZ.  The transaction involved acquiring four different companies, each of which had been doing business together over the past several years but were not under common ownership.  The two largest companies are (1) Digital Dental Lab, based in Laguna Hills, CA, a manufacturer of market leading CAD/CAM milling machines used by dental labs to produce dental crowns and bridges from zirconia and other advanced materials, and (2) Dental Laboratory Milling Supplies, based in Scottsdale, AZ, which sells supplies used in the manufacturing of dental crowns and bridges. Also included in the transaction is a full service dental lab and a smaller ancillary equipment business. The new company will be known as Digital Dental and will be based in Scottsdale, AZ.

First Capital Partners was joined by Villhard Growth Partners of St. Louis and Spectrum Financial of Omaha to complete a control buyout of the companies using mezzanine debt and equity. The sellers retained a minority ownership stake in the business and will be continuing to lead the company going forward.
