Dear Dr. Henry:

We have been asked to contact you on behalf of Great Expressions Dental Centers (Great Expressions -

www.greatexpressions.com). a leading U.S. dental practice management company, which is actively

seeking to expand its market position through the acquisition of dental practices in specific strategiccities in Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Our client believes that your dental

practice may be an excellent fit with their current growth strategy and has asked that we share some of

the potential benefits they can offer in affiliating under Great Expressions.

"One of the largest privately-owned dental practice management companies in the United States, Great

Expressions provides a full range of general and specialty services, including endodontic, orthodontics,

oral surgery, pedodontics and periodontics. The company, which was founded over 35 years ago, has

181 affiliated practices in Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, Ohio, Virginia and Connecticut. As

part of the Great Expressions family of companies, your dental practice would have access to a large

support network. You would continue to experience clinical freedom and be able to participate in and

contribute to clinical best practices, while getting the critical business support you need.

I can assure you that this is a serious inquiry and ask that you consider Great Expressions' high level of

interest as you review some of the potential benefits they can offer your dental practice:

* A competitive market-price transaction with significant cash payment up front.

* Freedom from risk associated with conventional dental practices: Great Expressions' Practice Support

Center would handle the business side of the practice, freeing up doctors to commit their full attention

to treating patients.



* Dedicated and readily available financial resources to support growth initiatives: Great Expressions is

financially supported by Audax Group (www.audaxgroup.com), the Company's controlling shareholder

with over $4.5 billion in capital. Audax also has established banking relationships that have committed

capital to fund Great Expressions' growth and acquisitions initiatives. Further, the firm's professionals

are experienced in consummating acquisitions and working appropriately with management post-close

in support of management's growth plans.

*Professional Process: Great Expressions has a demonstrated record of closing transactions. Their

operational knowledge enable them to complete due diligence expeditiously, efficiently and with

minimal disruption to the acquired dental practice. Under the right circumstances, Great Expressions

can complete a transaction in 30-45- days, from start to finish. In the event of an acquisition, you could

expect complete confidentially right up until the deal closes. Great Expressions' goal would be to make

the entire process move smoothly and with minimal stress.

*Smooth Transition: Great Expressions would strive to create a seamless transition for your staff and

patients. Their approach is to look for the very best dentists with a strong reputation in their community

and build upon that reputation. As such, you could expect Great Expressions to retain existing staff and

recognize their seniority.

Great Expressions believes that there may be a good fit between your dental practice and itself and

looks forward to discussing ways in which an affiliation could be mutually beneficial. For additional

background information or to schedule a time to speak with our client, please contact me at (949) 717-

4880 Ext 424 or [email protected]. Great Expressions would be happy to provide a list of

dental practices that they have acquired as references to assist you in your evaluation of this

opportunity. Rest assured, we understand the sensitive nature of this inquiry and will exercise complete

confidentiality in all discussions.

Respectfully,

Christine Lewis
