Work hours are set. If you need to leave early or come in late due to a personal appointment, you are required to take a minimum of 2 hours of PTO PTO is accrued extremely slow. If you do not have enough PTO, they still require you to take it and make you go into the negative. If you leave the company before paying back the deficit, you are required to pay it all back to them.  Taking time off, even for necessary medical appointments is highly discouraged.  Additionally, they recently decided that they will no longer utilize temp hygienists when a hygienist needs to take personal leave. This puts the hygienist in a tough position and they are now forced to choose between missing important events with family due to the guilt of taking off or inconveniencing the clinic and patients.  

As with most Corporate dental companies, they are very production driven. That being said, they fail to acknowledge that there are additional tasks that need to be done in order to function efficiently. There is no time set aside for equipment maintenance, instrument sharpening, chart reviews, etc. Coming in early for a shift is discouraged and you are forced to quickly clock out after finishing patients. Without proper time for these things, it’s difficult to perform to the highest capacity and leads to hygiene burnout or msds.  Hygienists are discouraged from voicing concerns about this due to set policies and fear of losing production dollars. 

Schedules are highly micromanaged and patients are often misscheduled, not allowing proper time for adequate care.   Hygienists are frequently running behind due to this and greatly increases stress on the provider.  

Hindsight, if I would have been properly informed of these policies, I would not have taken this position. I was told upon hiring that taking time off was no issue and I would be given ample time for all required duties and patient care. 





I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with SGA Dental Partners. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this is a practice that truly values families and prioritizes compassionate, quality care. Every team member — from the front desk to the hygienists to the dentists — is welcoming, patient, and supportive, making even the most anxious visits feel comfortable.

What sets this company apart is its strong leadership. You can tell that the values of integrity, kindness, and excellence start at the top and are lived out by every person on the team. They're incredibly supportive, not just in their dental care, but in the way they treat each patient like part of their extended family. They’re also fantastic with children, taking the time to explain things and making sure the entire family is at ease.

My workday is very interesting. I am working on a project that is new to the company and is going to help the company and the patients. Doing this job makes me feel great about myself and my company. My boss teaches me so much, even after 30 years in the dental field I am still learning!! She believes in me and makes our team a family. She takes a rough workday and turns it around, sometimes by coming down the hall singing just to break it up and make us laugh, and sometimes by buying lunch and having us all eating together in the conference room as a family. This company understands that happy environment means happy employees and happy employees means a better job!! 

This company has allowed me to put my family first while advancing my career as a working mom. They recognized my talents and helped developed them. I've never had anyone invest in my professional growth the way they have. They even offer several leadership courses to help guide you as a more effective leader. I've consistently had phenomenal management each time I've advanced or changed positions. I can't say enough good things about SGA Dental Partners. This is not your typical corporate company- feels more like family. 

Dentistry has changed in my many years . Yes, patient care is the ultimate goal, but it is still a business. I have learned so much with all the systems in place about running a dental practice. Better ways to take care of patients, produce, collect, track all kinds of reports, team build…
Yes, it’s a lot of work, but rewarding at the end of the day. I work with a really good team and we help each other when things get tough. 

A typical day at work is overwhelming soon as you hit the door. Never  enough employees for the amount of patients being seen on a daily basis. Overworked and underpaid, being ostracized by management and doctor, being bullied, being talked down to by management and being retaliated against if you speak up about anything unfair, management and doctor show favoritism, management untrustworthy lots of gossip, management encourages drama amongst co-workers and very toxic environment, unrealistic work demands

SGA is a great company to work for! They have amazing values and the first one on the list is family. They are very understanding of family needs and will never tell you no when it comes to family.

 SGA is growing, so I love the fact that you have the opportunity to grow with the company.

The most enjoyable part of my job is the people I work with! Management is very supportive!

I enjoyed working with the offices. Patient care is a priority. I feel I was not set up for success being placed in a practice with a toxic doctor and self centered assistants that were not happy being owned by SGA, even though the doctor chose to sell his practice. I think the intention is good with the upper management but they don’t have a lot of experience in the field so they don’t understand what it takes to get the team on track.

They put their people and family first.  Listen to individual feedback and suggestions. The company has grown, but after almost a year with them, myself, my team and my doctor are happy to have them helping to run our dental office and support us from behind the scenes. Highly recommend. 

i hated my life working here. awful everything. i would never go back to this company and would rather work somewhere else. evil and corrupt, your typical dso organization (money hungry and greedy). i’ve also been to 4 locations working being mindful. only liked one just because it was only 3 people there and fairly new.
