On January 8, 2024, Canadian Dental Services Corporation ("CDS"), a leading participant in multi-dental office management across Canada, announced the acquisition of Davis Orthodontics, the premier orthodontic services network in Canada, with 13 branded clinics around the Greater Toronto Area.

Orthodontic specialty services are projected to continue to see significant increases in demand and growth over the coming decades as more people choose to invest in their oral health, specifically straighter teeth. This acquisition positions CDS to be able to bring these services to its patients in a more seamless and integrated way in the future.

Gowling WLG advised CDS with respect to this acquisition with a team led by Faran Umar-Khitab, and which included Olivia Lifman, Brianne Quesnel and Alexandra Misurka (corporate); Thomas Gertner, Kate Yurkovich and Katie Ross (financing); and Ash Gupta and Michael Bussmann (tax); assisted by students-at-law Derek Varrin and Chloe Davies.
