Mia Healthcare operates mobile clinics in schools, workplaces and underserved communities. They bring professional dental care closer to patients who might otherwise go without treatment.
At the same time, the company is positioning itself as a local challenger in the orthodontics market by offering high-quality, locally produced clear aligners at more accessible price points.
CEO Dr. Zane Stennings described the funding as a significant milestone for the company.
“This funding not only reflects confidence in Mia and enables our next phase of growth but also underscores that the dental market is one worth watching, with significant potential for innovation, scale, and impact,” he said.
“For Mia, this investment is a strong validation of the mission we are pursuing… bringing high-quality, accessible dental products and care models to market.”
Sally Kitley, Associate Principal at Edge Growth, highlighted the company’s potential:
“Mia Healthcare is an exciting business with a relevant and novel service offering. They have an impressive management team with deep industry knowledge and an innovative approach to dentistry supported by a stable and robust market.”
