SmileMD Unifies Brand Expands into North Carolina

COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- SmileMD, a provider of general anesthesia in dental offices, has unified under a single brand name and expanded its operations to North Carolina. The company, which was previously known as OFFOR Health, now operates under the name SmileMD, bringing accredited anesthesia care directly to children's dental offices.

Founded in 2014, SmileMD has grown to include a team of more than 170 people, with 99 clinicians dedicated to providing safe and effective treatment. The company is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and has served over 70,000 patients across multiple states, including Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and now North Carolina.

According to Gary Schafer, CEO of SmileMD, the name change is aimed at simplifying the company's identity for both its partner practices and the anesthesiologists it recruits.

Dr. Brian Schloss, Chief Medical Officer of SmileMD, emphasized the high standards of care the company maintains.

SmileMD's expansion into North Carolina marks a significant step in its mission to provide timely and safe dental care for children. The company continues to serve partner practices in Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania, while now offering its services in the Tar Heel State as well.

With a focus on ensuring that children receive the treatment they need without the long waits and travel required for hospital procedures, SmileMD remains committed to its mission of improving the dental care experience for young patients.
