Saratoga joins existing lender Live Oak BankDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → in an expanded capital structure announced on June 24, 2026.
The fresh capital will fund Vitana's partnerships with more pediatric dentists and orthodontists across the South and Northeast US.
Why now? Vitana says the deal reflects confidence in its track record and growth, giving it firepower to accelerate.
"Adding Saratoga to our capital structure is an exciting next step," said co-chief executive officer Amir Fardshisheh. "Their middle market expertise and additional firepower give us the resources and the platform to accelerate our growth."
