R. Kirk Huntsman does all that he can to make sure that he is fulfilling his niche as an entrepreneur in dental support organizations, but he also never loses sight of what's important to him outside of work: his family and community.
As an entrepreneur, much of R. Kirk Huntsman’s work in the dental industry has been based on helping smaller, independent dental practices find opportunities to negotiate pricing for supplies and resources. After leaving ReachOut, he created Nexus Dental Alliance in order to help the dental “cottage industry” and solo practitioners avail themselves to some of the tools and overall economic scale that is normally reserved for large companies. R. Kirk Huntsman helped these dentists negotiate the prices for crowns, bridges, and other dental supplies as well as other products and services. Because he was well-known throughout the dental industry he was able to set up resource lines to labs and supply houses, which he’d grown familiar with through Dental One.
Later R. Kirk Huntsman segued back into buying practices again, and he built his next dental management company in a multi-million dollar endeavor. At its peak the company owned eight offices. He sold these offices in 2015.
Currently, R. Kirk Huntsman is focused on a burgeoning area in the dental industry. Specifically, that area is centered around the connection between dental treatments and sleep-disordered breathing (i.e. obstructive sleep apnea or OSA).
