About Patterson Dental
Patterson Dental is the dental distribution business of Patterson Companies, which was founded in 1877 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by John G. Patterson and M.F. Patterson and is headquartered in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. It had about 7,600 employees in April 2023. In December 2024 the company agreed to be acquired by the investment firm Patient Square for $4.1 billion.
In software, Patterson acquired Eaglesoft Inc in 1997, which is why Eaglesoft is sold and supported through Patterson Dental. Practices that buy supplies and equipment from Patterson often get a software quote in the same account relationship, so ask for a line-item software quote that can be compared with other systems.
