BlackRock Long Term Private Capital acquired a majority stake in Paradigm Oral Health from InTandem Capital Partners, valuing the oral surgery company north of $900 million, sources tell Axios.

Paradigm is one of few assets of scale positioned to consolidate the space as dental implant adoption accelerates.
