“Our partnership with Exectras allows us to move faster, to grow faster, to be the entrepreneur we were meant to be. We’re able to reset the standard of oral healthcare in our community…and focus on the quality of patient care and not have to worry so hard about building the business and dealing with the internal aspects that really slow a clinical team down. Now we can focus on what we do best, which is serving patients.”
Meet Dr. Dwight Peccora and Fort Bend Dental
Founded in 1987, Fort Bend Dental has grown into a prominent dental organization with five locations in Fort Bend County. Dr. Dwight Peccora, a managing partner since 2010, has witnessed significant transformations, particularly after partnering with Exectras.
The Challenge
Prior to this collaboration, Fort Bend Dental faced critical challenges in financial management, notably high merchant processing rates that squeezed profit margins.
Dr. Peccora remarked, “We struggled with abusive rates, which hindered our growth.”
The Exectras Solution: Payments & Employee Benefits
In 2013-2014, recognizing the need for change, Fort Bend Dental engaged Exectras for payment processing solutions. This relationship blossomed as Exectras also offered strategic consultancy to help the practice scale effectively. The new payments system significantly reduced processing fees, enhancing financial clarity and allowing for better resource allocation.
Furthermore, the adoption of Exectras’ employee benefits, such as the Virtual Primary Care (VPC) option, transformed employee health management.
“It’s been a game changer,” said Dr. Peccora, highlighting the impact on team morale.
The Exectras Impact
As a result of this partnership, Fort Bend Dental expanded from one to five locations, increasing annual revenue from $1.5 million to approximately $17 million over eight years, and growing their team from 16 to 75 members.
Dr. Peccora summed up their experience with Exectras like this:
“The fulfillment factor that Exectras has created for my team…that’s what has helped us grow to the size that we’ve grown.”
He went on to note that savings in processing fees and enhanced employee satisfaction amount to “tens of thousands of dollars per month.”
The Future is Bright

With plans for further expansion, Fort Bend Dental will continue being an Exectras member and redefine the standard of oral healthcare in the community.
