ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 15, 2000
(the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), among the Issuer, Gentle Dental Service
Corporation, a Washington corporation ("GDSC"), Gentle Dental Management, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("GDMI"), and Dental Care Alliance, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("DCA" and, together with GDSC and GDMI, the "Note Issuers"),
certain other direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Issuer and the
Partnership, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 2 hereto, the Note Issuers
jointly and severally issued and sold to the Partnership a Senior Subordinated
Note Due 2005 dated June 15, 2000, in the principal amount of $25,500,000 (the
"Note"). In addition, as part of the same transaction, the Issuer issued and
sold to the Partnership 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock (the "June 2000 LLCP
Shares") and a warrant to purchase 2,125,000 shares of Common Stock (the
"Warrant" and, together with the Note and the June 2000 LLCP Shares, the
"Securities"). The Securities were acquired by the Partnership for an aggregate
purchase price of $36,500,000. Copies of the Note and the Warrant are attached
as EXHIBITS 3 and 4 hereto.

         The source of funds used to purchase the Securities was capital
contributions made by the partners of the Partnership in the aggregate amount of
$36,500,000, in response to capital calls made by the Partnership.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The Partnership acquired the Securities pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement for investment purposes only.

         In connection with the acquisition by the Partnership of the
Securities, and pursuant to the terms of an Investor Rights Agreement dated as
of June 15, 2000 (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), among the Issuer, the
Principal Shareholders and the Partnership, a copy of which is attached as
EXHIBIT 5 hereto, the Issuer and the Principal Shareholders granted certain
management, investment monitoring and other rights to the Partnership,
respectively. Among other rights, the Partnership may require the Issuer, upon
the request of the Partnership, to cause a representative designated by the
Partnership (an "LLCP Representative") to be elected or appointed as a member of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In addition, the Principal Shareholders
have granted to the Partnership limited voting rights with respect to the shares
of Common Stock owned by the Principal Shareholders, respectively. If the
Partnership exercises its right to require the Issuer to cause an LLCP
Representative to be elected or appointed as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Issuer, each Principal Shareholder has agreed to vote (or cause to be
voted) the shares of Common Stock owned by it or him in favor of such election
or appointment of the LLCP Representative to the Board of Directors of the
Issuer. In addition, the Issuer has granted to the Partnership observer rights
at all meetings of the Board of Directors of the Issuer at any time or from time
to time that no LLCP Representative is serving as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer.

                                      8
<PAGE>
         Under the Investor Rights Agreement, each of the Partnership and the
Principal Shareholders has granted to the others certain co-sale rights with
respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by it or him, and the Issuer has
granted to the Partnership and the Principal Shareholders preemptive rights with
respect to future issuances of equity securities of the Issuer, all as more
fully described in the Investor Rights Agreement.

         While the Partnership did not acquire the Securities with the purpose
of changing or influencing control of the Issuer, such acquisition, after giving
effect to the management, investment monitoring and other rights granted to the
Partnership under the Investor Rights Agreement, may have the effect of changing
or influencing control of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)
of the Exchange Act.

         Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons presently
has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions
described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a)     AMOUNT BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY EACH REPORTING PERSON AND PERCENT OF CLASS:

          Each Reporting Person is deemed to be the beneficial owner (within the
          meaning of Rule 13d-3(a) of the Exchange Act) of 4,875,000 shares of
          Common Stock consisting of the 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock
          purchased by the Partnership and the 2,125,000 shares of Common Stock
          issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. Such aggregate Number of shares
          of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons
          constituted, as of June 15, 2000, approximately 18.7% of the
          outstanding shares of such class (calculated in accordance with Rule
          13d-3d(1)(i) of the Exchange Act and assuming that 26,041,834 shares
          of Common Stock (which number includes the 4,875,000 shares of Common
          Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons) were issued and
          outstanding as of such date).

          In addition, as of June 15, 2000, the Reporting Persons may be deemed
          to be the beneficial owners, for purposes of the election or
          appointment of the LLCP Representative as described in Item 4 above
          and Item 6 below, of an additional 7,847,802 shares of Common Stock
          and 1,085,767 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by the
          Principal Shareholders by virtue of the terms of the Investor Rights
          Agreement, including (i) 793,610 shares of Common Stock owned by
          Sprout Capital VII, L.P., (ii) 648,797 shares of Common Stock owned by
          Sprout Growth II, C.P., (iii) 9,218 shares of Common Stock owned by
          The Sprout CEO Fund, L.P., (iv) 32,991 shares of Common Stock owned by
          DLJ Capital Corp., (v) 164,956 shares of Common Stock owned by DLJ
          First Esc L.L.C., (vi) 2,553,677 shares of Common Stock owned by SRM
          '93 Children's Trust, (vii) 356,772 shares of Common Stock owned by
          Michael T. Fiore, (viii) 2,500,237 shares of Common Stock owned by
          Steven R. Matzkin, D.D.S., (ix) 787,544 shares of Common Stock owned
          by Curtis Lee Smith, Jr. and (x) 1,085,767 shares of Series D
          Preferred Stock owned by CB Capital Investors, LLC. (The numbers of
          outstanding shares of Common Stock referred to above were based upon a
          stock registry furnished to the Partnership on behalf of the Issuer as
          of such date. The number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred
          stock was furnished by the Issuer under the Securities Purchase
          Agreement.) Such aggregate number of shares, together with the shares
          of Common Stock otherwise beneficially owned by the Partnership, may
          be sufficient to elect the LLCP Representative to the Board of
          Directors of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons have no pecuniary
          interest in the shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock
          owned by the Principal Shareholders.

                                      9

          The Warrant may be exercised at any time prior to June
          15, 2010, with respect to all or any portion of the total number of
          shares of Common Stock purchasable thereunder. The exercise price
          of the shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant is
          initially $6.84 per share. If, on June 15, 2002, the average of the
          last reported sales price of the Common Stock during the ten-day
          period ending on June 15, 2002, as reported on Nasdaq, is less than
          the Warrant Purchase Price (as defined in the Warrant) in effect at
          such time, the Warrant Purchase Price in effect at such time shall
          be reset to the greater of (a) such ten-day average and (b) $4.45
          (which amount shall be adjusted from time to time as more fully
          described in the Warrant). In addition, if the Issuers fail to fulfill
          certain obligations set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement on
          or prior to June 30, 2001, the Warrant Purchase Price shall be reset
          to $6.19, which amount shall be adjusted from time to time as more
          fully described in the Warrant. The Warrant Purchase Price is also
          subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments from time to time.
