While the breach has not been officially confirmed, a threat actor known as Space Bears reportedly claims to have accessed Smilepoint’s patient database, financial reports, and EagleSoft practice management software. Sensitive information such as Social Security numbers and medical histories may have been exposed.

On May 12, 2026, Ransomware.Live, a dark web monitoring site, reported that Space Bears claims to have obtained unauthorized access to Smilepoint Dental Group’s systems. According to the report, the compromised data includes patient Social Security numbers, medical histories, financial reports, and other information contained in EagleSoft, a widely used dental practice management software.

At this time, Smilepoint Dental Group has not issued an official statement confirming the breach, nor has the company provided details about the scope, number of affected patients, or mitigation steps. However, patients are encouraged to remain vigilant and take precautions to protect their personal information.

What Information Was Breached?
