The Past, Present & Future of DSOs

Start 2025 with this interactive webinar that will help you gain a thorough understanding of the trend that has changed the face of dentistry over the last 20 years.  

​​​​​​​Nearly 40% of dental practices are now owned by DSOs, and the consolidation wave is entering its final phase.  Whether you are looking to buy your own practice, add a location, stay independent, or sell to one of them; you will benefit tremendously from the information shared during this hour.

Our host and the guest panelists have been directly involved in more than 1,000 practice transitions over the past decade, and they are uniquely positioned to help you understand the rapidly changing dynamics of the DSO world.  Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and get answers.

​​​​​​​The 7 featured questions include:

  • ​​​​​​​How are practices currently valued?  What are the factors that go into a valuation?  What can you do to make your practice more valuable?  Less valuable? ​​​​​​​

  • ​​​​​​​Do DSOs always offer the highest valuation?  What are other, viable transition strategies?  When should each be considered?  What are the pros and cons of each?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • ​​​​​​​What do the next 10 years of the consolidation wave look like?  What will change during this period?  What will the dental practice landscape look like in 2035?

  • ​​​​​​​Are there ways to lessen the burden of managing the "business side" of a dental practice while still retaining 100% ownership of the practice?  Who are the players offering these services?  Do the economics make sense?

  • ​​​​​​​Which are the "best run" DSOs? What are the top considerations (e.g., growth, culture, etc.) doctors should keep in mind when exploring a potential partnership with a DSO? How should doctors evaluate partnership opportunities when they receive offers from the DSOs?

  • ​​​​​​​What should a dentist consider if he/she is interested in starting their own DSO in 2025?  What will allow them to maximize their chances for success?  What will make their DSO as valuable as possible? 

  • ​​​​​​​Is the consolidation wave in dentistry impacted by demographic or geographic factors?  Are certain markets doing better than others?  Does an urban focus work better than a small market footprint?  Are there models of success for each?
