Debunking the Myths of the Modern DSO
Dental Support Organizations continue to penetrate the fragmented dental market at an increasing rate. It is estimated today that 24% of dentists today are part of a large group or DSO. There is still a cloud of mystery around what that means economically, clinically, and operationally for the remaining solo dentist and small groups. In this course Aligned Dental Partners will educate the solo and small group dentists on the current landscape of the group practice and DSO market, the options that exists for solo dentists and small groups, and provide clarity on myths that surround DSOs. Many dentists hear rumors in the industry like “quality and standard of care suffer in the DSO model”. Negative connotations about “clinical autonomy” continue to permeate the market from the largest “corporate” DSOs today. Aligned Dental Partners will discuss these common myths and will debunk or qualify these rumors based on their experience.
