Dentistry today has turned into a losing game for small business owners. While insurance companies and corporate DSOs thrive, private practices are feeling pinched and undervalued. This market dynamic is fueled by a surplus of private capital, corporate infrastructure, synergies in consolidation, and reimbursement pressure. In today’s environment, solo practitioners struggle to keep up and compete with their corporate counterparts. Combine this with the pressure of increasing student debt and the pipe dream career path to private practice ownership seems long gone. Fortunately, we are here to provide another option.
