Dear Reader,
Let’s have a heart-to-heart about your future. You’ve likely spent decades building a practice. You’ve put in the long hours, managed every curveball that came your way, and served countless patients. But now, the idea of retirement is creeping up—maybe sooner than you think. The question is: Will your practice be a bridge to the retirement you’ve dreamed of or a missed opportunity? Enter the role of Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) in your exit strategy.
Here’s the truth: planning your exit isn’t just about selling a practice for a lump sum and riding off into the sunset. It’s about long-term financial security, preserving your legacy, and maximizing what you’ve spent a lifetime building. Done right, a DSO transition can be the key to a prosperous, worry-free retirement. Done wrong, it can leave you feeling shortchanged. Let’s dig into how to make sure you get it right.
