Dear Reader,
You’ve built a great practice. You’ve put in the years of hard work, and now, you’re enjoying the fruits of your labor. The income is good, your patients love you, and dentistry still brings you joy. So why on earth should you even consider joining a Dental Service Organization (DSO)?
Here’s the thing—joining a DSO doesn’t mean you don’t have a great practice. It doesn’t mean you’re giving up control or walking away from what you love. In fact, for many dentists like you, it’s the exact opposite. It’s about securing your future, enhancing your freedom, and getting more out of what you’ve built without sacrificing what makes your practice great.
Let’s break it down.
You Have a Great Practice—But What’s Next?
You’ve worked hard to get where you are. Your practice is thriving, and you’re making good money. But here’s the big question: What’s your long-term plan? Is the success you’re enjoying right now something you can sustain indefinitely? What happens if you want to step back, take more time for yourself, or even retire earlier than you thought?
For many dentists, the reality is that running a successful practice can become exhausting over time. Even if you love what you do, the day-to-day grind of managing the business side of things—staffing, marketing, payroll, compliance—can start to wear you down. Sure, the money’s good, but wouldn’t it be even better if you could keep earning that money while letting someone else handle the headaches?
Keep Your Passion, Lose the Stress
Joining a DSO doesn’t mean giving up your practice. In fact, many dentists who partner with DSOs continue to work chairside and do what they love—without the burdens of running the business. The DSO takes over the non-clinical responsibilities—staff management, billing, vendor negotiations, compliance—and allows you to focus entirely on what you’re passionate about: treating patients.
This isn’t about leaving the practice you’ve worked hard to build. It’s about protecting it, growing it, and giving you more freedom to enjoy the aspects of dentistry you love most. No more juggling the business and clinical sides. You can show up, do dentistry, and go home stress-free, knowing the DSO is handling everything else.
A Massive Payday—And You’re Still in Control
Let’s talk money. You’re making good money now, but partnering with a DSO could mean significant financial rewards that go beyond your current income. DSOs offer life-changing payouts based on the true profitability of your practice, not just what it’s worth today.
Here’s the secret: when you sell to a DSO, you’re often offered a multiple of your practice’s EBITDA—meaning you could get 4x, 5x, or even 8x what you’d earn in a traditional sale to another dentist. And the best part? You can still retain equity in the practice, which means you’ll continue to benefit financially as the practice grows.
This is a double payday: you get a huge payout upfront, and you continue to earn as your practice flourishes under the DSO’s management. You’re not walking away from the money—you’re multiplying it.
Long-Term Security and More Time for What Matters
Even if you love what you’re doing now, wouldn’t it be nice to have the option to slow down when you want to? Joining a DSO gives you the security to do that. Maybe you want to spend more time with family, travel, or just have the peace of mind knowing that your future is financially secure. With a DSO, you’re not tied to the day-to-day operations. You have the flexibility to step back, work less, or even retire earlier, all while still benefiting from the ongoing success of your practice.
And if you’re still passionate about dentistry? You can keep doing it—just without the distractions that come with running the business.
DSOs Help You Expand What You’ve Built
DSOs aren’t just about buying practices—they’re about growing them. They have the resources, technology, and expertise to help expand your practice, bring in more patients, and increase profitability. You’ve already built something great. A DSO partnership can help you take it to the next level.
And let’s be honest: running a practice isn’t getting easier. The regulatory landscape is constantly shifting, costs are rising, and competition is increasing. A DSO can help protect your practice from these challenges and ensure it continues to thrive, no matter what changes come your way.
So, Why Should You Consider a DSO?
Because it’s not about giving up what you’ve built—it’s about taking it to the next level. It’s about protecting your future, securing your financial freedom, and enjoying more time for what truly matters. You still get to do what you love but without the stress. You still get to make great money, but now with the potential for an even bigger payout.
