Join a Private Practice
Joining a well-established private practice in a community you want to call home seems like a no-brainer when you're just getting started in your career. Mentorship from a successful practicing specialist, a close-knit team, and strong referral relationships are great advantages that deserve consideration.
But, have you considered that you can get all the benefits of joining a fantastic private practice - plus some additional advantages - when you join a DSO-affiliated group?
The American Dental Association predicts DSOs will more than triple their current market share by 2035.
Don't get left behind.
With DSO's rapidly increasing, it becomes harder and harder to maintain a competitive advantage as an independent practice. With so many voices in the community, our doctors are getting pricing and insurance benefits not found in private practice.
By joining a DSO-affiliated practice like one of those that makes up the Specialized Dental Partners community, you get all the benefits of private practice and then some, including:
- Local practice team, hand-selected by the doctors in charge;
- Dedicated, expert business support team;
- Health, dental and vision Insurance, 401k and more;
- Access to latest clinical technology;
- No formulary - choose your own supplies and the equipment that feels right in your hands;
- Professional and personal development;
- Mentorship through all stages of your career;
- Board certification preparation and support;
- Network of peers across the country to lean on;
- Pathway to Partnership
Plus, by joining a community where everyone is invested in each other's success, you'll more rapidly grow your career!
