Interested in forming a Dental Support Organization (DSO)?
Not sure what the difference is?
DPOs function as collaborative partners. They provide administrative support in areas like billing, human resources, and marketing but leave clinical decision-making firmly in the dentist’s hands.
DSOs on the other hand, are often larger entities that employ dentists and act more like a corporate dental practice. They handle most aspects of the business, including staffing, marketing, and potentially influencing treatment plans.
Advantages of DPO Participation
Reduced Administrative Burden
DPOs handle those laborious and time-consuming tasks such as payroll, billing, collections, and compliance, freeing up valuable time for dentists to focus on patient care.
Growth Opportunities
DPOs provide access to marketing resources and expertise, helping dentists attract new patients and expand their practice.
Efficiencies
Operational and Fiscal: DPOs offer streamlined workflows and access to technology, allowing for a more efficient practice environment.
Negotiating Power
DPOs leverage their buying power to secure better deals on supplies and equipment, benefiting the dentist and the practice.
