After more than twenty-five years in dentistry, you may find yourself reflecting on what lies ahead. You still take pride in your work, but you also recognize the passage of time. Perhaps your children have moved out, and you and your spouse are thinking about the travel you’ve postponed. You’ve built a successful career, accumulated a solid retirement fund, and now it’s time to address what may be your most valuable asset — your dental practice.

Deciding how to transition out of practice is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll make. Should you sell to an individual buyer or explore the growing world of corporate dentistry? Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) have been around for years, but their presence has expanded dramatically — now owning more than 10% of practices nationwide.

This objective, unbiased, and informative presentation will explore the evolving role of DSOs, detailing the options they present and the potential financial outcomes for you and your practice. With a clear understanding of the various models and considerations involved, you’ll be equipped to make a sound and informed decision about your future.

1. Determine the many facets of a DSO contract.
2. Understand how to compare the selling of your practice privately versus to a DSO.
3. Understand what equity in the DSO really means.
4. Understand how the “work-back” as an employee in the DSO affects your bottom line.
5. Understand the pitfalls of selling your practice to a DSO.
