The current state of the economy is precarious. Regardless of what the economic futureholds, the last 15 years has proven dentistry to be recession proof, pandemic proof, andinflation proof. Over that same time period, practice transition options have undergone adramatic shift, with a significant number of practices currently in affiliated/ corporatesituations. However, the number of practice owners selling to DSOs compared to thenumber that should be selling to DSOs is nowhere close.

Key objectives include: Discuss the current trends in private practice ownership Provide an update on practice valuations, in both private (doctor-to-doctor) salesand DSO sales Review recent market data and what it says about the state of the dental industryand the future of practice transitions
