Thank You

“Before your first patient, before your first procedure, there was a single moment when you chose this path, when you decided to give your time, your energy, your skill, and your care to others. That choice mattered more than you could have known at the time, and we thank you for making it.

So much of what our patients experience begins with you, often before they ever realize it. We're grateful for that first choice, and for everything that has grown from it.”

This is exactly why I’ll always choose to remain the sole owner of my practice.
It’s harder. It’s heavier. But it is so worth it.

Patient care stays at the center of every decision we make. No call centers. No revolving door of staff. No pressure to sell treatment to satisfy shareholders.

Same dentist. Same team. Same mission: honest, friendly care for the people who trust us.

Owning and operating a dental office isn’t easy but hearing stories of patient mistreatment in profit-driven systems is even harder. This small-town girl believes dentistry should still feel personal. 🦷🤍

Who really owns your dentist? A site called WhoOwnsMyDentists.com tracks over 5,000 U.S. dental offices that are affiliated with corporate dental groups known as DSOs. The map shows how fast dentistry is shifting from solo, dentist-owned practices to investor-backed platforms, mostly funded by private equity.

The idea is simple: dentists sell part or all of their practice, get a payout, and let the DSO handle billing, marketing, HR, and systems so they can focus on patient care. Legally, the dentist still controls the clinical side, but the business is run by a corporate management company. On paper, that means independence. In reality, the people who control the money often shape how the office runs.

Some DSOs preserve a practice’s culture. Others turn offices into chains. Deals can include long contracts and performance targets that affect both income and autonomy.

The site isn’t anti-DSO. It’s about transparency. Dentistry is quietly becoming a corporate healthcare market, and now you can actually see it on a map.
