A Dental Support Organization (DSO) is a management company that contracts with numerous individual dental practices, or minor dental groups, to provide the “behind the scenes” business management and non-clinical operations required to run dental practices. The DSO model has allowed Dentists who partner with DSOs the freedom to focus on their patients and deliver extraordinary care without the stress of managing the business and non-clinical side of the office.
In addition to facilitating better care, DSOs have afforded many Dentists, including those with Sage Dental, the chance to embrace cutting-edge dental technology and new treatment options that are revolutionizing dentistry and making oral care safe, smarter, and better. DSOs let Dentists do what they do best, and that’s better for everyone.
