Independent Dental Solutions (IDS) was founded in 2017 by two private practicing dentists and two health care supply chain leaders who sought to unify the independent dental market. Their mission was simple, to be a trusted advisor providing members with the supplies and business resources and support needed to not only survive, but to thrive. IDS is a dental collaborative that allows private practices to remain independent by leveraging the collective buying power of the group. By joining forces, practices can drive down the cost of supplies and capital equipment and gain access to other benefits typically reserved for larger, multi-practice and corporately owned groups. IDS is committed to supporting all the business needs of its members by facilitating collaboration among its dental practitioners as well as providing education on dentistry advancements and sharing best practices. This approach enables practitioners to learn innovative ways to stay ahead in the ever-evolving dental industry and how to build a sustainable, successful future. There is no cost to join and the savings continues to grow with each new member.
