We're in the Business of Group Dental Practice Growth. The practice of dentistry has become a much more challenging proposition than ever in the past, even as recently as just last year. The entire industry is in the throes of a rapid evolutionary phase, with the emergence of more competitive market entrants, more expensive technologies, more costly operational demands imposed by regulation or necessity, and a scarcity of clinical and administrative talent. This evolution in dentistry and the current COVID-19 pandemic are forcing an acceleration in the consolidation of dental providers. Larger firms are looking to capture market share and build enterprise value through the acquisition of existing practices, the de novo construction of new locations, and the addition of specialty dental services to provide comprehensive service offerings to their patients. Dentists in virtually every market and at any stage in their career should be asking themselves how to best position themselves to realize their professional aspirations, and at some point their transition into retirement, as they continue to practice in this rapidly evolving market.
