The Why

The DSO Takeover Is Accelerating — And Independent Practices Are Feeling the Pressure

Dental Service Organizations now control 25–30% of the market, with projections reaching 50–60% by 2026. As consolidation accelerates, independent practices face challenges that threaten profitability, autonomy, and long‑term stability.

Why Independent Practices Are at a Disadvantage

• Higher Costs — Private practices pay 20–60% more for supplies and services than DSOs.

• Exclusive Pricing & Rebates — Manufacturers offer DSOs special programs unavailable to independents.

• Marketing Inequality — Large groups outspend small practices, dominating local markets.

• Unpredictable Lab Fees — Constant price fluctuations and rep negotiations drain time and profit.

• Talent Competition — DSOs attract top clinicians and staff with bigger budgets and benefits.

• Early Access to Technology — Cutting‑edge tools reach DSOs first, leaving independents behind.

Independent practices are being pushed into a corner — unless they unite.
