Your DSO questions, answered

The Dental Support Organization (DSO) model is the fastest growing segment of the dental industry, and with good reason. For many dentists, the everyday management of a small business can monopolize precious time. Joining a DSO can take the burden off these additional stressors, freeing up providers to do what they love most.
Dental Support Organizations provide a wide range of benefits to their clinicians which vary based on organization size, structure, and mission. 

Generally, a DSO will provide administrative and operational support to their clinicians. This means that things like marketing, staffing, patient billing, and insurance negotiations will be partly or fully managed by the DSO. 

At Aspen Dental, we provide best in class organizational, administrative, and structural support while also empowering you by connecting you to the Aspen Dental network of Dentists. If you need training or mentorship, our culture of fellowship is there to support you. Our goal is to simplify your process, allowing you to focus on dentistry, not on the minutia of running a small business. 

It's a simple promise: here at Aspen Dental, we do anything it takes to support your journey to provide the best possible dental care to your patients. 
One of the first and largest misconceptions about DSOs, including Aspen Dental, is that we oversee our dentists on what they can and cannot do clinically.

This is false. A DSO cannot make or influence clinical decisions made by Dentists or Specialists. 

Aspen Dental offices are owned and run by dentists; any mentoring or direction that is given is by fellow clinicians who have the same credentials and background as them. The DSO model which we hold exists to provide business support which in turn alleviates our clinicians from the administrative duties that many private practice dentists do not have the luxury of leaving behind.

Under the Aspen Dental model, Owners, Managing Clinical Directors, Associate Dentists, can all focus on what they do best; practicing dentistry.
A common misconception about DSOs is that they are purely profit driven and are willing to cut corners to chase the bottom line. While we can't speak for every DSO in the world, at Aspen Dental our focus is not profit. We are driven by our mission to provide the highest quality dental care throughout America. Here, patient care always comes first. ​​​​​​​
A common complaint about some DSOs is that they "overperscribe" treatments for new patients. There are reviews online from some patients felt they had recieved more dental work than was necessary after a visit to a practice that was supported by a DSO. 

At Aspen Dental, we encourage a policy of full transparency with our patients. We provide a comprehensive treatment plan with a focus on providing the best possible patient care based on the severity of the care needed. Although a comprehensive treatment plan may be overwhleming to a patient intially, many plans are lengthy because so many Aspen Dental patients have not seen a dentist in several years.

We stand behind this policy of full transparency and strive to help your patients make informed decisions to fulfill their dental care needs. 
Aspen Dental along with companies like Heartland Dental, Pacific Dental Services, and others are large DSOs with a national presence. Our difference, among many, is that Aspen Dental focuses on providing dental care to underserved communities. With over 25 years of proven success we feel we stand apart from the competition.
