The growth of DSOS and their partnership with vendors enhances the quality of care and support for clinicians in the dental industry.
The dental industry, including DSOS and private practices, must address staffing shortages by providing specialized departments and roles to attract and retain talented individuals.
Deep dives
Excitement about Growth in Dentistry
The future of dentistry is exciting, particularly in the DSOS (dental service organizations) arena, as there is a focus on curriculum and growth for clinicians. More support is being provided for clinicians, who are the heart of dental practices. The growth of DSOS and their partnership with vendors helps to enhance the quality of care and support for clinicians, elevating the industry as a whole.
Concern about the Talent Pool
One area of concern in dentistry is the lack of applicants and staff members. The industry is struggling with staffing shortages, and it is challenging to find talented individuals. This concern extends beyond DSOS to private practices as well. Overcoming this challenge will require empathy from leadership teams, specialized departments within practices to alleviate stress and specialization within roles, such as insurance submission. This would help attract and retain talent in the industry.
Excitement about Future Education and Support
The future of dentistry is promising in terms of education and support for clinicians. DSOS and other organizations are focusing on curriculum development and providing ongoing education for clinicians. They are also investing in creating systems and processes that better support clinicians and enhance patient care. This emphasis on education and support helps ensure long-term success and enables clinicians to provide high-quality care.
Challenges with Consolidation and Integration
Consolidation within the dental industry poses challenges, particularly in terms of integration processes after mergers and acquisitions. Integrating different companies, cultures, and processes requires thoughtful communication, relationship-building, and process improvement. It can be likened to building a plane while it's taking off. However, successful integration is crucial for creating a cohesive and efficient dental organization.
