Deep dives

Consolidation of Oral Surgery Practices

The podcast episode discusses the ongoing trend of consolidation in oral surgery practices. The host, Shane McElroy, interviews Dr. Ben Johnson, one of the founders of Dental Influencers Alliance (DIA) and a practicing oral surgeon. They dive into the topic, highlighting how consolidation works in the dental industry. Dr. Johnson explains that when a group or dental service organization (DSO) acquires oral surgery practices, they primarily focus on non-clinical aspects while allowing the practice to maintain its success. They might make some adjustments, like changing practice management software or accounting practices, but the ultimate goal is to streamline operations without disrupting the practice's essence. Dr. Johnson also mentions that consolidation has been happening for decades and is likely to continue as more specialties, including oral surgery, get wrapped up in the trend. While there may be pressure on oral surgeons to sell their practices and join a larger group, it's crucial to find the right partner to maintain successful practice growth and preserve the value of the practice.
