We Help Dental and Speciality Practices Find the Right IDSO Partnership
Times have changed. No longer is a doctor able to build their practice for 30 years and plan their sale to their Associate successor. Invisible Dental Support Organizations (IDSOs) have entered your market and are buying 51% to 90% of a practice for cash up front at record values and low tax rates. Doctors continue to lead their practice under the doctor’s brand, team, and strategy with full autonomy for years or decades. The younger the doctor the better! (LPS completed over $102 million for doctors in their 30s in 2022).
An IDSO silent partner provides doctors with resources that are not available to independent dentists. Support includes significant recruiting and marketing support, signing bonuses, lower costs, and administrative burden reduction (which means more time with family).
With the right IDSO partner, a doctor’s retained ownership has the potential to create far greater value than remaining independent. According to the ADA, 13% of all US dentists are now affiliated with a DSO or IDSO. It is critical that every practice owner understand the risks and rewards of partnering with an IDSO, and the value of their practice in the accelerating consolidation of all practice types.
