Strategic Imperative: Targeting Dental Support Organizations
Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) are the growth engine of the modern dental sector. By providing key opportunities for suppliers and OEMs of healthcare and non-healthcare technology and solutions, they offer several distinct competitive advantages such as:
| Network Aggregation | Market Scalability | Accelerated Procurement | High-Value Partnerships |
|---|---|---|---|
| DSOs oversee a vast portfolio of practices, offering a singular point of entry to influence a broad spectrum of decision-makers | DSOs have consolidation trajectory and acquire new practices, representing a continuously expanding revenue stream for vendors | With streamlined requisition and approval processes, DSOs have significantly quick purchasing cycles | With large budgets allocated for equipment and technology, DSOs are prime candidates for high-value deals |
DSO Market Benchmarks
- 10%+ of all dentists are affiliated with a DSO-supported practice
- 20% of dentists under the age of 34 have a DSO affiliation
These figures from (ADA Health Policy Institute) indicate a growing trend in DSO affiliations, with a particular concentration among younger dentists
