The top National DSOs have been growing rapidly since 2017, and this consolidation trend is likely to accelerate as we enter 2025. The top 10 Dental Organizations by size (across models; DSO, DPO, OSO) as we head into 2025 are: Heartland Dental Aspen Dental PDS Health MB2 Dental Smile Brands Inc. Sonrava Health Smile Doctors Dental Care Alliance Freedom Dental Partners Dental leaders are optimistic about 2025, as you can see from recent predictions from industry experts. John (J.) Hedrick, CEO of Smile Doctors, said in an interview with Becker's: "To me, it feels a bit more like we'll see relief and activity in maybe the first half of next year, more than the back half of this year." Brian A. Colao, Director of Dykema DSO Industry Group, shared in our latest episode of All Things DSO: "I think the first quarter of next year will bring a lot of optimism, and we’ll probably see heightened activity in the second quarter. There's a lot more optimism now than there's been at any point since the end of 2022." It's an exciting time to be in the dental industry, especially for Planet DDS. DSO growth in 2025 will stem from increasing EBITDA, same-store growth, and expanding location counts. To achieve this growth, DSOs are searching for software providers to partner with them and help achieve their goals. Our customers have told us the most important things to them are: Scalability - DSOs need a solution that is built for the enterprise, making it easy for them to scale by democratizing data, and improving operational efficiency. Security - Healthcare is a target for cyber-attacks. It is crucial to find solutions that have achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and are architected to provide security and redundancy. Future-Proofed Technology Solutions - DSO's need software that doesn't stand in the way of innovation or prevent connections with new tools that allow for growth. Flexibility - Workflows, strategies and approaches vary in the DSO space, solutions that allow you to choose your own adventure while providing automations are critical. We built DentalOS™ to address the specific needs of growing DSOs such as eliminating broken workflows, inefficient data management, and limited third-party integrations. Our approach is simple. Listen to what DSOs want, and then build software that makes it easier for them to accomplish their goals on their terms. We pulled the data for the chart from DrBicuspid, and wanted to end this post by sharing a quote from an article they published a few days ago by Beth Gaddis. Andrew Jones, Chief Operating Officer of Imagen Dental Partners: "In 2025, we're consolidating into one PMS, Denticon, so we can standardize and scale. We want to have a cloud-based system so we have visibility and access to data and to help our teams so they can save time." Wouldn't be surprising at all to see Imagen crack this top 10 in the next few years. Anything missing? #dentalos #dso Chart made with Flourish

🦷 What led SmileDirectClub (SDC), an American teledentistry company once valued at nearly $9 billion and a customer base of 2 million people poised to disrupt the traditional braces industry, to shut its doors after such phenomenal growth? Threatened by the SDC’s disruptive move, dentists allied with regulators and rallied against SDC. They challenged SDC’s quality and safety of care, sparking lawsuits, regulatory investigations, and negative media attention. The high cost and time of legal disputes coupled with a massive advertising expense to mitigate reputation damage and attract new customers, resulted in mounting debt. Disruption is often intuitively appealing to managers and entrepreneurs, as the industry to be disrupted provides a clear target of a known market size and deals with a known need for which people have demonstrated a willingness to pay. However, as SDC shows, targeting the core of an existing industry with disruptive solutions often invites strong resistance and direct confrontation from well-entrenched incumbents and other vested interests. Companies that want to disrupt should be prepared for this, both mentally and strategically. Disruption is not the only path to innovation and growth. Creation without disruption or nondisruptive creation is about creating a new market outside or beyond existing industry boundaries, and has its own organizational and business advantages. Find out the four advantages of opting for this nondisruptive route in the latest Harvard Business Review article from Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, with Mi Ji -> https://lnkd.in/gkeWzT-k #NondisruptiveCreation #BeyondDisruption #blueoceanstrategy

🚨 Industry News: DentalMonitoring Sets New Standard In Orthodontic Remote Monitoring With De Novo Approval By the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) DentalMonitoring®, the leader in AI-powered remote monitoring for orthodontic treatment, has received De Novo approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the DentalMonitoring solution to be used by orthodontists in optimizing clinical care. DentalMonitoring is a medical device software using image processing algorithms to analyze pictures of the oral cavity (hereinafter Scans). Scans are taken using the DM App, a smartphone, and the manufacturer’s proprietary hardware products. DentalMonitoring is indicated for use for patients over the age of 6 and reports results solely on permanent teeth. The product is designed to assist healthcare professionals in remotely monitoring dental treatments, orthodontic treatments, oral health, and treatment progress. The results of DentalMonitoring are intended to be used as an aid in diagnosis and not on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making.
