Here are some of the ways in which the DSO supports and boosts its more than 5,600 dental assistants:

  • The company recently invested $5 million in compensation and specialized training for its dental assistants.
  • The PDS College Advancement program, which launched in 2022, provides staff including dental assistants with 100% college tuition coverage for an undergraduate degree. The DSO celebrated its first dental assistant graduate from the program last year.
  • The DSO is continuing its support for the PDS Foundation’s Dr. Carolyn Ghazal Dental Assistant Scholarship, which offers financial aid, mentorship, and on-the-job training to dental assisting students in need.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
