DSO + DPMs

Dallas-based DECA Dental Group recently launched a joint venture ownership program for dentists under its Ideal Dental brand.

Over a dozen DSOs have expanded their networks in states along the eastern coast within the last few months, including Heartland Dental, Dental365 and Affordable Care.

Here are seven DSOs that have recently expanded their networks in the Midwest:

A shopping center in Kernersville, N.C., that includes an Aspen Dental practice was sold for $26 million, according to a Sept. 9 report by Connect CRE.

New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Dental365 acquired Legacy Dental Services Organization, its second DSO in Massachusetts.

Irving, Texas-based U.S. Oral Surgery Management has added four new partner practices to its network, including its first in New Hampshire. 

Hackensack, N.J.-based Max Surgical Specialty Management has grown in its first year to support more than 20 locations and 30 surgeons in 4 states.

Most organizations rely on key performance indicators (KPIs) for driving strategic decisions, optimizing operations, and improving financial outcomes, and dental service organizations (DSOs) are no different.

Chicago-based Aspen Dental is set to open a practice location in Mansfield, Texas, according to a Sept. 6 report by Mansfield Record.

Here are 10 DSOs and dental groups that expanded their networks with new practice affiliations, openings and acquisitions, as well as companies that added partner dentists and surgeons, as reported by Becker's in August.
