DSO + DPMs

There are several trends this year that could have either positive or negative effects on DSO activity and consolidation. 

DSOs and dental organizations had an active February in California, Florida and New York, announcing several practice additions and openings.

Irvine, Calif.-based Pacific Dental Services is one of the three largest DSOs in the U.S., supporting nearly 1,000 practice locations. 

Morrisville, N.C.-based Affordable Care opened an Affordable Dentures & Implants location in California.

Here are six executives who are leading key players in the DSO field and supporting notable initiatives in the dental industry: 

San Antonio-based 7to7 Dental received a strategic investment from GTCR and Avryo Health Services.

Dallas-based MB2 Dental partnered with a dental practice in West Virginia, marking the 40th state it supports locations in.

Several DSO executives have spoken with Becker's in recent months to describe their growth strategies and trends in the industry. 

Several DSOs and dental groups have recently landed investments to support growth initiatives.
