The dental industry will see an increased focus on new technology to make care more accessible for patients, according to one dentist. 

Two dental industry leaders recently connected with Becker's to discuss the most overrated trends in dentistry.

Chris Villanueva, DMD, is the founder and CEO of MB2 Dental, a dental partnership organization that added more than 120 practices to its network and reached the 500-practice milestone in 2022. 

Increased transparency and reimbursement are what two dentists would like to see from insurance companies this year. 

The rise of multispecialty dental centers is one of several trends Specialty1 Partners is currently following, according to one company exec. 

The rise of specialty models is one of several trends among DSOs and management services organizations one leader is following in the dental industry.

Hiring staff, expanding their practice and adding new technology are some of the changes that dentists are planning to make at their practices this year. 

After adding several practices and inking deals to support expansion last year, Dallas-based Smile Doctors has positioned itself to continue its growth in 2023.

Oral surgeons could be seeing a decrease in patient flow as inflation affects their willingness to spend on dental care, one oral surgery leader says.
