Owning your dental practice has long been the gold standard. It offers freedom, pride, and a sense of legacy. But it also brings financial risks, staffing challenges, and the weight of running a business all on your own.
When affiliating with Heartland Dental and supported practice, there is another option: a support model where you retain your clinical autonomy while we provided assistant with the non-clinical administrative day to day burdens.
- Private Practice: Freedom … With Heavy Responsibility
You’re in control — of the team, the marketing, the culture. But you’re also responsible for HR, compliance, payroll, marketing, and more. It’s rewarding, yes, but it’s also a lot. - Affiliation with DSO and a supported practice: Support Without Sacrificing Autonomy
Affiliating with a dental support organization (DSO) such as Heartland Dental and a supported practice means you keep what matters — your clinical autonomy. No one will ever tell you how to treat patients. But you’ll gain a team dedicated to the non-clinical side of your practice, from operations to compliance, giving your more time to focus on patient care and work/life balance.
What Matters Most to You?
If you’re seeking more time for patients, less stress behind the scenes, and a path to long-term growth, affiliation with a DSO and a supported practice might be the next smart step. And with Heartland Dental, you don’t have to walk away from what you’ve built — you get to preserve your legacy while letting go of the hassle.
