corporate dentistry

Lets start with the general state of the profession: The field is getting saturated and will require you to move to a more rural setting to find a job that pays more than $120K. Insurance reimbursements are cut year-after-year, making you have to work harder to collect compensation over...

https://bloggerdds.weebly.com/blog/dentistry-sucks This post makes it seem like being a dentist is horrible. The the points that scare me the most are the financials. Do you really only make $100,000? I don’t particularly plan to open a practice, and I will be going to a dental school that is...

Hey all, I am in the midst of determining what dental school I will be able to attend this coming fall. I have an offer of admission from an expensive private school and am still praying to get into my state school. The entire situation has me thinking about my future quite a bit, as well as...

I'm a new dentist, just graduated a few months ago and now I'm practicing. I joined a corporate office and I'm working as an associate in a corporate-owned office with another dentist with 20+ years of experience. He doesn't own the practice but he acts like he owns the place, telling people...

So these last few days, I've been shadowing a general dentist in my area. Today, we got to talking about the future of dentistry. He immediately became frustrated when I asked him what his thoughts are on the subject, as he believes dentistry will not be the same because of the control the...

I've noticed that there is a lot of chatter about the rise in corporate dentistry in the past few years... no doubt about it. When I graduated from dental school 1 year ago, many of my classmates went straight into corporate dentistry. Their reasons were variable, but mostly revolved around...
