Understanding the Material Differences Between the DSO and the Invisible DSO

Wednesday, June 4, 2025
5:00 pm PST / 8:00 pm EST

Partners, not managers.

Join DOCS Education and Chip Fichtner, Cofounder and Principal of Large Practice Services, for an informative look at dental practice opportunities through DSOs and IDSOs. You’ll explore the distinctions between traditional Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) and Invisible DSOs (IDSOs). Often favored over conventional organizations, IDSOs offer a more aligned partnership model.

Learn how partnering with dentists rather than just managing them, IDSOs provide a shared ownership structure that can enhance practice value, which is particularly beneficial in today’s challenging economic environment.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the differences between DSOs and IDSOs.
• Evaluate the benefits of IDSOs to dentists.
• Identify the factors that most qualify a practice for an IDSO partnership
• Learn to apply IDSOs’ strategies for practice growth.
