Dental Market Overview: DSOs Poised for Rapid, Long-Term Growth
The dental support organization (DSO) sector is positioned for swift and sustainable growth within the overall dental market, a massive $136+ billion industry that continues to grow at 6% annually.1
DSOs continue to see rising popularity among dental professionals but still maintain substantial room for further expansion. Only 10% of over 200,000 U.S. dentists were affiliated with a DSO in 2019, highlighting a largely untapped market for DSOs to penetrate.2 Additionally, as specialization within the broader dental sector matures, significant value can be further unlocked from diversification of revenue streams and cross-referrals across practices.
