There is no question that the world that we live in is constantly changing and moving forward. Professionals in the dental industry are not immune to these forces and are seeking out networking and resources to adapt to these changes.

A new dentist will be leaving school with a significant debt load and must navigate the employment options. Corporate dentistry, group practice, single location, employment contracts, buy-in agreements, and practice location are among the decisions they will be making before they even see their first patient.

Current associates face similar challenges as the new graduate but contend with a different set of decisions. Is the current office or location going to provide the best opportunity for success, what marketing tools are there to generate more new patients and how can dentists be sure that the employment and buy-in agreements are fair and reasonable.

Practicing dental clinic owners who are looking for associates, partners, or buy out possibilities struggle to find the right fit in a competitive market. How to attract a great associate or partner and have a successful transition are concerned for these owners.

Keeping up to date with new technology, equipment, dental supplies and software systems is a constant educational component of transitioning dental practices. Providing numerous communication opportunities for easy access to this information will be identified with Dental Connection.

"Our Advisory Board has been working together for the last several months developing Dental Connection into a resource that all dental professionals across the state can rely upon for a wealth of information," states Cheryl O'Hern, President of Dental Connection. "The network is comprised of individuals that are working daily with dental professionals across the state.
