Join an Oral Surgery DSO

As an oral surgeon, your advanced training sets you apart—but running a solo practice can distract from patient care.

As an oral surgeon, your training and skills put you at the top of the dental field, but running a solo practice can pull you away from what matters most: patient care. If you’re feeling the pressure of overhead, referrals, and admin burnout, it might be time to consider partnering with a Dental Support Organization (DSO) like Community Dental Partners.

Why Partner as an Oral Surgeon:

  • Focus on Patients, Not Paperwork
    • CDP handles scheduling, staffing, legal, and ordering so you can focus entirely on clinical care.
    • Say goodbye to admin overload and hello to a career centered on patient outcomes.

  • Built-In Referral Network
    • Join a team of general dentists who refer directly to you.
    • Avoid the hassle of building referral pipelines on your own.

  • No Marketing or Legal Burden
    • CDP provides marketing support and legal protection, saving you time and money.
    • We ensure your schedule stays full so you don’t have to.

  • Access to Advanced Technology Without the Cost
    • Use the latest diagnostic and surgical tools (like Cone Beam CTs and 3D printers) without the overhead.
    • CDP makes it possible to deliver high-tech care with zero equipment investment on your part.

  • Serve Underserved Communities
    • Help patients who might otherwise go without care.
    • Be part of a mission-driven organization focused on access and equity.

  • Smooth Patient Experience
